Preventive Maintenance is the name of the game
Today the corporate world is driven by much more precise and better business models. There is no room for complacency at all. A company that lags behind will obviously lose the race. So there is an increased demand for better and faster production, reduced downtime, and incorporation of technology into each and every aspect of production to maximize its potential.
Conveyor belts are often subject to all kinds of damage. At times they are clogged by foreign particles and manual cleaning is too tedious and too time consuming. Its during such times that conveyor lubrication can prove beneficial. Lubrication is available for almost all kinds of conveyors which include I-Beam, Enclosed Track, Power and Free, Round Tube, Inverted etc.
With proper conveyor lubrication you can always avoid the need for a manual clean up. Preventive maintenance is the new mantra of the corporate world and this is one of its prime examples. Today it is not that tough to find conveyor lubrication equipment.
There are several websites that are dedicated to these equipments. These websites specialize in not just conveyor lubrication or conveyor lubrication equipment. They also have a complete conveyor monitoring system which will give you real time updates on the status of the conveyor belt. Now that really makes the job far easier than it ever was. Now you can have information like Air pressure, chain speed, lubricant levels and chain wear delivered in real time to your desktop.
You can also program the software to initiate automatic conveyor lubrication if the levels decline below the supported level. If you are heading a production unit then you simply cannot afford to do without this kind of equipment with you. So what are you waiting for? Log on to the internet today and check out some of the great sites offering conveyor lubrication.

1You seem to be touching on a subject you don’t know much about. Conveyor belts are completely different from chain driven conveyors. The “equiptment” you spoke of is designed specifically for chain conveyors (I-Beam, enclosed track, power and free, etc..). The Mighty Lube Monitoring System that delivers real time data to your PC is designed primarily to measure wear to the hundredth of an inch on chain conveyors and has nothing to do with conveyor belts. Aside from the pillow block bearings that need occasional grease, conveyor lubrication as you spoke about has nothing to do with rubber belt conveyors. Most of the lubricant used in industrial conveyor lubricators is mineral spirit based and needs to be kept away from rubber belt conveyors. While we greatly appreciate the publicity for our industry, this article was clearly not very well researched. An “Engineer” would know better.

2Great article on conveyor belts. They are an often over looked item in the production environment. Do you have much experience with metal detector conveyor belts?
I’ve seen some articles at Industrial Machinery News (http://www.industrial-machinery-news.com)
