6 WEAR ITEMS & MAINTENANCE FOR SPECIFIC DRIVE OPTIONS
6.1 Important Notes About Wear Items & Maintenance
The following information regarding life of the wear items and service or adjustment intervals of the functional
elements are only GUIDELINES. Conveyors are application-specifi c products whose life expectancy can vary
depending on their relative loads and speeds, and which can be signifi cantly infl uenced by environmental
factors.
• All moving components and screw connections should be checked every 6 months.
• All safety-relevant components should be part of a regularly scheduled weekly inspection
• The proper function of these components must be confi rmed at all times.
• Do NOT operate conveyors if safety-relevant components are damaged or missing.
• All parts which contact the product should be cleaned weekly (example: belt).
• Belts require little special care. They are easily cleaned using lukewarm soapy water.
• Remove heavy grease coatings with ethyl alcohol.
• Blow off debris from belts with structured surfaces using compressed air.

Additional Notes for ZRF-P 2010 BC:
Relax the nip drums (see Item 9 from Section 6) in their location. Once the side of the conveyor is exposed;
the drive assembly needs to be disassembled in order to thread out the old belt. Do this on the same side
as the closure strip (3) from above. Thread belt back through drive assembly and then over idlers.
