Greasing
Drive end and idle roller shafts on conveyor systems are fitted with bearings that require
greasing at regular intervals.
Freefall diverter reject devices are fitted with bearings that require greasing at regular
intervals.
Bearings should be greased four times per year, unless the environment or cleaning regime
dictates greasing more frequently. BP Energrease LS2 or an equivalent grease is
recommended.
Conveyor systems
• Isolate the electrical and compressed air supplies.
• Some designs may require the removal of fitted covers or guards to gain access to the
bearings.
• Using a grease gun, apply grease to each nipple in turn. Take care not to apply too much
grease. Grease should not issue from the bearing.
• Re-connect the electrical and compressed air supplies.
• Ensure all removed covers/guards are replaced.
Freefall systems a with diverter reject
• Isolate the electrical and compressed air supplies.
• Release and open the hinged door upon which the control box is mounted; an allen key is
required to remove the fastenings.
• Using a grease gun, apply grease to each nipple in turn. Take care not to apply too much
grease. Grease should not issue from the bearing.
• Close and fasten the door. Re-connect the electrical and compressed air supplies.
• Ensure all removed covers/guards are replaced.
Air regulator unit maintenance
With the exception of systems fitted with air blast or Stop-On-Detect or electrically driven
rejects the compressed air supply pressure to the fitted reject device is fed through an air
regulator unit. The particular model of regulator may vary according to the specification of
the system. Each type will have a pressure adjustment control air input and output fittings a
pressure gauge and water trap.
