It is important to install and operate conveyors in a way that guarantees safety for the personnel installing them and also operators who work around these conveyors. Belt conveyors are often underestimated and forgotten when it comes to safety and maintenance. They are often more complex then first thought. Unfortunately, a lot of conveyor manufacturers do not supply them with the appropriate documentation or belt conveyor handbook pdf or printed version.Often, end users install or operate the conveyors incorrectly and often forget to maintain them in the appropriate way. All this can lead to serious safety issues, expensive manufacturing downtimes and also reduce the lifespan of the conveyor units.For this reason Robotunits belt conveyors are always delivered with a Belt Conveyor Handbook. Each Handbook is a printed booklet, but can also be supplied as a pdf version. These manuals are written in four languages namely English, German, Italian and French. They contain the following information
