How to Measure Conveyor Wear Strip Wear and Plan Replacement

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to measure conveyor wear strip wear and plan replacement. JSLT Conveyor produces engineering plastic components in UHMWPE, HDPE, PA, POM and PTFE — full-process fabrication from raw sheet to CNC-machined parts.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Mark inspection points. Mark 5 reference points along each strip for repeatable measurement.
2. Use depth gauge. Measure remaining thickness using digital depth gauge to ±0.05 mm.
3. Track wear rate. Log thickness vs. running hours to estimate replacement interval.
4. Identify rapid-wear zones. Concentrated wear indicates misalignment or contamination — investigate root cause.
5. Plan rotation cycle. Reverse strips end-for-end at 50% wear to double service life.
