How to Prevent Contamination Damage to Conveyor Wear Strips

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to prevent contamination damage to conveyor wear strips. 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. Identify contaminant type. Sand, sugar, fines or chemical residues all accelerate wear differently.
2. Add scraper or air knife. Install before strip area to remove debris from chain and product.
3. Choose contamination-resistant grade. PE1000 with HMWPE blend handles abrasive contaminants better.
4. Schedule cleaning cycle. Daily wipe-down for food lines, weekly for industrial.
5. Monitor wear pattern. Asymmetric wear indicates contamination on one side — fix upstream.
