Conveyor Audits, Maintenance, and Repair

1. **Visual Inspection:**
   - Check for any signs of damage, wear, or misalignment.
   - Look for loose or missing bolts, nuts, and fasteners.
   - Inspect the conveyor frame, rollers, belts, and supports for signs of corrosion or rust.

2. **Belts and Rollers:**
   - Examine the conveyor belts for wear, tears, or fraying. Replace any damaged belts.
   - Ensure that the belts are properly tensioned to avoid slippage.
   - Lubricate rollers and bearings as per the manufacturer's recommendations.

3. **Drive System:**
   - Check the motor, gearbox, and couplings for any signs of wear or abnormal noise.
   - Verify that the drive chain or belt is properly tensioned and aligned.
   - Grease or lubricate the drive system components as recommended.

4. **Sprockets and Pulleys:**
   - Inspect sprockets and pulleys for wear, misalignment, and proper tension.
   - Replace any damaged or worn-out sprockets or pulleys.

5. **Guards and Safety Devices:**
   - Ensure all safety guards are in place and functioning correctly.
   - Test emergency stop switches and other safety devices.

6. **Cleaning and Housekeeping:**
   - Regularly clean the conveyor system to prevent debris buildup.
