COURSE OVERVIEW

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in automated distribution and warehousing, as well as manufacturing and production facilities. In combination with computer-controlled pallet handling equipment this allows for more efficient retail, wholesale and manufacturing distribution. It is considered a labor saving system that allows large volumes to move rapidly through a process, allowing companies to ship or receive higher volumes with smaller storage space and with less labor expense. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of conveyor systems operation and maintenance. It covers the various types of conveyors; the most common types of conveyor belts and their characteristics; the components of a conveyor belt assembly and each function; the types of conveyor belt splices and characteristics; the inspection of a conveyor belt for camber and squareness of joint and each limit; checking and maintaining the alignment of the frame and conveyor components; and the installation of a conveyor belt and adjustment to the proper tension.
