    • If the local regulation are different than specified in the Safety Requirements, then the more stringent
    condition shall prevail
    • The conveyors shall have a walkway on each side, with hand rails, when the access is not possible from
    ground floor
    • The conveyor shall have a safety emergency shut-down pull rope on each side

    MAINTAINABILITY

    • Anti-reverse is required for uphill slope


    • For down hill slope a slow down system is required and also a brake to keep the conveyor in position
    • Access on both sides of the conveyor shall be provided
    • Access must be provided for belt replacement, vulcanizing and replacement of components
    • Doors (610 mm square if possible according to belt size) on discharge chute to inspect and clean head pulley, belt and belt
    cleaners shall be provided
    • Lubrication system and safety guards that allows the lubrication of all bearings while the conveyor is running
    shall be provided
    • Lifting beam is required for the maintenance of the conveyors drive if the motor or gearbox weight is above
    50 daN, shall be provided
