Read MoreCleaning Conveyor Belts Efficiently, Minimizing Maintenance
By Adam Puchalla How do contaminants on conveyor belts, so-called “carryback,” affect the production process? Caking on conveyor belts is one of the main causes of inefficiencies in conveying operations, because it has two negative effects. First, caked material on the belt is usually carried to places where the material is not supposed to go – to the floor, to…
