COMPUTER-AIDED MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR CONVEYOR BELTS

Operational reliability of conveyor transport systems is a problem that relates to the provision of an adequate level of availability of a continuous transport system, which in the case of belt conveyors depends not only on their usability, as determined by their design and manufacture, but also on the appropriate level of their use, understood, among others, as the degree of sophistication and effectiveness of the methods and tools applied in industrial diagnosis of those devices. The present article describes the most popular diagnostic systems used in the maintenance of internal transport conveyor systems. Also a new method of computer-aided maintenance of such systems is presented.
