6. STARTING AND STOPPING—This may double the horsepower demands on certain applications. Inclines require a brake motor.
7. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STARTS PER MINUTE—Cycling applications vary widely. If you have a cycling application, contact Hytrol to determine the best drive for your application.
8. NUMBER OF HOURS OF USE PER DAY—Light duty conveyors should not be used in 18 or 24 hour per day operations. Even though the conveyor may be rated for that load, it may not last long under that type of use.
9. WILL CONVEYORS BE REVERSED?—Caution. Not all drives will run in reverse. A center drive
may be needed.
10. PAINT FINISH—If a special color is needed, specify. A minimum 2” x 2” metal sample of the
color desired must be provided to formulate a match.
11. SPECIAL MOTORS—Every plant has special motor requirements. Check to see what is needed. Will there be an unusual amount of moisture around the motor? Should the motor be explosion proof?
12. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS MAY AFFECT OTHER COMPONENTS—This is very important. The
environment in which the conveyor is placed in can have a significant impact on whether or not the conveyor will operate properly.
Bearings may not last long in dusty, dirty conditions. Oil, dust, flour, etc. could adversely affect the operation of conveyors.
Conveyors are not warranted when used outside.
As you know, lead times are critical. Make sure to communicate your information to your Hytrol Application Team and let them help you select the right conveyors at the right price and delivery for our customers.
