• How do I order replacement parts for my Hytrol conveyor?

  Replacement parts can be ordered through authorized Hytrol Integration Partners or distributors. You will typically need the conveyor model number and serial number, or the Hytrol factory order number, to identify the correct components.

• How typically should the drive chain be lubricated?

  For normal operating environments, Hytrol recommends lubricating the drive chain every 2080 hours of operation or every 6 months, whichever comes first, using a non-detergent petroleum or synthetic lubricant.

• What should I do if the conveyor belt is not tracking properly?

  First, check that all conveyor bed sections are square and level. If the unit is racked or out of square, it must be corrected. You may also need to adjust the take-up screws on the tail pulley or snub idlers to center the belt.

• How often should I perform maintenance on my sortation conveyor?

  Routine preventative maintenance is critical. Check for loose bolts, debris, and proper chain tension monthly. Specific lubrication schedules, such as for the chain oiler on sortation models, should be followed based on hours of operation (e.g., every 2 hours of sorter operation for oiler activation).
