The conveyor systems used in industry, depending on the type of products that move, such as\u00a0conveyor belts\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0roller conveyors,<\/strong> require different cleaning and maintenance processes.<\/p>\n

\n

If roller conveyor systems<\/strong> are part of the distribution chain of items already included in boxes, it will require less cleaning work than those rollers that are in direct contact with the product.\u00a0The latter is the case of the rollers used in the food or fruit and vegetable industry.<\/p>\n

\n

The cleaning of the conveyor rollers<\/strong> and its proper maintenance will guarantee the efficient transport\u00a0and the useful life of the conveyor rollers.<\/p>\n

\n

Conveyor rollers<\/strong> are made of different materials depending on the type of products for which it is used.\u00a0One of the aspects that we must take into account is that the products that we use for cleaning (chemical products) do not spoil the composition of the roller or change its structure.\u00a0For example, if it is a roller with a rubberized surface or a roller with stainless steel,\u00a0PVC, steel, aluminum or galvanized and painted;\u00a0each type of material may not be resistant to certain products.<\/p>\n

\n

The agro-food industry<\/strong> is one of those that most requires cleaning of the rollers in its warehouses and processing plants. Also, this is necessary in portable processing systems located on the farm and in meat, bakery and other food industries.\u00a0Many products are juicy (oranges and citrus fruit in general,\u00a0tomatoes, etc.) and can give off\u00a0liquids\u00a0(many of them acids) during\u00a0processing.\u00a0These acids can damage the roller if they are not\u00a0cleaned\u00a0regularly.<\/p>\n

\n

In case of\u00a0manual\u00a0cleaning\u00a0of the rollers<\/strong>, by means of cleaning operators, it is essential that they know the composition of the surface and that they only use cleaning products that do not spoil the material.\u00a0For this reason, there are\u00a0specific cleaning products for cleaning rollers<\/strong> that guarantee their cleaning efficiency while not damaging the roller.\u00a0We also have specific roller brushes for cleaning roller conveyors<\/strong>, with different types of fibers suitable for each material and use.<\/p>\n

\n

In general, when we work with a high number of surfaces with\u00a0rollers, a more careful and thorough cleaning is required; we have\u00a0mechanized\u00a0roller\u00a0cleaning systems\u00a0<\/strong>available on the market\u00a0that provide excellent cleaning results, reducing downtime and reducing costs of maintenance.<\/p>\n

\n

The\u00a0roller cleaning by cleaning robots.\u00a0<\/strong>These are\u00a0cleaning\u00a0systems\u00a0that are placed on the rollers while it is running (turning).\u00a0The cleaning system moves along the roller or rollers making turns.\u00a0At its base, it can have different types of specific roller contact systems for cleaning and treating each type of roller.\u00a0These robots release the appropriate cleaning product during its movement on the roller while it rotates while cleaning.\u00a0It can be\u00a0used and adapted to any conveyor system.\u00a0It is very efficient and with these we obtain an excellent result. We can find it for example in the\u00a0cleaning of the\u00a0ceramic<\/strong>\u00a0rollers\u00a0<\/strong>of tempering furnaces.<\/p>\n

\n

The\u00a0conveyor\u00a0rollers\u00a0<\/strong>themselves\u00a0can be a cleaning system for the agro-food industry.\u00a0Thus, we have\u00a0fiber rollers\u00a0<\/strong>made of different types of\u00a0fibers (nylon, polyamide, polypropylene, natural fibers, metallic or abrasive fibers).\u00a0In turn, these rollers can have different arrangement in its fibers (compact, spiral to the right or left, in V, in parallel, in a group of 3, etc.) and with different density to\u00a0carry out\u00a0effective cleaning\u00a0in different transport systems.\u00a0These rollers are also used in the cleaning of industrial machinery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Maintaining<\/strong> the conveyor rollers<\/strong> in good condition requires a review of the mechanized and movement-related structures, but also an appropriate cleaning protocol<\/strong> for each type of activity.<\/p>\n
