Factory Acceptance Checks for a Powered Roller Conveyor

A buyer should decide before the factory acceptance test which checks must pass and which may be recorded as observations. For a powered roller conveyor handling cartons, the test plan can tie each check to the quoted configuration rather than to a generic conveyor.

Ask the supplier to state the roller diameter, conveyor speed, and roller pitch offered, then confirm the test unit matches those values. The catalog reference lists 76 or 89 mm rollers, speeds of 13 / 16 / 18 m/min, a standard roller pitch of 166.7 mm, and a maximum payload of 2,500 kg; treat these as reference values, not as claims about the supplied model.

Useful pass or fail questions include: does the conveyor start, run, and stop as specified under the agreed load? Do cartons track without jamming at the quoted pitch? Is the measured speed within the tolerance the supplier confirms? Are guards and controls as quoted?

Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which of these checks will be witnessed, what load will be used, how speed will be measured, and what acceptance criteria apply.
