Fault Phenomenon: Vogele 2100-3i paver conveyor chain runs with excessive jump and metallic rubbing sound.
Troubleshooting Process:
– Checked guide: chain guide wear plate worn through.
– Checked chain: chain pitch elongated.
– Checked lubrication: lack of lubrication.
– Checked for foreign objects: hard debris caught.
