A coal feeder does one job: deliver the right amount of coal to the mill, steadily. When it does not, the boiler feels it quickly, through unstable firing, load swings and trips. Most feeder problems are not sudden. A belt drifts off centre, a skirt seal wears, a load cell drifts, coal starts to bridge in the inlet, and each one is visible on a walk-down before it becomes a trip. This 33-point coal feeder maintenance checklist follows the coal path from inlet to discharge so nothing gets missed. OxMaint AI maintenance management software turns each stop into a scheduled inspection with recorded findings and follow-up work orders.
Coal Feeder Maintenance Checklist for Thermal Power Plants.
Missed feeder checks show up as unstable coal flow, drifting feed rate and avoidable trips. OxMaint AI connects feeder inspections, issues found, work orders and recurring PM in one platform, so every shift check is recorded and every defect gets an owner and a due date.

The Coal Feeder Walk-Down Checklist
Follow the route from the hopper to the discharge and tick each item as you go. Tags show how often each check is typically done. Critical marks safety items, so never skip them. Intervals are typical; your manufacturer's manual and plant procedures decide the final schedule. Book a demo to see each stop become a scheduled round.
