Belt runs deviation to one side at a given section of the conveyor frame. |
◎ Conveyor frame or structure crooked. ◎ Idler stuck with materials. ◎ Idler poor running. ◎ Idlers or pulleys out-of-square with center line. ◎ Pulley center skews or sticks with materials. ◎ Idlers in forepart of the affected area isn’t perpendicular to the running direction of the belt. |
※ Check the affected area and adjust the straightness and levelness. ※ Remove accumulation, install scrapers and other cleaning devices. ※ Improve maintenance and lubrication. ※ Readjust the idlers in affected area. ※ Adjust the pulley center, install scrapers, and remove attachment. ※ Adjust it. |
Particular section of the belt runs deviation at all parts of the conveyor frame. |
◎ Belt joint crooked. ◎ Insufficient straightness of the belt itself. |
※ Cut off the joint section and resplice. ※ Install the automatic centering idler at the return section of the tail pulley. |
Belt runs deviation for long distance or at entire length of the belt. |
◎ Belt runs deviation near tail pulley within the carrying area.
|
※ Install the correcting idler in the front of the tail idler. ※ Improve the loading position. ※ Readjust the idler in the affected area. ※ Check the affected area and adjust the straightness and levelness ※ Install wind shelter and automatic centering idler. ※ Make idlers. |
Belt runs deviation at tail pulley. | ◎ Belt runs deviation around tail pulley through the loading area. ◎ Material slippage or stacks. ◎ Idlers or pulleys out-of-square with center line. |
※ Install correcting idler prior to tail idler. ※ Improve loading and transferring conditions, install cleaning devices and improve maintenance. ※ Readjust the idlers in affected area. |
Belt runs deviation at head pulley. | ◎ Damages in coating rubber. ◎ Material slippage or stacks. ◎ Idlers or pulleys out-of-square with center line. ◎ Idler stands not centered on belt. |
※ Replace pulley or recoat. ※ Improve loading and transferring conditions, install cleaning devices and improve maintenance. ※ Readjust the idlers in affected area. ※ Readjust the idler in the affected area. |
Belt slips. | ◎ Insufficient traction pull between belt and pulley. ◎ Damages in coating rubber. ◎ Counterweight too light. |
※ Thicken the coating rubber on the drive pulley and install cleaning devices. ※ Replace pulley or recoat. ※ Add counterweight or take-up pulley. |
Scratch, cuts, stripping, or abnormal wear on the top cover. skirt board. |
◎ Insufficient length of skirt board. ◎ Improper skirt materials or use used belt with the canvas exposed, getting in touch with the belt. |
※ Adjust the length until the materials be stable on the belt. ※ Select proper rubber skirt board. |
Scratch, tear, or abnormal wear on the bottom cover. | ◎ Idler poor running. ◎ Belt slips on the drive pulley. ◎ Idler stuck with materials. ◎ Bolt protrudes the lagging. ◎ Material trapped between belt and pulley. ◎ Damages in coating rubber. |
※ Improve maintenance and lubrication ※ Fasten the stretching roller or add counterweight, increase contacting area. ※ Remove accumulation, install scrapers and other cleaning devices. ※ Fasten the bolt, replace the lagging and better to use vulcanized lagging. ※ Install plows or scrapers on return side ahead the tail pulley. ※ Replace pulley or recoa. |
