Slippage and Solutions of PVC Conveyor Belt
There are many reasons for the slippage of the conveyor belt during operation. The common reasons and solutions are:
1. The initial tension is too small. Insufficient tension at the point where the conveyor belt leaves the drum causes the conveyor belt to slip. This situation generally occurs at startup, and the solution is to adjust the tensioning device and increase the initial tension.
2. Too fast startup speed can also cause slippage. At this time, it can be started slowly, and it can be started after jogging twice, which can also effectively overcome the slippage.
3. The rear roller bearing is damaged and cannot rotate or the upper and lower idler bearings are damaged and cannot rotate too much. The reason for the damage is that the tail floats too much, and the damaged or inflexible parts are not repaired and replaced in time, which increases the resistance and causes slippage.
4. The friction between the drive roller and the conveyor belt is not enough to cause slippage. The main reason is that there is water on the conveyor belt or the environment is wet. The solution is to add some rosin powder to the roller. But be careful not to add it by hand, but blow it in with a blower device to avoid personal accidents.
5. The load of the conveyor belt is too large, and it will slip if it exceeds the capacity of the motor. The advantage of slippage at this time is that it protects the motor. Otherwise, the motor will be burned for a long time. But for operation, it is a slip accident.
