When the conveyor belt is in normal operation, the most common annoying problem is slipping. The following will analyze the reasons for the conveyor belt slippage and the solutions.


1.The friction between the drive roller and the conveyor belt is not enough to cause slipping.

The reason for the rejection is mostly water on the conveyor belt or a damp environment. The solution is to add some rosin powder to the drum. But be careful not to throw in by hand, and use blowing equipment to blow in to avoid personal accidents.


2. The bearing of the tail roller is damaged and does not rotate or the bearings of the upper and lower rollers (supporting the weight of the conveyor belt and the material) are damaged too much.

The cause of the damage is that the tail floats too much, and there is no timely maintenance and replacement of damaged or non-rotating parts, which increases the resistance and causes skidding.


3. The initial tension is too small.

Insufficient tension at the conveyor belt leaving the roller causes the conveyor belt to slip. This situation usually occurs at startup, and the solution is to adjust the tensioning device to increase the initial tension.


4. Insufficient coefficient of friction on the surface of the roller.

Too much wear on the surface of the roller, excessive wetness of the belt, lubricating oil on the surface of the belt, and materials that are easily swollen by water on the surface of the belt will reduce the friction on the surface of the roller.

Solution: Add a reversing roller at the drive roller to increase the contact surface between the belt and the drive roller. Change the way of encapsulating the drive drum, etc.


5. Too fast starting speed can also cause slippage.

At this time, it can be started slowly. If a squirrel cage motor is used, it can be started after two jogs, which can also effectively overcome the slipping phenomenon.


6. If the load of the conveyor belt is too large, the motor will also slip.

The advantage of slip at this time is to protect the motor. Otherwise, the motor will be burnt after a long time. But for operation, it is a slip accident. To overcome the slippage of the conveyor belt, it is necessary to find the cause of the slippage before taking effective measures.


Tip:

Nylon conveyor belts are suitable for conveying non-corrosive and non-spike-free block, granular and powdery materials at room temperature. Such as coal, coke, sand, gravel, cement, and other bulk materials (materials) and finished articles. It can reduce transportation costs and realize high-speed, large-span, and long-distance transportation.

The nylon conveyor belt has the characteristics of a thin belt body, impact resistance, good groove formation, large interlayer adhesion, excellent flexibility, and long service time. It is suitable for conveying materials under medium and long distances, high load capacity, and high-speed conditions. Used in mines, coal yards, chemical industry, metallurgy, construction, ports, and other scenes. We provide custom nylon conveyor belts, please feel free to contact us if you need them.
