Belt conveyors play a vital role in modern industrial production, marking the transition of industrial production from traditional manual operation mode to automated mechanical production.
However, belt slippage is one of the common problems in the use of belt conveyors. Below we will introduce the causes and solutions of belt slippage in detail.
🔍 Causes of belt slippage
The conveyor belt and roller of the belt conveyor are its core components, but during use, the phenomenon of roller degumming occurs from time to time. This is mainly due to the fact that the belt angle is too small, which leads to a decrease in the friction coefficient between the conveyor belt and the drive roller, making the rubber surface of the roller easy to degumming. In addition, when the roller wrap angle of the belt conveyor is too small, the minimum tension of the conveyor belt deviation point is large, which also increases the risk of belt slippage.
🛠️ Solutions to belt slippage
1️⃣ Increase the wrap angle: Properly increasing the wrap angle of the belt conveyor roller can effectively prevent water and raw materials from entering the roller and conveyor belt, thereby increasing the friction resistance between the roller and the conveyor belt and reducing the possibility of belt slippage and deviation.
2️⃣ Adjust the tension: If the belt tension at the starting point of the roller is too small, a weight device can be installed at the end of the conveyor belt to increase the counterweight to reduce the probability of the conveyor belt slipping.
💡 Scientific and reasonable problem-solving method
In the actual application of belt conveyors, scientific and reasonable problem-solving is the key to maximizing the power of belt conveyors. The above method can effectively prevent belt slipping and improve production efficiency.
