What Should I Do if the Nylon Conveyor Belt Slips (1)?
2025-07-30 09:00Slippage is one of the common faults of belt conveyors. Once a slippage failure occurs, it can easily cause material to fall, blockage of the feed pipe, wear of the conveyor belt, and broken belt, resulting in the belt conveyor unable to operate normally. We will use two articles to analyze the 7 major causes of nylon conveyor belt slippage and solutions for you.
When the tension of the nylon conveyor belt is insufficient or there is not enough tension, there will not be sufficient friction driving force between the active wheel and the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt and load movement cannot be towed. Insufficient or improper adjustment of the stroke of the spiral or hydraulic tensioning device, insufficient weight of the heavy hammer tensioning and vehicle-type tensioning device, and the mechanism is stuck, etc. will cause insufficient tensioning force of the belt conveyor, causing slippage. The solution is that belt conveyors with spiral or hydraulic tensioning structures can increase the tensioning force by adjusting the tensioning stroke. Belt conveyors with heavy hammer tensioning and cart-type tensioning structures can be processed by increasing the weight of the counterweight or eliminating the mechanism jamming. When increasing the configuration of the tensioning device, it is enough to add to the nylon conveyor belt without slipping. Do not add too much to prevent the conveyor belt from bearing unnecessary excessive tension and reducing its service life.
After the belt conveyor is in operation for a long time, the rubber surface and groove of the drive drum may be severely worn, which will cause the friction coefficient of the drive drum surface to decrease and the friction force to decrease, causing the nylon conveyor belt to slip. It can be solved by re-gluing or replacing the drum. Daily attention should be paid to the inspection of the gluing of the drive drum.
Due to changes in the natural environment, on-site ground flushing, equipment maintenance and other reasons, attachments that have a certain lubricating effect on the non-working surface of the nylon conveyor belt will accumulate on the surface of the driving drum during operation, causing the friction between the drum and the nylon conveyor belt to be significantly reduced, causing slippage. If you want to solve it, you can determine the source of the attachment and cut off the source. If the source cannot be cut off, you can use blast equipment to sprinkle some rosin powder on the drum.
The nylon conveyor belt produced by Liaoning Hengyi Rubber Machine Belt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. adopts a low-noise design and is made of high-strength nylon with good tensile properties. Our nylon conveyor belt has uniform tension, which can avoid the risk of slippage and fracture. The nylon conveyor belt we produce can transport materials over medium and long distances, with high load and fast speed, and is widely used in mines, coalfields, chemical industry, metallurgy, construction, ports and other departments. We are a company specializing in the production of rubber conveyor belts. We have passed ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other international standard certifications.
