The reasons for conveyor belt slippage during production can be numerous. Below, we discuss the common causes encountered during operations and the methods for dealing with them:
Firstly, the conveyor belt of the food conveying line is overburdened, exceeding the motor's load capacity, causing it to slip. At this point, it is necessary to reduce the amount of conveyed material or increase the conveyor's own load-bearing capacity.
The issue is that the startup speed of the food conveyer line is too fast, causing slippage. It's recommended to start slowly or pulse twice before restarting, which can also overcome the slippage issue.
Thirdly, the initial tension is too low. The reason is that the belt does not have enough tension as it leaves the roller, causing slippage. The solution at this point is to adjust the tensioning device to increase the initial tension.
The roller's bearing is damaged and does not rotate. The cause may be excessive dust accumulation or failure to promptly inspect and replace parts that have become severely worn and do not turn smoothly, leading to increased resistance and slippage.
The slipping phenomenon caused by insufficient friction between the roller of the conveyor and the conveyor belt is often due to moisture on the belt or a humid working environment. At this point, a little pine rosin powder should be added to the roller.
