This serves to prevent damage and keep things moving smoothly. Not all materials are appropriate and finding the right or wrong one can lead to problems, like a belt of plastic carrying heavy loads. It could break or wear out sooner — at far greater expense. It is also important to consider the environment in which your conveyor belt will be operated. For example, if your system will be in a moist environment, you should use material that doesn't hold water.

Typical Causes of High-Capacity Belt Conveyor Problems and Their Remedies

To correct this, you need to examine the surface of the belt. Occasionally, adding some special materials to the belt can make it grip better. A second problem is ordinary wear and tear. That means pressing can damage the belt over time. The solution is to have the belt inspected from time to time for any nicks or damages as new cutting inserts will not help if you have a damaged belt. Replacing the belt before it snaps can save time and money down the line. People also should look out for misalignment. This occurs when the belt does not track straight.

PVC is also light and can take on a wide range of styles. This convenient to fit it in various machines and positions. It’s also impervious to many chemicals, which is why it’s great for factories that deal with all sorts of substances. Steel belts are used in some applications. Steel is incredibly strong, and has a capacity to withstand much heavier loads. It also works beautifully with metal parts or heavy boxes. But, steel belts can be heavy and require more power to operate. Another option is fabric belts. These are woven fabric belts, and they are light weight and easy to flex. They are ideal for transporting lighter loads or for use in tight spaces. Take into consideration also environmental issues while selecting the materials.
