How to extend the service life of herringbone conveyor belt

The herringbone conveyor belt plays an indispensable role in industrial material transportation. Extending its service life is of great significance to reducing costs and improving production efficiency.

1. Correct installation

Correct installation is the basis for extending the service life. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the conveyor belt is well matched with components such as rollers and idlers. The rollers should be installed parallel and horizontally to avoid deviation of the conveyor belt during operation, because deviation will cause uneven force on the conveyor belt and accelerate wear. At the same time, the joints of the herringbone conveyor belt should be handled with extreme caution. Whether it is a vulcanized joint or a mechanical joint, it must be strictly implemented in accordance with the operating specifications to ensure that the joints are firm and flat, and prevent the joints from becoming weak links and being damaged first.

2. Daily cleaning and maintenance

Daily cleaning work cannot be ignored. During operation, the surface of the conveyor belt is easily contaminated with dust, material particles and other impurities, and should be cleaned regularly. In particular, foreign matter mixed in the herringbone pattern will increase the friction between the conveyor belt and the rollers and idlers, and accelerate wear. In addition, check whether the conveyor belt has scratches, tears, etc., and repair them in time if found.

3. Reasonable adjustment of tension

Appropriate tension is crucial for herringbone conveyor belt. If the tension is too large, the conveyor belt will be subjected to excessive tension, which may easily cause the conveyor belt to deform and break; if the tension is too small, it may cause the conveyor belt to slip, causing increased wear. According to the specifications of the conveyor belt, the weight of the conveyed material and other factors, check and adjust the tension regularly to ensure that it is within a reasonable range.

4. Optimize the operating environment

Improving the operating environment can also help extend the life of the conveyor belt. Try to avoid exposing the conveyor belt to harsh environments, such as high temperature, high humidity or environments with corrosive substances. If it cannot be avoided, take corresponding protective measures, such as adding heat dissipation devices in high temperature environments, using anti-corrosion conveyor belts in environments with corrosive substances, or protecting the conveyor belt. Through these measures, the service life of the herringbone conveyor belt can be effectively extended.
