The maintenance of conveyor belts mainly includes maintaining cleanliness, suitable storage conditions, regular inspections and maintenance to ensure their long-term effective operation. The following are detailed maintenance methods and precautions:
Keep clean:
Avoid contact between the conveyor belt and substances such as acids, alkalis, oils, organic solvents, etc. to prevent corrosion.
Regularly wipe the surface of the conveyor belt with a damp cloth to remove dust and stains and keep it clean.
Gently scrub the belt with a professional leather cleaner, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the leather surface.
Suitable storage conditions:
The conveyor belt should be kept clean during transportation and storage, avoiding direct sunlight or exposure to rain and snow.
The warehouse temperature should be maintained between 18-40 ℃ and the relative humidity should be maintained between 50-80% during storage.
The conveyor belt must be placed in rolls and cannot be folded. During the placement period, it should be flipped once every season.
Regular inspection and maintenance:
Avoid covering the rollers with materials, pay attention to lubricating the moving parts, but do not oil the conveyor belt.
Regularly check the tension of the belt, as being too loose or too tight can affect its lifespan and efficiency.
Keep the belt conveyor clean and dry, clean it thoroughly after daily use, and maintain good ventilation.
For chain plate conveyor lines using chain transmission, it is necessary to regularly check and adjust the tension of the chain.
Through the above maintenance measures, the service life of the conveyor belt can be effectively extended, its operating efficiency can be improved, and the possibility of faults can be reduced. ‌
