The scrap standards for conveyor belts mainly include the following aspects:
Physical damage: The conveyor belt experiences severe wear, tear, or breakage, rendering it unusable. ‌
Aging: After prolonged use, conveyor belts may experience hardening, cracking, and other phenomena, leading to a decrease in performance.
Technical performance decline: The tensile strength, wear resistance, and other performance indicators of the conveyor belt decrease and cannot meet the requirements for use.
Poor environmental adaptability: The use of conveyor belts in harsh environments, such as high temperatures, humidity, etc., can lead to serious performance degradation. ‌
Scrap standards for different types of conveyor belts:
Steel cord conveyor belt: According to the "Technical Specification for Scrap Detection of In Use Steel cord Conveyor Belts", if serious wear, breakage, or aging is found after testing, the steel cord conveyor belt should be scrapped. ‌
Belt scale: If there are component failures, high costs, or unsuitable environments during the use of the belt scale, it should be scrapped. ‌ Roller: When the roller is not running flexibly and affects the normal operation of the conveyor belt, it should be replaced. ‌
General purpose fabric core conveyor belt: According to GB/T 7984-2001 standard, when the tensile strength, wear resistance and other indicators of the conveyor belt decrease, it should be scrapped. ‌
Suggestions for maintenance and upkeep of conveyor belts:
Regular inspection: Conduct comprehensive inspections of the conveyor belt regularly to promptly identify and repair damaged areas. ‌
Cleaning and maintenance: Keep the conveyor belt clean to prevent material accumulation and corrosion.
Correct use: Avoid overloading and frequent starting to reduce damage to the conveyor belt.
Timely replacement: When damaged components are found, they should be replaced promptly to avoid affecting overall performance.
Through the above measures, the service life of the conveyor belt can be effectively extended and the frequency of scrapping and replacement can be reduced.
