Solutions to slippage of stainless steel mesh belts in conveyors

Thread Content

As is well known, a stainless steel mesh belt is a machine that uses static friction to drive the continuous transport of materials through friction. By applying it, a material transfer process can be established for materials along a certain conveyor line, from the initial feeding point to the final unloading point. It can be used for transporting both bulk materials and individual items. In addition to simply transporting materials, it can also be adapted to meet the requirements of the technological processes in the production workflows of various industrial enterprises, thereby creating a rhythmic flow-line transportation system. The material of the conveyor belts used in different environments also varies, such as carbon steel, galvanized wire, spring steel, etc. The choice of material is determined by the differences in the application environment. Slipping of stainless steel mesh belts and solutions: 1. The initial tension is too low. Insufficient tension of the stainless steel mesh belt at the point where it leaves the drum causes the belt to slip. This situation usually occurs during startup, and the solution is to adjust the tensioning device to increase the initial tension. 2. Slipping occurs due to insufficient friction between the drive drum and the stainless steel mesh belt. The main reason for this is usually water on the stainless steel mesh belt or a humid environment. The solution is to add some rosin powder to the drum. However, be careful not to add it by hand; instead, use a blower device to introduce it, in order to avoid accidents. 3. Too many cases of damage to the tail roller bearings, resulting in failure to rotate, or damage to the upper and lower idler roller bearings, also leading to failure to rotate. The cause of the damage was excessive sag of the tail float; failed maintenance and replacement of the damaged or stiff components led to increased resistance, resulting in slipping. 4. Too fast startup speed of the stainless steel mesh belt can also cause slipping. It can now be started slowly. If a squirrel-cage motor is used, starting it after two short starts can also effectively overcome slipping. 5. If the load on the stainless steel mesh belt is too high, exceeding its electrical capacity, it will also slip. The advantage of slipping at this time is that it provides protection for the electricity. Otherwise, the electricity will be damaged over time. But for operation, it is a slipping accident. To overcome slippage of stainless steel mesh belts, it is first necessary to identify the cause of the slippage in order to take effective corrective measures.
