In the daily operation of the conveying system, the wear problem of the bulk material handling conveyor is a common and concerning challenge. Understanding the causes of these wears can help companies take effective measures to extend the service life of the bulk material handling conveyor and improve the overall efficiency of the bulk material handling conveyor. However, many people do not know the real cause of wear. Today, I will introduce to you the common causes of bulk material handling conveyor wear!
Material Impact And Friction：
When the wide belt conveyor is conveying materials, if the materials have high impact force or rough surface, it is easy to cause wear to the wide belt conveyor. Especially during material loading and unloading or conveying, the impact and friction of the materials will aggravate the surface wear of the belt.
Uneven Load：
If the wide belt conveyor is subjected to uneven load, it may cause uneven pressure on the belt during operation, which will cause local wear. Excessive or uneven loads will cause excessive wear and failure of the wide belt conveyor.
Improper Tension：
Improper belt tension (too tight or too loose) will cause excessive wear of the wide belt conveyor. An overly tight belt will increase friction and wear, while an overly loose belt may slip during the operation of the wide belt conveyor, increasing wear and damage.
Inaccurate Alignment Of The Bulk Handling Conveyor：
If the wide belt conveyor is not aligned during operation, it may cause the belt to deviate on the roller, resulting in uneven wear. This situation not only affects the conveying efficiency, but may also cause damage to other parts of the wide belt conveyor.
Environmental Factors:
The external environment also has a significant impact on the wear of the bulk handling conveyor. Factors such as humidity, temperature changes, and chemical exposure can cause the bulk handling conveyor material to age, embrittle, or corrode, thereby accelerating wear.
Inadequate Cleaning And Maintenance：
Irregular cleaning and maintenance can cause material residues to accumulate on the belt conveyors for bulk materials, increasing friction and causing wear. Regular inspection and cleaning of the conveyor belt to ensure that the belt conveyors for bulk materials operates in optimal conditions can help reduce wear problems.
