Inspection. Perform a visual inspection of the belts and of each pulley and its grooves. Look for and feel for cracks chips or excessive groove wear. Proper contact between the belts and the pulleys must be ensured. Worn belts or pulleys and other components should be replaced before proceeding with pulley alignment.
Avoiding Belt Conveyor Pulley Damage. In a conveyor system where stability is a key to the control of fugitive material any damage to the belt or pulley can adversely affect the system s performance. By eliminating possible sources of damages to the conveyor the entire system is improved and the risks of dust and spillage are drastically
New alignment market Just like conveyor belts the origins and history of power transmission belts are lost in the mists of time. While we believe that the Babylonians and Assyrians used chains and cups for waterdrawing machines the earliest mention of a mechanical belt drive with a pulley machine is in a Chinese text from 15 BCE.
• The alignment of head and tail pulleys to ensure they are square and parallel. • The condition of the head pulley lagging which may be worn or lifting. To drive a conveyor belt without slippage and to track it in a proper way a certain belt tension is necessary. The tension applied has to be such that there is no slippage on the
Belt alignment tools. We have a complete range of professional tools for belt transmission alignment. Choose between "visual" display on targets or digital display. Regardless which one you choose the result is reduced pulley belt bearing and seal wear. Vibration levels are also reduced. Increased efficiency also means lower energy costs.
Conveyor belts often run to one side or the other due to conditions such as off center loading conveyor structure alignment issues conveyor component alignment problems weather conditions or a variety of other factors. Loose pieces of wire or rope used to tie off training idlers in the vicinity of the moving belt are safety hazards.
Common Causes of Conveyor Belt Tracking Issues. Pulleys belts or rollers contain material buildup. Unlevel foundation. Damaged idler frames. Improper belt storage which results in warping or bowing. Excessive tensioning of the belt. Pulleys out of alignment with the conveyor center line. Selfaligning idlers installed incorrectly or need to
With conveyor aspect ratio (conveyor length to belt width) in excess of about 5 to 1 and in installations with reversing operations it is advisable to crown both head pulley and tail pulley. Following this method a correctly aligned belt can be maintained in its central position as long as there is no excessive deflection of the pulleys.

The conveyor belt is widely considered to be the most cost intensive component on the conveyor belt system over the equipment life and given mistracking damage can be fatal to the belt maintaining sufficient alignment should be a high priority. Site conditions change so even the best laid out plans ruin the best of intentions in seeking
Belt conveyor maintenance 101. There are some things that you need to know when it comes to belt conveyor maintenance. "Belt conveyors have been commonly used and widely employed to transfer and handle solids bulk materials and generally many forms of raw semiproducts and final products in various types of plants and facilities. "The
Drum Pulleys. Dodge heavyduty and mineduty extra (MDX) drum pulleys deliver high performance and are available when you need them. Available from stock in many common sizes or custommade Dodge heavyduty drum pulleys meet or exceed CEMA application standards for use with conveyor belts rated up to 750 PIW (Pounds per Inch of Belt Width) by 131 kN/m.
Conveyor Belt Misalignment Switch. Conveyor safety accessories designed to alarm and/or shut down conveyor systems in the event of a conveyor belt heavy duty rugged design makes them suitable for most industrial applications. The purpose of the product to reduce time loss maintenance costs ensure safety and reduce costs.
4B s line of sensors and switches for detecting alignment and motion for bucket elevators belt and drag chain conveyors or screw conveyors. The Touchswitch is an electromechanical limit switch with no moving parts which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over
Belt cleaner or scrapper The main function of the conveyor belt is to carry material and during this process the material sticks to the belt for which belt scrappers are used to clean the belt. It avoids the material build up in snub pulley and return idler. There are three types of scrappers Primary scrapper.
Touchswitch™Belt and Pulley Misalignment Sensor. The Touchswitch™ is an electronic limit switch. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor the built in solidstate electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or pulley and activates a voltage free relay contact.
Pulley Lagging Earlystage Preparations. 1) Measuring temperature. 2) Measure the humidity. 3) Check the Dew point value. 4) Check the space for the roller working. 5) Fixed the roller types and specification. 6) Fixed the distance and the hoisting ways. 7) Confirm power supply for tools.
Monolithic conveyor belts are generally short less than 10 metres in length. The value of the initial laying tension is expressed in and this value is generally between and 5 . Shore hardness from 65 to 85 shore A. (Max. length = 3000 mm) Width 10 to 100 mm. Width 100 to 399 mm.
Reliability Concepts LLC Belt Alignment Tool sales. Double laser alignments for Vbelts timing belts flat belts and more. Conveyor belt tracking What Comes With the Alignment Tool System you have to swap the targets and aim the laser at opposite pulleys measure and move again and then repeat the
Any more tension must be prevented because it could rupture the belt seam. Remove the right bearing to the exterior to make the head roller advance in a position that will tighten the belt. Put the left one in to move the head roller in a position that will slacken the belt. Make an adjustment and then look at the belt.
Causes of Misalignment due to conveyor problems. Pulleys may not be mounted level and square to the centre line of conveyor causing the belt to run off on the slack side. Idlers may not be properly aligned. The belt may not be loaded centrally. If the material loaded on the belt is offcenter then this will make the belt run off to the empty side.
Conveyor Belt Standard Tolerance Charts. Accurate Industrial operates according to the internal standard which generally define tighter tolerances than EN ISO 15147. Customer specific tolerances may be specified in the order though there are limits due to the nature of synthetic material and the processes involved.
Martin Engineering s belt alignment products provide immediate continuous precision adjustment that keeps conveyor belts perfectly tracked even withstanding the stress caused by wider thicker belts carrying heavier loads at high speeds.
