Common belt deviation measures for belt conveyors:

As a kind of material conveying equipment with low investment, easy maintenance, and strong environmental adaptability, return roller belt conveyor plays an important role in underground ore mining. Belt runout is a common problem in the operation of belt conveyors. If the conveyor belt runs off, the edge of the belt will be torn and damaged, coal will be scattered, and fire will be caused by excessive friction in serious cases.
The following is a detailed description of the causes of belt runouts, some methods to prevent belt runouts, and how to use runout monitoring devices to monitor belt runouts.

Belt-side travel monitor and switch

What are the causes of belt run out?
Belt-side travel can occur at any position on the conveyor belt during operation. The following are the main causes of belt runout.
1. the centerline of the carrier roller and the conveyor belt are not perpendicular.
2、The pulley is not perpendicular to the center line of the conveyor belt.
3、Uneven force on the conveyor belt.
4、Loading is caused by runout on one side.
5, coal powder and other conveying materials stuck in the pulley part.
6、The quality of the conveyor belt is not qualified, such as the uneven force on the wire rope core, etc.

Conveyor belt using trough roller set to prevent runout

How to prevent the conveyor belt from running off
The reasonable design of the conveyor system can effectively reduce the probability of the conveyor belt running sideways. Here are some measures to prevent the conveyor belt from running sideways.

1、Adopting conveyor roller compactor.
2、Trough roller set with 2°-3° forward tilt of the rollers on both sides.
3、Conveyor is equipped with a self-adjusting roller set with a self-adjusting function.
4、Mobile conveyors and hanging conveyors adopt inclined rollers from GCS idler suppliers.
5、Improve the assembly quality of the conveyor, the belt vulcanization joint is even, the rollers and pulleys are perpendicular to the longitudinal shaft of the conveyor, etc.
