Operation and Maintenance of Conveyor Belts in Production Lines
Conveyor systems, with their simple structure, ease of operation, and strong transport capacity, are widely used across various industries. In industrial production, proper maintenance and care of conveyor belts can extend the service life of the system, thereby effectively reducing production costs.
I. With the widespread adoption of assembly lines in industrial production, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on several key aspects: product variety, high performance, lightweight design, multifunctionality, and long service life. When using conveyor belts on assembly lines, the following precautions should be observed:
1. Prevent idlers from being covered by material, which can cause sluggish rotation; ensure that no material leaks and gets jammed between the roller and the conveyor belt; pay attention to lubricating the moving parts of the conveyor belt, but do not allow oil or grease to contaminate the belt.
2. Prevent loaded startup of the production line;
3. If the conveyor belt deviates from its intended path, corrective measures shall be taken promptly.
4. When localized damage to the conveyor belt is detected, it shall be repaired promptly to prevent further deterioration.
5. Prevent the conveyor belt from being obstructed by the frame, supports, or lump materials to avoid damage such as punctures and tears.

II. In industrial production, reducing manufacturing costs is paramount; therefore, proper maintenance of conveyor belts is essential to effectively extend the service life of the production line.
1. During transportation and storage, the conveyor belt shall be kept clean, protected from direct sunlight and exposure to rain or snow, and prevented from coming into contact with acids, alkalis, oils, organic solvents, and other such substances. It shall also be kept at least one meter away from heat-generating equipment.
2. During storage, the warehouse temperature for conveyor belts should be maintained between -18°C and 40°C, and the relative humidity should be kept between 50% and 80%.
3. During storage, conveyor belts shall be stored in rolls and must not be folded; the belts should be turned over once each quarter.
4. Conveyor belts of different types, specifications, and ply configurations should not be spliced together; splicing must be performed using adhesive bonding.
5. The type, structure, specifications, and number of plies of the conveyor belt shall be selected appropriately based on the operating conditions.
6. The operating speed of conveyor belts should generally not exceed 2.5 m/s; for materials with large lump sizes and high abrasiveness, as well as when using discharge devices equipped with fixed deflectors, lower belt speeds are recommended whenever possible.
7. The material feed direction shall be aligned with the running direction of the conveyor belt. To minimize the impact of falling material on the belt, chutes should be used to reduce the drop height. In the belt’s receiving section, the idler spacing should be shortened and cushioned idlers should be employed to prevent material leakage. Additionally, flexible yet appropriately sized deflecting plates should be installed along the belt to avoid excessive rigidity that could scrape and damage the belt surface.
