As the core equipment of modern factories and production lines, transportadores de correia play an irreplaceable role in improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. However, common faults such as belt deviation, material leakage, and fire not only affect production efficiency, but may also cause serious safety accidents. This article will analyze in detail the causes of these faults and provide practical and feasible preventive measures.
Análise de falhas comuns
1. Belt deviation problem
As the most typical fault phenomenon, its solution needs to be targeted:
- Adjustment of Bearing Roller Group: For the deviation in the middle, the position can be adjusted using the waist shaped hole of the roller bracket
- Application of self-adjusting roller set: Automatic correction is achieved by generating lateral thrust, suitable for short distance or bidirectional conveyors, but caution should be taken when using long-distance conveyors to avoid affecting their lifespan
- Calibration of transmission rollers: Ensure that all rollers are perpendicular to the centerline of the conveyor. In case of deviation, adjust the position of the bearing seat according to the principle of “tight running, not loose running”
- Tensioning device inspection: Ensure that the axis of the tensioning drum is perpendicular to the belt, and the spiral/hydraulic tensioning needs to ensure that the bearing seats on both sides move synchronously
- Optimization of material drop point: Material impact is an important factor, and it is necessary to adjust the relative height and angle of the upper and lower conveyors
- Bidirectional operation adjustment: Two operating directions need to be debugged separately, with a focus on adjusting the transmission and reversing drum
2. Material leakage phenomenon
This mainly occurs in the following stages:
- Reproduction point: Damage or overload of the rubber skirt plate in the guide groove is the main cause, and it is necessary to strengthen inspection and maintenance
- Hanging material in concave section: Due to the small curvature radius of the transition section, the concave section radius should be increased during design
- Deviation causes scattering: timely correction can effectively solve the problem of edge scattering
3. Traceability of safety accidents
Causes of fire accidents
Characterized by suddenness and rapid spread:
- Slippery heating: Insufficient tension, overload, or decreased friction coefficient can all cause high temperature fires
- Electrical faults: short circuits, equipment explosions, and other electrical issues
Causes of deviation accidents
O desalinhamento da correia pode reduzir o tempo de vida útil do transportador e conduzir a períodos de inatividade e a problemas de segurança. As principais causas são:
- Mechanical failure: hydraulic cylinder failure, roller jamming, etc
- Installation defect: initial positioning deviation
- Maintenance deficiency: Accumulated material not cleared in a timely manner

Systematic prevention plan
Special fire prevention measures
- Choose flame-retardant conveyor belt
- Establish a specialized inspection system for electrical equipment
- Strictly implement on-site 5S management
- Configure temperature monitoring and smoke alarm interlock system
Anti deviation management system
- Preferred brand equipment with high processing accuracy
- Prepare installation operation manual
- Implement the system of “pre shift inspection and post shift cleaning”
Anti tear solution
- Establish a funnel liner wear warning mechanism
- Develop a real-time monitoring system for deviation
- Install a longitudinal tear detection device
