Talking about the Reasons for the Damage of the Conveyor Belt

Currently, the quality of corrugated rib conveyor belts produced in China is inconsistent, and the base belts often fail to meet the required lateral rigidity. The adhesion between the skirts, separators, and base belts is also not satisfactory. Additionally, many manufacturers do not perform proper maintenance, and equipment operators are often unaware of the correct usage and care, leading to further issues. As a result, the quality of rib conveyor belts tends to be worse compared to standard belts. The production process of rib conveyor belts involves multiple critical steps, from the manufacturing of the base belt to the final assembly. Each stage must be carefully executed, as any mistake at any point can compromise the overall performance and durability of the product. Main production steps include: 1. Base belt: Manufacturing, jointing, attaching skirts, and separators 2. Skirts: Production and attachment of the skirt base 3. Separators: Manufacturing and attachment of the separator base 4. Secondary vulcanization: Gluing, molding, and curing of the skirts, separators, and base strips 5. Maintenance: Inspection and quality checks 6. Storage: Proper storage of qualified products The secondary vulcanization process is particularly complex, involving precise application of adhesive, careful mold handling, and skilled labor. Even minor errors during this phase can lead to long-term failures in the field. Common vulnerable parts of corrugated conveyor belts include: 1. **Base belt** - Edge delamination: Caused by belt misalignment, friction from vertical guide rollers, or poor quality - Non-working surface scratches: May occur during production, transportation, installation, or use 2. **Skirt** - Skirt tearing: Often due to friction from the back roller, lack of double idlers, or small drum diameter - Skirt base debonding: Can result from wear during use, small drum diameter, or manufacturing defects 3. **Separator** - Separator detachment: Usually caused by friction under the return section, absence of double idlers, or poor quality - Separator breakage: May occur due to tearing from idler rolls on the return path, especially when there’s no double idler In summary, both during production and use, proper manufacturing techniques, maintenance practices, and user awareness are essential for ensuring the quality and longevity of rib conveyor belts. Quality is not solely the responsibility of the manufacturer or the user—it’s a shared effort that requires attention at every stage. By working together, we can improve the reliability and performance of these critical industrial components.
