What is the reason for conveyor belt slippage?
Sometimes we encounter the situation of conveyor belt slipping at work, which not only affects production efficiency, but also may cause certain damage to the equipment.
To analyze this phenomenon in depth, we must first make it clear that when the normal operating belt speed of the conveyor belt is lower than 35% of the roller speed, slipping may occur. The core reason behind this is the insufficient friction between the roller and the conveyor belt. So, why does this lack of friction occur?
In fact, many factors may cause the friction between the roller and the conveyor belt to decrease. For example, if the tension of the conveyor belt is not enough, it cannot fit the roller tightly, which naturally affects the friction. For example, if the load starts too fast or too large, it may also cause the conveyor belt to slip instantly. In addition, the insufficient friction coefficient of the roller surface is also a common reason.
In summary, to solve the problem of conveyor belt slipping, we need to start from multiple aspects to ensure that the friction between the conveyor belt and the roller is sufficient, so as to ensure the stable operation of the production line.
