 Operators Manual
Operator

(1) To prolong service life of a conveyor belt, it is required to turn on the

conveyor without loading. Materials on the belt shall be unloaded before

turning off a conveyor unless on an exceptive occasion. If several

conveyors are taking the responsibility of transportation, the unloading belt

shall be firstly turned on, then going forward, eventually the feeding belt.

Please note that the sequence of turning off is opposite to that of turning on.

(2) Tension imposed to belts shall not be higher than the requirement for no

skid between belt and idlers, and over-looseness at feeding point. Different

type and size of belts shall not be applied to one conveyor. Timely repairing

to defect parts of a belt is necessary to avoid extending the damages.

(3) To hoist a belt roll, a steel cable is forbidden to cross the roll core because it

would damage belt edges. Normally an iron shaft shall be put through the

core and then a reinforced nylon cord will be used to hoist the belt against

two ends of the shaft.

(4) Splicing is critical to belt performance so that the job shall be carried out by

professional technicians. If the central lines of two belt ends would not be

directed exactly, a derivation from track would happen to the belt during

operation.

(5) A total inspection to the belt is required before trial running. Items to be

checked includes whether there is a mess on the belt surface, appropriate

installation of scrapers, idlers functionality, etc

 Common Problems and Solve Measures

common problems: Early damage of the upper cover rubber on the conveyor belt

causes: 1.Material-proof plate is not properly installed.

2.Be stroken by the large sharp-angled material
2.
3.The feeding of the material is too quick or too high
3.

Solve measures
measures: 1.Check wether the material-proof plate is installed properly.
2.Improve the feeding condition to reduct the impact from the material

common problems: Early damage of the bottom cover rubber on the conveyor belt

causes: 1.Convey belt slide on the rotary pulley.

1.
2.The rotation of the upper pulley is not flexible.
2.
3.Pulley surface becomes agglomerate.
3.

Solve measures
measures: 1.Increase the friction parameter of the rotary pulley and tension of the

conveyor belt.
2.Improve the rotation condition of the pulley and lessen the oblique degree

of the pulley
3.Eliminate the adhesed materials.

2.The rotation of the frame pulley is flexible

common problems: Longitudinal tear of the conveyor belt

causes: 1.Other materials perforate the belt and are locked.

1.
2.Frame components become loose, screws fall from the plate and are

locked at the scrap plate.
3. Large materials adhesed on the belt.

Solve measures
measures: 1.check if there are any looseness of the frame component at any moment.

 Daily Maintenance of Conveyor Belt

1. Check according to the requirment before startuping the conveyor belt.

2. Running tension should not exceed the designed tension of the conveyor belt, and avoid

overload.

3.Adjust the sweeping equipment and scrap plate to avoid the damage of the conveyor belt.To

avoid oil or lip in materials adhesing on the conveyor belt, pulley or rollers.

4.Repair the damage of the conveyor belt on time.

5.Decrease the drop difference of the material as soon as possible.

6.Apply for rigging to install and unstall the rubber belt to avoid damaging the sides. No rough

operation allowable.

7.Cleaness is the basic condition for a good running of belt. Other materials can deflect the

runnig of the belt and enfluence the tension.

8.Avoid damaging the rubber belt if material-proof plate and sweeping equipment are installed

on the conveyor machine.

9.Avoid stopping ,startuping the conveyor belt when it is under heavy load except special

conditions.

 Storage Instructions

1. The belt must be rolled around plastic reel or steel reel, and the package must be

firm enough. On each packing, there must be quality certificate issued by

Quality Inspection Department.

2. During transportation and storage, belt should be kept clean, avoid direct sunlight,

rain and snow, prohibit from touching with acid, alkali,oil,plasticizer ,and keep

at least one meter away form the heat source.

3. During storage, the belt should be placed in roll, prohibit from collapse. Storage

temperature should be 10 ~ +40, relative humidity within 50%~80% is

suitable.

 Operation & Maintain Manual

1. During transportation and storage, forklift should be used, and avoid to damage

the belt during carry .

2. If there is no lifting equipment, the belt can also be rolled on flat ground.

3. During hoisting, please operate as picture 1, when textile cord with enough

strength is used , to operat as picture 2 is allowed ,but picture 3 is forbidden.

1 2 3

4. Textile sling must be used to lift the roll. Insure the textile sling go through the belts reel

center before lifting the belt, and the strength and length must be sufficient enough to

suppor the minimum load of 15 tons.

5. There must be some textile protection between conveyor belt and textile sling in order to

avoid the damage between each other.
