Problem: Belt becomes curved or uneven.

Solution: Allow the belt to properly run-in or break-in over time.

Problem: Belt joint is weak or incorrectly fixed.

Solution: Inspect the splice, remove if faulty, and reattach using correct fasteners. Tighten after short operation.

Problem: Belt becomes uneven or longer on one side.

Solution: Cut out damaged section and re-splice. Replace if necessary.

Problem: Belt not properly supported at transition points.

Solution: Adjust transition distance or correct conveyor curve design.

Problem: Belt deteriorates due to environmental exposure.

Solution: Use belts specifically designed for those conditions.

Problem: Belt weakens due to exposure.

Solution: Install protective covers over the conveyor.

Problem: Load is not evenly spread across belt.

Solution: Adjust loading system and monitor operation closely.

Problem: Large spacing between rollers causes belt sagging.

Solution: Reduce spacing to recommended levels.

Problem: Heavy material damages belt surface.

Solution: Use impact idlers, proper chutes, and load fines first.

Problem: Belt is over-tightened.

Solution: Recalculate and adjust tension properly.

Problem: Rollers or pulleys are not aligned.

Solution: Align them properly with conveyor centerline.

Problem: Rollers are stuck or not moving.

Solution: Replace faulty idlers.

Problem: Belt lacks proper support.

Solution: Add more idlers at correct spacing.

Problem: Material fed incorrectly onto belt.

Solution: Feed material in belt direction and control flow using feeders/chutes.

Problem: Belt slips on pulley.

Solution: Increase wrap angle, use lagging, and check tension.

Problem: Dirt accumulates and affects movement.

Solution: Clean regularly and install scrapers/cleaners.

Problem: Belt either slips or is overstressed.

Solution: Adjust take-up system properly.

Problem: Belt slips during operation.

Solution: Increase tension or use lagged pulleys.
