Daily maintenance is crucial for preserving the energy-saving performance, extending the service life, and ensuring the operational safety of LRR rubber conveyor belts.
Core Maintenance Tasks
Cleaning & Inspection: Clean accumulated material from the belt surface and the return side every shift to prevent foreign objects from embedding and causing wear or increased rolling resistance. Inspect the belt body for any cuts, cracks, ply separation (delamination), or abnormal wear.
Tension Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the belt tension to prevent slippage caused by being too loose, or increased running resistance caused by being too tight.
Pulley & Idler Maintenance: Ensure all pulleys and idlers rotate freely without seizing and that the bearings are well-lubricated. Note that LRR designs are highly sensitive to the condition of supporting components; any increase in resistance from these parts will offset the belt's energy-saving effects.
Splice Monitoring: Check splices for signs of bonding failure, edge lifting, or displacement. Abnormal splices can significantly impact operational smoothness and energy consumption.
Lubrication System Check: If the equipment is equipped with an automatic lubrication system, confirm that there is sufficient grease and that the pipelines are unobstructed to avoid localized overheating or wear due to insufficient lubrication.
