Belt tracking is an important part of conveyor system maintenance as far as the smooth and efficient functioning of your line is concerned. It is that process where the conveyor belt runs in a straight line, that is without drifting to one side, which can cause it to wear out or even break the system.
A belt tracks well when it runs straight on the rollers and pulleys without any deviation. However, issues such as misalignment, improper tension, or faulty components can lead to tracking problems. Such issues cause the belt to veer off course, which increases the risk of damage to the system and
affects productivity.
Proper tracking is best achieved through regular maintenance. In fact, it contains adjustments to the pulleys, alignment of rollers, and proper tensioning of the belt. Routine inspections enable tracking issues to be identified in advance and corrected in time before they can cause significant downtime.
Proper
belt tracking not only prolongs the life of your conveyor system but also optimizes your operations by saving time and money. Be sure that your system is working at its best by paying attention to this simple yet important maintenance task.
