Belt conveyor
tuning. A belt conveyor is a moving surface used to transport
product from one end to the other. In its basic form it consists
of a driving head pulley, a tail pulley, the moving belt, support
rollers, cleaning devices, tensioning mechanisms and a structural
frame. Though simple in concept its many components need to
work together as a system to get the best performance and operating
life. Critical to that is an understanding of how to care for
a belt conveyor and tune it for successful operation.

“Wear
and tear” is an expression frequently used to describe
the ageing of a mechanical system, though “use and abuse”
might be more correct. Wear commonly occurs as a result of the
contamination and degradation of the lubricant. The wear rate
can be reduced quite dramatically as a result of some basic
measures to protect the gearbox from the wear, tear or abuse
it generally receives.
