Misalignment: This is the most frequent problem. The conveyor belt drifts to one side during operation.
Causes: Manure buildup on drum surfaces, uneven tensioning device adjustment, worn idler rollers, etc.
Solutions: Regularly clean drums and idler rollers; adjust tensioning device; install automatic alignment correction device.
Slippage: The drive drum rotates, but the belt does not move or moves slowly.
Causes: Insufficient tension, excessive moisture on the belt or drum surface, or overload (e.g., excessively thick manure or foreign objects stuck).
Solutions: Increase tension; clean the drum surface; inspect and remove foreign objects.
Tears or Damage:
Causes: Entanglement with sharp foreign objects (e.g., wire, broken bones); prolonged wear; material aging.
Solutions: Promptly repair or replace damaged sections; conduct routine inspections to prevent foreign object ingress.
