What is the hazard if the rubber cover is too thin due to long-term use of EP conveyor belt

1. The thinning of the EP conveyor belt will reduce the quality of the splicing.

After the EP conveyor belt is used for a long time, the thickness of the top and bottom rubber cover will become thinner to different degrees. When the conveyor belt is connected at both ends, the thickness of the splicing section will be different, which will cause the convex part of the splicing during the operation of the conveyor belt and the conveyor idler is frequently scratched, which not only wears the conveyor idler, but also shortens the service life of the splicing section. After the EP conveyor belt is damaged to a certain degree, especially the depth of the covering fabric carcass and the strong carcass at the splicing, it directly affects the overall tensile strength of the EP conveyor belt and reduces its tensile strength. When the conveyor belt is started or stopped suddenly under load, the EP conveyor belt is prone to breakage accidents.

2. The thinning of the EP conveyor belt cover will increase operating costs.

For example, long-term wear will make the rubber cover of the EP conveyor belt thinner and even expose the carcass layer to harsh natural environments, such as exposure to the sun, sand and dust, rain soaking, high temperature, acid-base environment, etc., and the carcass that loses the protection of the rubber cover becomes more fragile, it will drastically reduce the service life, cause the EP conveyor belt to be damaged prematurely, reduce the working cycle of the EP conveyor belt, and increase the transportation cost of the conveyor line. When the thickness of the covering layer on both sides of the center line of the EP conveyor belt is not the same, the stretching rate of both sides of the conveyor belt is often changed, which directly causes the EP conveyor belt to deviate during operation. If the correction and adjustment are not in place, on the contrary It will aggravate the wear of the conveyor belt and indirectly increase the cost of operation and maintenance of the enterprise.

3. EP conveyor belt damage will reduce its service life

The rubber cover of the EP conveyor belt becomes thinner, peels off, peels off and even reveals the carcass layer, causing excessive damage to the EP conveyor belt. In addition, the uneven wear level on both sides of the EP conveyor belt’s centerline causes the partial tensile strength of the EP conveyor belt to decrease, which in turn affects the stability of the overall conveyor belt, will cause uneven distribution of transported materials, and long-term use will cause conveyor rollers , conveyor pulleys and even the conveying motor is too high, which affects the overall stable operation of the conveying line.

Therefore, during the use of EP conveyor belts, we must perform regular maintenance and inspections, find the damaged parts of the EP conveyor belt in time, and repair them in time. If the thickness of the conveyor belt is found to be excessively worn, it should be adjusted or replaced in time to avoid affecting the transportation. The normal operation of the belt and the operation of the enterprise
