1、Insufficient initial tension. Insufficient tension where the stainless steel mesh belt leaves the roller causes slippage. This usually occurs during startup. The solution is to adjust the tensioning device to increase the initial tension.
2、Damaged tail roller bearings or too many damaged or non-rotating upper and lower idler roller bearings. The cause of the damage is often excessive dust and debris at the tail of the conveyor, and failure to promptly inspect and replace damaged or poorly rotating parts, leading to increased resistance and slippage.
3、Insufficient friction between the drive roller and the stainless steel mesh belt causes slippage. This is often due to water on the mesh belt or a humid environment. The solution is to add some rosin powder to the roller.
4、Excessive load on the stainless steel mesh belt, exceeding the motor’s capacity, can also cause slippage. In this case, the slippage has the beneficial effect of protecting the motor; otherwise, the motor would burn out over time. However, from an operational perspective, it is a slippage accident. To solve stainless steel mesh belt slippage, it is necessary to first identify the cause before taking effective corrective measures.
5、Starting too quickly can also cause slippage. In this case, a slower start is recommended.
