Conveyor Belt Tracking Solutions for Material Handling Systems

What is Conveyor Belt Tracking?

Conveyor belt tracking is a collection of technical solutions aimed at keeping the belt running true on the roller system, preventing lateral misalignment or sliding off the track. Uncontrolled belt mistracking can lead to:

• Wear on the belt and rollers
• Damage to the conveyor frame
• Reduced operational efficiency
• Increased maintenance costs and downtime

Causes of Conveyor Belt Mistracking

Some common causes of belt mistracking include:

• Misalignment between rollers (non-coaxial installation)
• Uneven loading on the belt
• Belt surface warping or local stretching
• Worn or seized rollers
• Unbalanced pulling force from the motor

Conveyor Belt Tracking Solutions

1.Using Self-aligning Idlers

Self-aligning idlers have the ability to pivot slightly to steer the belt back to the center position. Some typical product lines feature:

• Smart mechanical design, requiring no electricity or sensors.
• Stable operation on both the carrying side and the return side.
• Compatible with reversing and high-speed conveyors.
• Can be installed in various positions to control belt tracking.
• This product uses a central pivot mechanism to generate a correcting force, helping the belt self-balance without manual intervention.

2.Adjusting the Support Frame System

• Ensure the support frame is installed accurately, perpendicular to the running direction.
• Check the uniformity of rollers and the spacing between brackets.
• Use adjustable frames to create centripetal force (tracking force).

3.Load Control and Material Distribution

• Ensure material is fed evenly onto the conveyor belt.
• Avoid off-center loading causing imbalance.
• Use feed chutes designed to direct the material flow.

Benefits of Applying Conveyor Belt Tracking Solutions

• ⏱️ Reduce downtime caused by incidents.
• 💰 Save costs on maintenance and belt replacement.
• ⚙️ Increase the lifespan of the conveyor system.
• 📈 Improve operational efficiency and safety.

By accurately tracking the conveyor belts, keeping material in the stream, and eliminating fugitive dust. Our belt alignment products provide continuous, immediate precision adjustment to keep the belt running true, even when withstanding stresses from wider, thicker belts carrying heavier loads at high speeds.

Our conveyor tracking products prevent belt edge damage, extend belt life, reduce spillage, and minimize equipment wear. Additionally, we manufacture trackers that can sense the direction of belt motion and make necessary adjustments to keep reversing conveyors running in the correct position.
