Food conveyor belt most common problems and solutions

With the development of food processing industry, food conveyor belt has become an indispensable part, used to transfer food on the production line, in order to achieve high efficiency production purposes. However, in the process of use, there will be some problems that affect its normal operation and production efficiency. The following are the five most common problems of food conveyor belt, and the solutions.

1. Food conveyor belt leakage problem

Problem cause and solution:

During the delivery of food, it is easy to leak material, which may be due to defects in the conveyor belt or food stuck to the conveyor belt and not transferred. Therefore, it is necessary to check the conveyor belt frequently in use. If the leakage is found, the conveyor belt should be cleaned immediately to eliminate the leakage situation in time to avoid subsequent trouble.

2. Wear and tear of food conveyor belt

Cause of the problem and solution:

Due to the wear and tear of the food conveyor belt itself or the damage caused by conveying hard materials on it, thus affecting the efficiency of conveying. The way to solve this problem is to choose different hardness conveyor belt according to different materials. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the rational use of conveyor belt and regular inspection, cleaning and other maintenance work in the production process.

3. Excessive noise of food conveyor belt

Cause of the problem and solution:

Because of the sound produced by the friction between the conveyor machinery and the conveyor belt, it is easy to have adverse effects on the surrounding environment. In order to solve such problems, the mechanical part can be maintained, adjusted and oiled, the selection of suitable materials to reduce the sound, or the use of soundproof materials or soundproof enclosures for treatment.

4. Deformation of food conveyor belt

Cause of the problem and solution:

Due to overuse or collision and other factors, the conveyor belt is prone to deformation and V-shaped depression, which affects its service life. At this time, the new conveyor belt should be replaced in time, and the normal maintenance and reasonable use.

5. The problem of food conveyor belt slot

Problem cause and solution:

A problem in which food cannot be transported normally due to food clogging up the slots on the surface of the food conveyor. The solution to this problem is to increase the depth of the card slot in the design, reduce the number of card slots, and regularly clean the conveyor belt. In addition, the use of self-cleaning conveyor belt, the conveyor belt idling, so that the card slot will be cleaned, so as to avoid affecting the normal transportation of food.

In short, there will be some problems in the use of food conveyor belt. Some problems can be solved through maintenance, adjustment or improvement of technology. In the process of use, we need to always pay attention to the operation of the food conveyor belt and solve problems in time, so that it is always in good condition to ensure food safety and efficient production.
