#3 Conveyor Belt Tracking Guide BASIC RULES I. The basic, and primary rule of tracking a conveyor belt is simply "THE BELT MOVES TOWARD THAT END OF THE ROLL IT CONTACTS FIRST." II. The conveyor structure must be "TRUE" (relative to center-line) and LEVEL (side to side).
tracking is completed, run the belt with a full load and re-check tracking. VII. TRACKING ADJUSTMENT is done while the belt is running and should be spread over some length of the conveyor preceding the region of trouble. Permit the belt to run for several minutes and at least three full belt revolutions after idler has been adjusted to ...
when determining belt tracking concerns. The conveyor belt tracks off, more commonly, on the return side of the belt, causing a wide array of problems: rubbing and tearing the conveyor belt edges on the conveyor structure; return idler brackets; and spillage throughout the load-zone because the conveyor belt is off to one side or the other.
CONVEYOR BELT TENSION & TRACKING Description: To drive the conveyor belt without slippage and to track it in a proper way, a certain belt tension is necessary. The tension applied has to be such that there is no slippage on the driving drum when the belt is started at full load.
keeping the belt aligned and centred on the conveyor system. One of the most common methods of assisting to correct belt tracking is a pivot belt tracking frame, which can be seen in figure 1. These frames use the standard conveyor rollers with the addition of a horizontal centre pivot and side guard rollers to steer the belt back towards the ...

belt should also be protected from contact with chemicals, grease or oil. Premature ageing, cracking, hardening or swelling would affect the service life of the conveyor belt (cf. DIN standard 7716, May 1982- Rubber products: Requirements for storage, cleaning and maintenance).
B. Belt is coming in contact with the conveyor frame and or hardware. Make sure belt is tracking properly. Make sure there is proper clearance between belt and any hardware. Make sure load is centred on belt. Clear any jammed material. Install training idlers on carry and return side of belt.
Generally conveyor belts are supplied with electrical resistance in the anti-static range and should not be used for electrical insulation. Special non-conductive grades are available on request. There are four separate tables: Belts for Mining, Quarrying and General Service

V-Guided Belt Tracking White Paper Dorner Belt tracking issues are some of the fastest ways to shut down a conveyor system. If a belt isn’t tracking properly, it will run along the edge of the conveyor frame and start becoming frayed, leading to premature belt failure. And, if you don’t have a spare belt on hand, your line could be shut down

Most often the main source of mis-tracking is a result of product or basic materials built up on the bottom side of the conveyor belt or pulleys. Often this pending result can create a crown or raised portion on the pulley which can result in the conveyor belt mis-tracking to one side or the other.
