If the Belt Malfunctions
 
 
If the belt is not properly aligned:
   
Test/Check: That the drive shaft and the blanket roller are adjusted correctly.
 
 
If the belt pulls to one side:
   
Test/Check: That the shaft is adjusted correctly; that the belt mounting stands squarely. That the belt is tightened to the same degree on both sides.
 
 
If the edges of the belt wear:
   
Test/Check: That the shaft is adjusted correctly; that the gap between the edges of the belt and the frame is wide enough when the operating temperature is at its highest. That the belt's supporting structure stands squarely. That the shafts are locked in place so that they can't move from side to side (if necessary, use retainer rings).
 
 
If the belt jumps a notch on the sprockets:
   
Test/Check: That the sag on the returning belt is adjusted so that it engages the sprockets correctly (tighten as little as possible). That the products/material do not collect on the return track.
 
 
If the belt is subject to severe wear and tear:
   
Test/Check: That it is not being operated with excessive amounts of, gravel, sand or similar products. That the belt is operating with a uniformly distributed load. That the belt is supported correctly. That the belt is not run at excessive speeds. That the correct wearstrips are being used. That the beltīs supporting structure is level.
 
 
If the sprockets are subject to severe wear and tear:
   
Test/Check: That the shafts are not twisted or bent, and that they are correctly adjusted. That the sprockets have been fitted correctly and that there are enough. That the belt is not being run too quickly or too tightly. That the belt is not being operated with excessive amount of gravel, sand or similar products.
 
 
If the rods are subject to severe wear and tear:
   
Test/Check: That the belt is not being operated with excessive amounts of gravel, sand or similar products. That the belt is not being run too quickly. That the materials do not become congested on the belt.
 
 
If the rods work themselves loose from the belt:
   
Test/Check: That the gap between the belt edges and the frame is wide enough when the operating temperature is at its its highest. That the rods are fitted correctly and locked.
 
 
If the wearstrip are subject to severe wear and tear:
   
Test/Check: That the belt is being operated with the correct type of wearstrip. That the belt is not too tight.
 
 
If the edges of the flights become worn:
   
Test/Check: That there is enough space on the return track.
 
 
If the flights break:
   
Test/Check: That the flights do not hit against the frame. That blockages do not occur at the in-feed.
 
 
If the belt becomes discolored or is attacked by chemicals:
   
Test/Check: That correct cleaning procedures are followed. That white belts are not exposed to strong sunlight (they turn a yellowish colour - use the grey belts instead). That the operating temperature is not too high.
