What are the most common causes of conveyor belt failure?

The most common issues include:

• Misalignment or poor tracking

• Overloading or impact damage

• Poor joint strength or splice failure

• Carryback and material build-up

• Abrasion or chemical degradation

• Roller seizures and roller damage

Smiley Monroe addresses these challenges with solutions like GlideTracker™ Rollers to maintain alignment, Impact Bars for shock absorption, and PU Belt Cleaners to reduce carryback. Smiley Monroe Polymer Rollers are designed to reduce material build up and are resistant to rust and moisture, the common causes of roller damage and seizures, which in turn cause premature wear to the belt's top cover. Our belts are built for longevity, safety, and minimal downtime.
