The belt conveyor is most expensive component and thus determines the size of the investment and the economics of the entire system. Proper installation, vulcanization and preventive maintenance will help to provide the expected capacity and service life of the belt. The longer the belt lasts without any unscheduled downtime, the more profitable the system. Application of maintenance strategies discussed will save huge amount by minimizing the spillage and optimizing the use of materials- belt, rollers, and structures etc., manpower engaged in re-handling the spilled material and optimized operations by using the designed capacity of the conveyors which is intended purpose of any industry. Minimizing the spillage is the key to increase production and productivity to meet the global competitiveness.
