-An important step in preventing material losses on conveyor belts is correcting the guidance of the conveyor belt. To achieve this, varicus belt positioning systems are offered on the market. Through the use of sensors, these detect misalignment of the belt and cor rect its directional precision. This also re duces or prevents damage to the edges of the conveyor belts. With these position ing systems, operators not only achieve substantial reductions in terms of material losses, they also reduce their maintenance costs.
-Does the belt always migrate towards the same side, or does it move from one side to the other? Is this misaligned travel constant feature, or lust an occasional occurrence? Does the belt get worn in a corrugated manner, anc is the belt tension low, moderate or high? Operators ask themselves questions like these in order to select the most appropriate belt position- ing system for their needs. A manufactur er such as Flexco assists them in this pro cess, and will offer appropriate solutions for different belt tensions and belt dimen sions that are easy to install
-For belts that only migrate to one side the Flexco belt positioner offers a simple and adaptable system that is easy to install and maintain. The fixed, angled rollers al ways hold the belt straight. This system is only installed in the subspace. It is suit- able for belts with a maximum tension of 210 N/mm and belt widths of 450 to 2400 mm
