What are the common forms of damage to PVC conveyor belts?

Dec 22, 2025

1. Edge wear: Caused by friction between the belt and the frame due to misalignment, resulting in thinning of the edges and exposed fibers.

2. Longitudinal tear: Caused by scratches from sharp objects, damaged idlers, or snagging due to misalignment, forming a through-cut tear.

3. Cracking: Surface cracks caused by frequent bending or repeated vulcanization joints.

4. Damage to the cover rubber surface: Improper guide plate clearance, material impact, or scratches from the cleaner cause the rubber layer to peel off.

5. Joint tearing: Reduced strength at the joint due to poor vulcanization quality or an insufficiently small roller diameter.
