A loud conveyor belt usually refers to the noise generated during operation, often due to friction or abnormal sounds. The main reasons include:
High friction between the belt and support plates or rollers – excessive friction can create noticeable noise during operation.
Insufficient belt tension – a loose belt can slap against rollers or support plates, causing loud sounds.
Most abnormal conveyor belt noises are caused by interactions with other components. Paying attention to proper belt operation not only reduces noise but also helps extend the service life of your conveyor belt.
