Service Questions with Dakota: The Tension with Conveyor Belt Maintenance

As we saw in 糖心Vlog Service Manager John鈥檚 recent Service Questions, a common area on rock crushing equipment that leads to constant questions is the conveyors. From conveyor belts not staying aligned to head pulley slippage, there are various items on the conveyors that require preventative maintenance and routine checks. Service Technician, Dakota, will run through the various questions that come from conveyor maintenance.

 

Conveyor Maintenance at a Glance

Common issues with conveyors involve the belt. For this Service Question, we will focus on the conveyor belt itself and not the motors or bearings involved in the pulleys. A common issue is the conveyor belt not staying centered. This can be caused by:

  • Uneven Loading
    • To fix this, you should adjust the loading to be more even by dumping from a chute to the center of the conveyor belt.
  • Worn or Misaligned Components (Pulleys, Idlers)
    • Check for worn or misaligned components by inspecting all pulleys and idlers to ensure they are free of any built-up material and ensure that the pulleys and idlers are properly aligned.
  • Incorrect Tension or a Crooked Belt Splice

 

听How often should conveyor belts be inspected or spliced?

Conveyor belts should be inspected daily to ensure the health and performance of the conveyor. You should be looking for various types of conveyor belt damage, such as cuts, frays, cracks, and wear. Make sure to clean off any debris buildup on the belt, pulleys, and rollers. Also, do a visual inspection to see if the conveyor belt is tracking straight and the splice is in good condition. Listen for unusual noises while in operation, such as grinding or squeaking, which could be misaligned or failing components.

 

How do I set proper belt tension?

Put marks on the nontensioned belt at exactly 1000 mm from the splice. The marking must be done on the left and right side of the conveyor belt. Tension the belt and let it turn a few times to equally divide the tension. Then, measure the elongation and adjust the belt tension if necessary. See your owner鈥檚 manual for the recommended elongation of the conveyor belts.

 

What is causing slippage at the head pulley?

To drive a conveyor belt without slippage, and to track it in a proper way, a certain tension of the conveyor belt is necessary. See your owner鈥檚 manual for the recommended tension.

Built up materials such as fines material will increase the friction between the conveyor belt and the head pulley, so it is very important to clean your conveyor properly. If slippage continues the belt could damage the lagging of the head pulley by rubbing it smooth, causing it to struggle to grip the conveyor belt.

An example of a head pulley that is missing half the lagging.

 

How can I reduce material buildup under the conveyor belt?

You can reduce the buildup under a conveyor belt by ensuring the belt flashing or skirting is in good condition and making good contact with the conveyor belt. The skirting is adjustable by clamp plates. To adjust the skirting to avoid gaps in the flashing, simply loosen the clamp plates and pull the skirting down. If you can no longer pull the skirting down, you need to order new belt skirting.

After you have made sure your belt skirting is adjusted properly, inspect your belt scrapers and ensure they are making good. If the belt scrapers are not making good contact, adjust the scraper toward the belt by loosening the tensioner retainer screw and put tension on the scraper. You can do that by using a wrench to build tension, then tightening the retainer screw back down.

 

Don鈥檛 Let the Tension Get to You 鈥 Reach Out!

As you already know, a simple-looking part in rock crushing equipment doesn鈥檛 always mean it鈥檚 immune to preventative maintenance. What is simple is knowing the resources available to you. Not only do you have your owner鈥檚 manual, but you have a network of authorized dealers, a team of 糖心Vlog parts experts, and 糖心Vlog Service Technicians ready to help keep your tension to a minimum.

Service Questions with John: Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions

It鈥檚 been a year since John stepped into the role of Service Manager. Throughout this time, he has established relationships with various authorized dealers and customers by answering their burning crusher questions. While answering these questions, he noticed several questions were recurring. To celebrate his first year as Service Manager, join John as he answers the top five frequently asked questions he鈥檚 received.

 

  1. Why is my clutch fusible plug leaking fluid?
    • Your impactor may be getting overloaded and therefore overheating the clutch. The plug has a solder compound in it so that if the fluid in the clutch gets too hot, the fluid will leak out. This is done to prevent overheating and the possibly of causing permanent damage to the clutch.
    • Another solution would be to learn the proper flow of material for your machine to avoid overloading your impactor. Overloading your impactor causes a variety of issues, so it鈥檚 important to start with good practice to avoid any unnecessary downtime.

An example of good material flow.

 

  1. Why isn鈥檛 my machine running evenly? Why are my conveyor belts wearing unevenly?
    • One of smallest differences that can cause significant issues in your machine is your machine not being level. If your machine is not level, it will cause material to shift and not run evenly through the plant. This can lead to belts leaking materials, flashings being worn out, wear plates and blow bars wearing unevenly and will affect the performance of the feeder and screen.

 

  1. Why is there a gap in the flashing?
    • Flashing is adjusted to the belts when the unit is built and tested in the factory. Once material is on the belts, they have weight added onto them, causing the belt to sag. That is why you see gaps between the belts and flashing. After your first couple of runs, the skirtboard clamps will need to be loosened, and the flashing adjusted accordingly.
  1. Why did my feeder shut off, and my code says low voltage? Is it because there鈥檚 too much material on my screen?
    • When it comes to the feeder shutting off, most of the time the drive belt just needs to be tightened or replaced. If the drive belt looks to be good, a worn-out drive sheave could also cause a low voltage code.
    • When it comes to the level of material on your screen and feed issues, it鈥檚 important to adjust the feeder belt speed to accommodate the screen. Once the machine is up and crushing, watch the material flow on the belts and screen. If there seems to be a small amount of material on the belts and the screen isn鈥檛 loaded, you can turn the feeder up to feed more material to the impactor. On the other hand, if the belts look overloaded and screen is backing up or getting material over the sides turn the feeder down to decrease the flow.

  1. Why does one blow bar have more material above the locking rod pocket when I pull them to flip?
    • If there is extra material in the pocket, it might have been from the wedge being loose. When replacing the blow bars, you need to tighten the wedge screws in each wedge. When flipping or replacing the blow bars, do not torque and insert set screw and glue at first. Once everything is properly set, and the lid is properly closed, turn on the crusher and let it get up to speed. Doing this allows the blow bars to 鈥渟eat鈥 or pull out as far as they can against the locking rod. If the bar moves when the impactor is started, you may hear a loud bang. That is the bar moving into place as the rotor gets up to speed. After it has been run at full speed for a little bit, follow the proper lock out / tag out procedures prior to opening the lid again. At this point, retighten the wedge bots and torque to the recommended setting.
    • As a side note, when you insert the set screws, you can insert a small amount of paper towel to help keep the hex in the cap screw from filling with glue.
    • For more information about flipping blow bars, check out this previous Service Question with James.

 

 

Knowing Who to Call

The last year of being in the service manager position has been an interesting year. John spent the previous 12 years as 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Assembly Supervisor, spent time as the assembly team leader, and helped build impactors and jaws for several years. Going from the various positions, he has had the opportunity to learn even more about the equipment 糖心Vlog builds. Throughout this past year, John has been able to go to jobsites with the service technicians to get some hands on in the field experience to accentuate this experience in the shop.

鈥淚n the areas I don鈥檛 excel in, on the service side, I have listened and have learned a lot in the last year and know that I still have a lot to learn. Working with our service technicians, I am also learning from them, and I am happy to join you in your journey to learning more about rock crusher maintenance.鈥

Looking back at the past year, it has been a year of learning not only for John as the new service manager, but for everyone following along on this 鈥Service Questions鈥 journey. It鈥檚 important to always stay curious and ask questions before servicing your machine instead of causing unnecessary downtime.

When you have questions or concerns about the operation of your machine, it鈥檚 important to know the resources available to you to find that answer. If you cannot find the answer you鈥檙e looking for in your owner鈥檚 manual, you can reach out to your local, authorized dealer or reach out to 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Service Team.

Service Questions with Louis: Abnormal Crusher Vibrations

In the world of construction, aggregates, and material recycling, equipment reliability is everything. When a machine goes down, production stops, deadlines slip, and costs rise.听It鈥檚听easy to assume every issue is major or expensive, but the truth is that many common heavy equipment problems have simple solutions if you know what to look for. Many times, if you catch and听address听issues when they are small, you can prevent them from becoming听major issues听that require extended down time. Understanding the difference between a major breakdown and a minor maintenance fix can save your team time, money, and unnecessary headaches. Today,听let鈥檚听learn with 糖心Vlog Service Technician, Louis, about the common causes and solutions to abnormal vibrations that come from your machines.

 

Common Causes of Abnormal Crusher Vibrations

  • Feeding Issues: Oversized materials and听uneven feeding can cause abnormal vibrations.
  • Improper Wear and Tear: Impactor Plates,听Jaw Dies, and Blow Bars in Impact Crushers, are going to wear, but uneven wear on the liners can cause abnormal vibrations. Additionally, bearings that are worn can overheat and create noise.
  • Loose Components:听After hours of usage,听bearings, shafts, fasteners, and more can become loose.
  • Misalignment: The imbalanced rotor can cause material buildup and uneven wear. Fluid couplings being misaligned can cause failure in the bearings, seals, and the coupling itself.

Common Solutions of Abnormal Crusher Vibrations

  • Feeding Issues: While the machines will react to the addition of feed materials,听it鈥檚听important to not add oversized materials and to evenly space out your feed loading.听You can reach out to the manufacturer, or the owner鈥檚 manual, for听recommendations on feed size and timing.听
  • Improper Wear and Tear:听Add regular inspections to your schedule. The faster you can catch improper wear and tear, the less down time you will have in replacing the wear plates.
  • Loose Components:听After completing your regular inspections, make听sure to tighten or replace听any听components.
  • Misalignment:听Clean any build up in the impactor or jaw crusher and replace wear parts in sets. An uneven replacement could cause more issues.
  • Lubrication:听During your regular inspection, make sure all items, such as hydraulic lines and bearings, are properly lubricated.

 

Preventative Maintenance is the Key

When equipment is听maintained听regularly, troubleshooting becomes faster and more听accurate. Routine inspections help catch the simple problems before they escalate into costly downtime. Proper lubrication,听timely听filter changes, and听a听regular system听check听all reduce the chance of a small issue turning into a major failure.

If听you鈥檙e听unsure what to include in your routine maintenance, check out the variety of places you have at your disposal:

  • Owner鈥檚 Manual
  • Authorized Dealer
  • Manufacturer

 

Learning from the Professionals

While many equipment issues are simple, some problems truly require a trained technician. If听you鈥檝e听worked through the basic checks and the machine is still malfunctioning, a deeper issue听may be at play. The key is to start with the easy fixes first before assuming the worst听because heavy equipment issues are inevitable, but they听aren鈥檛听always a sign of catastrophic failure.听

With a little knowledge, a keen eye, and a structured approach to troubleshooting, many problems can be resolved听by听you,听quickly and affordably. Understanding the difference between a major breakdown and a simple fix empowers your operators, minimizes downtime, and keeps your equipment working hard on the jobsite.

糖心Vlog Announces New Talon Line of Crushing Equipment

糖心Vlog will be unveiling its new Talon鈩 line of heavy-duty crushing and stockpiling equipment for recycling applications at CONEXPO-CON/AGG March 3-7 in Las Vegas at the 糖心Vlog Booth #C31414.

On display will be the new TalonTrax鈩 mobile crushing plant and the new TalonStack鈩 mobile stockpiling conveyor, along with the next generation UltraMax庐 1400-OC crushing and screening plant and a current-model, triple-deck 贰-笔濒补苍迟庐.

 

Introducing TalonTrax: Ultra-Mobile Power Meets Production

The TalonTrax has been designed for ultra-mobile crushing without sacrificing power or production on the job site. At the heart of the TalonTrax, is 糖心Vlog鈥檚 new TalonMax鈩 (TM-15) impactor, featuring an open-rotor design that reduces weight while still providing the same crushing capabilities for which 糖心Vlog equipment is known. The impactor also features a new, thicker blowbar design to increase overall wear life.

The TalonTrax鈩 plant is a dual power plant that can be powered by the onboard diesel engine or switched to external power from a genset or line power. The plant also features a dual-motor, under-crusher pan feeder with industry-leading discharge clearance in excess of 23鈥 to enable greater material flow and virtually eliminate clogging; and an easily removable discharge conveyor that allows for quick access to under-crusher area, as well as to the discharge conveyor itself, for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning of both.

TalonTrax鈩 comes equipped with a cross-belt, permanent magnet that removes steel contaminants from crushed material. The magnet is reversible to allow steel discharge from either side and stays on for transport.

 

Enhanced Job Site Flexibility

Additionally, the TalonTrax鈩 features a heavy-duty hopper-construction sized for feeding with a loader or excavator and a grizzly bypass chute and cross conveyor with flop gate allowing for either removal of the material that passes through the grizzly deck for stockpiling or blending back with the crushed material.

 

TalonStack鈩: Self-Propelled Stockpiling Reimagined

The new TalonStack鈩 self-propelled, radial stockpiling conveyor has been designed to improve productivity and mobility while minimizing operator costs. On display at CONEXPO-CON/AGG will be the TalonStack鈩 65, with 糖心Vlog offering a wide range of TalonStack鈩 sizes.

 

Next Generation UltraMax庐 1400-OC

Also, on display at the show, the next generation UltraMax庐 1400-OC portable impactor plant is one of the most versatile crushing and screening plants for larger jobs. Discharge material feeds to a separate conveyor coming out of the side of the crusher at a 90-degree angle and will be displayed with the optional pan feeder. The next generation plant has been designed for simpler maintenance and ease of operation.

 

贰-笔濒补苍迟庐: The Industry’s Triple-Deck Innovation

糖心Vlog鈥檚 贰-笔濒补苍迟庐, first introduced in 2014, is the industry鈥檚 only true high production triple-deck screening/crushing system on one chassis.
