Introduction
 Belt conveyors are mechanical devices that move entire objects or bulk materials by friction.
Because they provide reliable operation, high volumes, and long transmission distances, they are
frequently utilised for the transportation of coal. They can be applied to bags, bottles, boxes, and
packaged items, and they can be automated and centralised. General material handling and bulk
material handling are the two categories under which belt conveyors fall. Proper care for the belt,
frame, and accessories is part of maintenance. A conveyor belt made from polyvinyl chloride and fabric
such as polyester or styrene-butadiene rubber and several layers of polyester or nylon fabric. Flame-retardant
compounds used in the manufacture of conveyor belts.
Different components of conveyor belt
1. The Conveyor Belt: Conveyor systems primarily consist of belts that are used to carry objects
between stations.
a)Grade A is used for heavy abrasion or cutting.
b)Grade B is used for light abrasion.
They are divided into three groups: A, B, and C. Conveyor belts come in different varieties, such as
coated, covered, reinforced, raw cotton canvas, impregnated cotton and canvas, integral cleat, and
white finished belts.
Formulation
Drive Unit
 An electric motor, a two- or three-stage gearbox, a damping coupling, and a
connection connecting the output shaft to the pulley comprise the drive unit. One of
the most important parts of this subsystem is the gearbox. According to industry
estimates, unexpected failures could necessitate
replacing as many as 14% of gearboxes every year
Skirt Board
 When loading, skirt boards are utilised in conjunction with delivery chutes at the
conveyor's tail end to guide the material. It consists essentially of a frame that is firmly
fixed to the conveyor system.
A skirt rubber tied at the bottom allows for constant pressure to be delivered to the
belting.
Conveyor technology
 Conveyor technology is used in many industries. Whenever material has to be conveyed in any
direction and over limited distances using technical aids, conveyor technology comes into play. In
short: whenever material flow is involved, conveyor technology plays an important role.
Failure of Conveyor Belt
 The conveyor system fails due to errors in connected components such as pulleys, motors, shafts,
bearings, etc. in addition to belt deterioration. Gearbox failures account for 50% of cases.

has wheels that are geared. Another serious failure is damage to the input shaft. Most conveyor belt-
related component failures are the result of input problems, uneven loading, and overloading.
Maintenances
 Lubricating, replacing bearings, and maintaining machine cleanliness are all part of mechanical
maintenance.
 Maintaining equipment free of dust, oil, and moisture as well as adjusting motor blowout frequency to
site air quality are aspects of cleanliness.
 Before handling bearings, lubrication is necessary.
 Multipurpose grease with a lithium basis is advised for antifriction bearings. To avoid hammering
bearings and premature failure, new bearings must be heated in medium oil for an hour before to
replacement.
 After removal or partial disassembly, wrap bearings in a clean journal to prevent dirt buildup.
Conclusion
 The several conveyer systems had problems such as high wear on the bottom of the belt,
improper idler alignment, frame corrosion, and the belt running off at the tail pulley.
 In the initial phase of our endeavour, we placed the putting a preventative maintenance
strategy into effect, which lowers the cost of subsequent repair.
 Regular maintenance and the right lubricant can help preserve idler alignment. lowering
belt runoff at the pulley at the tail.
