Belt conveyor deviation may occur for many reasons, including the following common reasons:

1. Unbalanced load: When the materials are unevenly distributed on the conveyor belt, it will cause lateral force on the conveyor belt, which will lead to deviation. This situation may be caused by uneven material flow, blockage of the hopper outlet, or material accumulation on one side preferentially.

2. Uneven tension of the conveyor belt: The conveyor belt should maintain appropriate tension during operation. If the tension is uneven, such as tension on one side and slack on the other, it can cause the conveyor belt to wander.

3. Bearing failure: If the bearing of the conveyor fails, it will cause unstable vibration during the operation of the conveyor belt, which will lead to deviation problems.

To address the problem of conveyor belt deviation, the following anti-deviation measures can be taken:

1. Regular inspection and adjustment: Regularly inspect the conveyor belt system, including drivers, rollers, rollers, tensioning devices and other components to ensure that they are installed correctly and tightened reliably. If the conveyor belt is found to be off track, adjustments should be made in time.

2. Adjust material distribution: When it is found that the deviation of the conveyor belt is caused by unbalanced load, the distribution of materials can be adjusted, such as adjusting the material flow, adjusting the hopper outlet, adding material guide devices, etc., to reduce or eliminate the deviation. Partial question.

3. Balance tension: Ensure that the tension on the conveyor belt is evenly distributed, especially the tensioning device must be adjusted correctly. An automatic tensioning device or manual adjustment can be used to maintain proper tension.

4. Prevent relaxation and breakage: Regularly check the tension and service life of the conveyor belt to prevent relaxation and breakage of the conveyor belt. Replace severely worn or aged conveyor belts in a timely manner and repair damage that may cause deviation.

5. Install a deviation protection device: Install a deviation protection device, such as a deviation switch or a photoelectric sensor. By monitoring the position of the conveyor belt, if deviation is found, an alarm will be issued in time and corrective measures will be taken.

6. Add auxiliary devices: Depending on the specific situation, some auxiliary devices can be added to help prevent the conveyor belt from deflecting, such as guide devices, roller scrapers, conveyor belt edge reinforcement belts, etc.

Please note that when taking the above anti-bias measures, adjustments and operations should be made according to specific conditions and equipment requirements. If the misalignment problem cannot be solved, it is recommended to consult professional technicians or manufacturers for repair and adjustment.
