Why did my ERO Joint® Conveyor Belt break and how can I analyse it?

Problem encountered

Possible reason for fault

How can we solve the problem?

You notice that the junction is broken, broken off

Too heavy a load

Accident or wear

Too much tension

Modify the current joint with a reinforced 5-rod joint

We recommend reducing the tension

End fingers spread apart

The Belt is fitted upside down, wrong direction of travel

You haven't used the Glued and lubricant that we supplied to you

Check that the Belt is correctly fitted and that it runs in the correct direction.

The pins have moved towards the edges of the Belt

You restarted too quickly after installing the Belt (glue and lubricant did not have time to dry).

There is too much stress in the belt

Replace smooth rods with notched rods
