Every non parallel roller can modify the belt tracking. Be sure they are perpendicular too to the belt center line and square with the frame. If the belt excel these tests, it basically be centered, but a final test can confirm this. Launch the conveyor belt in the reverse run, to the tail pulley. The belt must be empty.
To drive a conveyor belt without slippage and to track it in a proper way, a certain belt tension is necessary. The tension applied has to be such that there is no slippage on the
3 Basic Conveyor Belt Tracking Rules To Follow Conveyor belts are frequently blamed for belt tracking problems and in most cases this is unjustified. The failure cause is usually to be found in the installation itself and may be the result of poorly adjusted pulleys and rollers, incorrect application of belt tracking measures or faulty design.

To keep any belt conveyor running properly, it is important that you are able to correctly track the belt. In this blog post, we will walk you through conveyor belt tracking basics for most belt conveyors. To track a belt you will be using the idlers, pulleys, product location, and belt condition to control the direction of belt travel.
Aug 16, 2016 Above: Check or confirm that a conveyor is square by measuring the diagonals of each conveyor section.If the diagonals don’t match measurements, your frame is not square. Below: A belt must be cut squarely, or at a consistent angle, and laced properly in order to track perfectly.If either of these are off, the belt will track off each time the lace comes around the end of the conveyor.
Often the wrong pulley is used to track or adjust the belt. This is a common problem when the conveyor utilizes a center drive and tracking configuration. Start by checking to ensure every pulley is in proper alignment with the conveyor frame. Use only snub rollers and idlers to make tracking adjustments.
