Belt Creases or Folds

• Check with Taurus for adherence to dimensional specifications  

• If crease angle is always in the same direction, mount belt in the opposite running direction 

• If the crease angle changes direction, the belt is cone shaped

• Redress to remove taper

• Make parallel  

• Correct sticky members of belt tensioning idler 

• Regrind or replace true 

• Too high tension will tend to overstretch short length side of belt causing lower belt tension 

• Clean machine frequently 

• Check efficiency of dust collector
