belts cracking
(OP)
Hi,
I have to disc mills of the same model here. But I have some problem with one: the belts are cracking faster and must be replace more often.
The two mills are exaclty the same and grind the same product.
I think maybe a deflection between the two sprockets could cause this problem. What do you guys think?

RE: belts cracking
Worn out sheaves?
Dirt & oil ?
Wrong parts?
Operator abuse?
What is the time span between replacements?

Over tension

So, no over tension, operator abuse, under tension, oil, wrong part, temperature...
but it may be the sheaves, torsional vibration or something else...

If so, Ozone maybe the culprit.
One other possibility is if one belt is exposed to sunlight I read about a case where UV exposure was instrumental in drive belt deterioration.
