What causes fault code CONV-010 (Conveyor Belt Splice Failure)?

Splice has reached end of life — normal wear. Excessive belt tension stretching splice apart. Belt overloaded — product weight exceeding belt rating. Improper splice technique or materials used in last repair. Belt tracking issue causing uneven wear on splice

How do I fix fault code CONV-010?

Stop conveyor immediately if splice is separating — belt can break. Inspect splice — if >25% separated, do not run; repair or replace. Schedule belt splice repair with proper vulcanizing kit or mechanical fasteners. Check belt tension — over-tensioning accelerates splice failure. Verify belt rating matches actual load requirements. After repair, track belt to ensure it runs straight

Probable Causes (ranked)

Splice has reached end of life — normal wear
Excessive belt tension stretching splice apart
Belt overloaded — product weight exceeding belt rating
Improper splice technique or materials used in last repair
Belt tracking issue causing uneven wear on splice

Fix Steps

1 Stop conveyor immediately if splice is separating — belt can break
2 Inspect splice — if >25% separated, do not run; repair or replace
3 Schedule belt splice repair with proper vulcanizing kit or mechanical fasteners
4 Check belt tension — over-tensioning accelerates splice failure
5 Verify belt rating matches actual load requirements
6 After repair, track belt to ensure it runs straight

Field Trick

Mechanical fasteners (Flexco clips) get you running in 30 minutes. Vulcanized splices last 3x longer but need 4+ hours. Pick based on urgency.
