The replacement cycle for industrial conveyor belts must be determined comprehensively based on the following criteria:

I. Core Replacement Indicators
Performance Degradation: When the transmission efficiency drops below 85% of its rated value, it indicates severe belt slippage and the belt needs to be replaced.
Temperature abnormality: If the surface temperature of a standard rubber belt continuously exceeds 70℃ (100℃ for heat-resistant belts) without any external heat source interference, it must be replaced immediately.
II. Standard Replacement Cycle
Standard service life: V-belts typically last 5 years or 8,000 hours; automotive drive belts are recommended to be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers.
Construction machinery: Due to the high-intensity working environment, it needs to be replaced every 1-2 years.
III. Influencing Factors
Environment: Prolonged exposure to humid, high-temperature, or low-temperature environments can significantly shorten lifespan.
Maintenance: Regularly inspecting for wear, keeping it clean, and maintaining proper tension can extend its service life.

Note: Refer to the equipment or vehicle maintenance manual for specific replacement timing to avoid malfunctions caused by overuse beyond the recommended period.
