According to reports, a recent accident of over-tightening of stainless steel sprocket conveyor belt equipment has attracted widespread attention. According to eyewitnesses, because the sprocket belt was over-stretched, the entire system was in a state of high tension and could not operate normally. This leads to abnormal wear and frequent failures of equipment, resulting in a significant decline in production efficiency.

Further investigation found that the sprocket belt too tight may be due to the operator's unfamiliarity with the equipment and the lack of necessary maintenance. Because the sprocket is too tight, the items on the conveyor belt are forced to pass under greater pressure, which is easy to cause product damage and production line blockage. Not only that, the sprocket belt equipment is too tight to bring certain safety hazards to the operator, because the sprocket may be out of the track when running at high speed, causing accidents.

In order to avoid the recurrence of similar accidents, relevant departments have taken a series of measures. First of all, the training and skill upgrading of operators have been strengthened to ensure that they can correctly operate and maintain the sprocket belt equipment. Secondly, regular inspection and maintenance of the equipment to ensure that the tension of the sprocket is within a reasonable range to avoid problems caused by over-tightening. At the same time, urge enterprises to strengthen safety management, establish a sound production system and safety norms.

Through this accident, we not only saw the harm of the stainless steel sprocket belt equipment too tight, but also realized the importance of the company's equipment operation and maintenance. It is believed that with the joint efforts of all parties, similar accidents will gradually decrease, and the safety and efficiency of the production line will be better guaranteed.
