What causes the belt of a Roots blower to break?

  1. Insufficient belt tension, leading to belt slippage, causing the belt temperature to rise and burn out the belt;

  2. Excessive outlet pressure of the blower or excessive gas flow, leading to machine overload and belt breakage;

  3. The three-lobe Roots blower rotates ineffectively, leading to belt breakage;

  4. Misalignment between the blower wheel and the motor pulley causes belt wear.

  5. Belt quality deviation;

  6. The V-shaped groove of the belt does not match the pulley, leading to wear and inability to bear the load, resulting in breakage;

  7. The belt of the three-lobe Roots blower is used in high-temperature environments;
