What to do if my Batco Automobile Accessories conveyor will not run?
- A
  Andrew DixonAug 2, 2025
  If the conveyor will not run, the conveying belting might be loose and needs tightening and aligning. Alternatively, the drive belts could be loose and require tightening and alignment. Another potential cause is the belt being frozen to the tube due to high humidity and extreme cold; in this case, move the conveyor to an area with lower humidity to allow the belt to dry. Finally, check valve may be installed incorrectly, change its orientation.

  Jonathon CortezAug 10, 2025
  A low conveying capacity may be due to an incorrect belt speed; adjust the belt speed to the correct range. Alternatively, the conveyor belt or the drive belt might be slipping. If the conveyor belt is slipping, tighten and align it. If the drive belt is slipping, set the correct tension and alignment.
