  Conveyor belt slippage in your Batco Accessories can occur due to several reasons. It might be that the conveying belt is loose, in which case you should tighten and align the belt. Another cause could be worn or damaged drive roller lagging, which requires drive roller lagging replacement. Loose drive belts can also cause this issue, so ensure you tighten the belts. In cold conditions with high humidity, the belt may freeze to the tube, so remove the conveyor from the humid area and warm the belt to de-ice it.

  A loose conveyor belt on your Batco Accessories can be attributed to a couple of reasons. Over time, the belt stretches, so re-tension the belt. If the belt is fully tensioned, you may need to shorten the belt and re-lace it.

  If the hydraulic winch on your Batco Accessories is not raising the conveyor, consider these potential issues. The relief valve pressure might be set too low, so adjust the relief valve pressure. Additionally, the oil level could be too low, so check the oil level. Finally, the pump might be worn out, requiring a replacement.

What to do if my Batco FX1535FL Accessories machine operates slowly?
- J
  Jessica WilsonAug 25, 2025
  If your Batco Accessories machine is operating slowly, several factors could be responsible. The oil might be hot, so check the oil level and add oil if required, using general-purpose ISO 32 hydraulic oil. There could also be a blockage in the hydraulic lines, such as a blocked or kinked suction hose. Additionally, the power source may not be producing enough oil volume or pressure, so try speeding up the engine to produce more flow/pressure. The cushion block might need adjusting; in this case, adjust the valve on the cushion block by turning it inward 1/8 of a turn at a time. Finally, if equipped, the filter could be plugged, so change the filter.

How to fix low conveying capacity of Batco Accessories?
- J
  Jeremy ObrienAug 23, 2025
  If your Batco Accessories has a low conveying capacity, there are several potential causes. First, the conveyor angle might be too high, so re-position it with a lower tube angle. Second, the belt speed might be incorrect, so verify and adjust it to the appropriate speed. Third, the conveyor belt may be slipping, so tighten the conveyor belt. Finally, slipping drive belts can also cause this issue, so tighten those belts.
