Proper maintenance of the belt system in rubber washing machines is vital for ensuring longevity and avoiding breakdowns. Regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, such as cracks or fraying. Misalignments can also lead to increased wear and tear, so belts must be adjusted correctly. Lubrication should be applied to the moving parts associated with the belt but must be done cautiously to avoid contamination of the rubber material being processed.
