Q. What factor causes slippage of conveyor belts?

Answer

There can be various factors that could cause conveyor belts to slip. These are listed below: The incorrect size of conveyor belt material is loose and hence the pulleys would not get a firm grip giving way to slippage. The material for the conveyor belt itself may be quite slippery. Conveyor belts made of a material like nylon may be susceptible to slippage.
