- Handling of used belts
Function and Performance
- Warning
- Do not use SUNLINE Belts outside the permissible operating range shown in this catalog(pulley diameter, elongation, resistance to chemicals, etc.)
- Warning
- When conveying upackaged food, please use belts that meet Food Sanitation Act standards of Ministry of Health and Welfare (Articles s 370 and 85).
Notes for Storage and Transport
- Warning
- Use of open flames strictly prohibited
- Warning
- Store heavy belts with appropriate parts or stoppers so that the belts do not fall down or roll.
- Caution
- Avoid direct sunlight and humid areas. Cover belts with cloth or sheet.
- Caution
- Do not allow abnormal distortion to the belt during storage and transport.
Notes for installation and daily use.
- Danger
- Do not allow any part of the body or clothing to contact pulleys or rollers during operation.
- Danger
- Switch off the conveyor and related equipment before installation or repair.
- Warning
- Do not use chemicals harmful to the human body while cleaning the belt.
Engineering (installation, joins)
- Warning
- Ventilate well when using solvents and adhesives. Open flames are strictly prohibited in the working area.
- Warning
- Do not leave solvents or adhesives at the work site.
- Caution
- Install and join belts in accordance with the materials, methods and steps recommended by Bando.
Replace the belt or contact Bando or your distributor if any of the following occur while using SUNLINE Belts.
- Warning
- The join portion comes apart or seems likely to come apart soon.
- Warning
- The belt edge is cut and the tear is growing.
- Warning
- The belt cover material is worn down and the carcass appears.
- Warning
- The belt edge is frayed or there is abrasion debris in the frame guide area that may introduce foreign matter to the products conveyed.
Handling of used belts
- Caution
- Lawfully dispose of belts as industrial waste.
- Warning
- Do not expose to fire.

Usage Precautions
Please read this catalog and our Design Manual, and pay attention to the points below to ensure safe and proper product handling. The impact on safety is described below.
- Danger
- Imminent risk of serious injury or death due to incorrect or improper handling.
- Warning
- Risk of serious injury or death due to incorrect or improper handling.
- Caution
- Risk of personal injury or property damage due to incorrect or improper handling.
- Use and Intended Use

- Handling of used products
Use and Intended Use
- Danger
- A safety device must be installed to stop the belt in case it is severed but continues to run, or if it operates in idle, which could cause serious injury or accident.
- Danger
- Do not use the belt as a sling or a towing tool.
- Warning
- If static electricity is generated by the belt drive, use an an ti-static belt and provide a neutralizing mechanism for the drive device to prevent fire or a malfunction of the control equipment.
- Caution
- Do not use the belt as insulation. Please contact Bando or your distributor about the insulation properties of different belt types.
- Caution
- If the belt comes into direct contact with food, use belts that meet Food Sanitation Act requirements.
- Caution
- Do not modify the belt as this may reduce quality and performance.
Function and Performance
- Caution
- Do not use belts outside allowable ranges or for applications not shown in this catalog or in the Design Manual, as this may lead to premature belt failure.
- Caution
- If water, oil, chemicals, paint or dust adhere to the belt or p ulley, transmission power will degrade and may cause premature belt failure.
- Caution
- Noise may be high for toothed belts in high speed drive applications. If so, please install a soundproof cover.
Storage and Transport
- Caution
- Use proper equipment to carry or handle heavy belts and pulleys to avoid physical injury.
- Caution
- Do not forcibly bend the belt, and do not place heavy objects on the belt during storage or transport, as this may damage the belt and cause premature failure.
- Caution
- Please store belts out of direct sunlight at temperatures between -10～40℃ in areas with low humidity.
Installation and Operation
- Danger
- Install a safety cover over the rotating parts, including the b elt and pulley, as hair, gloves or clothing may get caught between the belt and pulleys. Also, injury may occur from flying debris if the belt or pulley breaks.
- Danger
- Please observe the following during maintenance, inspection and replacement:
- 1）Switch off the equipment, and make sure that the belt and all pulleys have come to a complete stop before maintenance and replacement.
- 2）Securely fix the machinery in place if there is any possibility that the machinery will move when the belt is replaced.
- 3）Make sure that the machinery is not accidentally switched on during maintenance and replacement.
- Caution
- Use same-specification products when replacing belts or pulleys.
Use of different products may cause premature belt failure.
- Caution
- Check and adjust pulley alignment to avoid premature belt failure due to pulley misalignment.
- Caution
- Do not cut a tensioned belt with a knife or scissors, as the belt may snap and cause injury.
- Caution
- In multi-belt operations, replace all belts at the same time to avoid premature belt failure.
- Caution
- Confirm that the belt correctly enters the pulley groove.
- Caution
- Belt and pulleys may be extremely hot immediately after operation. Do not touch them until they have cooled down.
- Caution
- Loosen belt tension before replacing belts. Do not use a screw driver or the like to unreasonably force the new belt over the pulley flange or into the V groove as this may cause premature belt failure.
- Caution
- Follow the procedures in this catalog and the Design Manual to give initial belt tension.
Improper tensioning may result in premature belt failure or damage to the shaft.
- Caution
- Follow the points below if you additionally process the pulleys.
- 1）Remove burrs or sharp angles from processed parts.
- 2）Ensure dimensional accuracy after processing.
- 3）Ensure pulley strength after processing.
Handling of used products
- Caution
- Lawfully dispose of used products as industrial waste.
- Danger
- Do not incinerate used belts as they generate toxic gas.
