In the last 100 hrs. of operation I have ruined 3 cylinder
variable speed belts. The first 2 were destroyed with no apparent
reason. There were no signs of slippage and no signs of heat. The
second was a heavy duty belt and the first was a regular. Tonight
the machine started to vibrate and I found the belt has chunks out
on the sides in 3 different places. Same scenario. No apparent
reason. This one is a regular belt.
Everything seems to be inline. I checked all concerned bearings
and no heat found. There are no heat marks like there was
slippage. We are running good beans and the machine is not
laboring.
I am stumped. Any ideas?
