Conveyor Belt Trackers
Improve Belt Misalignment With HOSCH Conveyor Belt Trackers
Belt misalignment is one of the biggest causes of material spillage and can result in significant damage to your conveyor system. At HOSCH Australia, we supply and install industry-leading conveyor belt tracker systems to help fix belt misalignment.
Whether you’re experiencing material loss or uneven component wear, installing a HOSCH tracker can significantly improve conveyor performance by rectifying belt mistracking. If your conveyor belt is tracking poorly, get in touch for a free conveyor belt audit.
Our Range Of Conveyor Belt Tracking Systems
R-Series Trackers
Designed for simple, safe cleaning on smaller conveyor belts, the A1 features patented tool-free module changes, quick carrier removal and overlapping modules for gap-free cleaning. It requires no retensioning throughout the life of the modules.
RG2 Tracker
The HOSCH B-Series delivers reliable belt cleaning in challenging belt conditions and confined chutes. Its modular design integrates with the HOSCH modular system and can be configured for direct pulley mounting to suit different conveyor layouts.
RC-Series Tracker
The HOSCH C-Series uses patented self-adjusting modules that follow the contours of the belt or pulley. Two rows of overlapping modules provide continuous cleaning across the belt, and the series suits a wide range of belt widths, speeds and bulk materials.
RRC-Series Tracker
The HOSCH D-Series maintains consistent belt contact for effective cleaning and improves material flow between modules to reduce build-up. With fewer wear parts and all adjustments made outside the chute, it simplifies installation and maintenance.
RRC-V Series Tracker
The HOSCH HD-Series is a heavy-duty pre-scraper for demanding bulk material applications. Its tungsten carbide-tipped modules are matched to the material, deliver long service life with minimal maintenance and deflect in a controlled motion.

What Is Conveyor Belt Misalignment?
Conveyor belt mistracking occurs when a belt moves away from its intended path and runs towards one side of the conveyor structure.
Left unaddressed, mistracking can cause spillage, belt edge damage, increased component wear and unplanned downtime. In severe cases, the belt may contact surrounding structures and create safety hazards. Identifying the underlying cause is essential. Correct alignment, regular maintenance and appropriately selected belt tracking equipment help keep the belt centred, protect conveyor components and support reliable operation over time.
What Causes Conveyor Belt Misalignment?
Uneven Material Loading
Material loaded off-centre creates an uneven load across the belt, which can cause it to drift sideways and increase spillage
Misaligned Pulleys & Idlers
Pulleys or idlers positioned out of square with the conveyor can steer the belt away from its intended path, causing mistracking and belt edge wear.
Material Build-Up
Carryback accumulating on pulleys and rollers changes their contact surface, which can push the belt off-centre and affect tracking performance.
The Benefits Of Installing A HOSCH Conveyor Belt Tracker
HOSCH conveyor belt trackers help keep your belt centred, reducing damage, spillage and maintenance demands. Here are just a few key benefits of installing a HOSCH belt tracker:
- Improved Belt Alignment
- Reduced Belt Edge Damage
- Less Material Spillage
- Reduced Component Wear
- Fewer Unplanned Shutdowns
- Safer Working Areas
- Lower Operating Costs
The Conveyor Belt Tracker Installation Process
1. Free Conveyor Belt Audit
We assess your conveyor system to identify mistracking issues, inspect belt condition and components, and understand operating conditions before determining the right solution.
2. Explore Tracker Options
Based on our audit findings, we recommend the most suitable HOSCH tracker for your belt width, conveyor layout and operating conditions to support reliable belt alignment.
3. Installation & Quality Checks
Our technicians install your HOSCH tracker, check its alignment and operation, and complete quality checks to confirm the belt tracks correctly under your normal operating conditions.
