How about some pictures so we can see the problem? Most problems with conveyors are lacing or alignment issues. As far as the belt being nylon you have to check it's compatibility with the material be moved.

If it is 6.5 km long, there may need to be some special provisions for take-up on account of stretch or differential thermal expansion.
