ANTI ROLL BACK ROLLBEARING 6205 – 2RS |
Why
an Idler Brake?
1) To stop runaway conveyors, which cause:
- Damage
to infrastructure.
- Danger
of injury and death to personnel in the vicinity.
- The
necessity of lengthy and difficult cleanup operations.
- The
loss of production due to standing time, with the associated cost (loss of income).
2) To
simplify the construction and maintenance of conveyors: -
Pulling in of belts is now easily accomplished. The belt may be let loose at any
stage and at any position on the incline - and will simply remain there.
- Broken
belts, with or without load, will remain in position, allowing them to be spliced
and repaired at leisure.
3)
To provide an alternative to expensive backstops,
Which are ineffective
when the belt snaps before the backstop, as well as to other systems for catching
runaway conveyors, which are only partly effective, normally only attempting to
catch the belt once it has gained some momentum, and even then catches the belt
in only one or a couple of locations, giving rise to extreme tensions and forces
in the belt.
