What is the function of the belt conveyor brake

Belt machine as a kind of conveying equipment, the existence of start-stop device in the transportation process must be very necessary! Because it is not possible to connect to the electricity, immediately after the automatic operation, which must be dangerous and unreasonable.
And the belt conveyor brake, just like the brakes of the car! When you convey at an incline, the belt conveyor may move back and forth or rotate due to gravity, etc., and the brake can just stop the belt conveyor from moving erratically.

As an important part of the drive system, the belt machine brake is responsible for two key tasks:
First, braking, that is, in the need to stop the belt machine operation, through the role of the brake, quickly and smoothly slow down and stop the movement of the belt, so as to avoid the equipment due to inertia to continue to run the potential safety hazards that may be brought about;

The second is to maintain tension, the brake in the process of adjusting the belt tension plays a vital role in ensuring that the belt in the process of operation will not fall off due to slack, or due to over-tightening and damage.
So the belt brake in the protection of belt machine equipment operation safety, improve production efficiency, plays a pivotal role!
