Specifications

Backstop device fitted to inclined conveyors and elevators to prevent the belt or bucket line from running back under load if drive power is lost. Sprag or roller elements free-wheel in the conveying direction and lock instantly in reverse, fitted to the gearbox shaft extension or head-pulley shaft with a torque arm to react the holding torque. Contact-free (lift-off) designs are available for high overrunning speeds, where continuous contact would otherwise wear the element. A critical safety component on any incline conveyor.

Standard equipment on the inclined conveyors and bucket elevators found at mines, quarries, cement works and steel works, where a loaded belt running backward would overload the gearbox and everything downstream of it.
