Counterweight Winches
Gravity Take-up
A Winch is applied instead of crane to lift up the counterweight block to relief the belt tension for maintenance procedures. Usually, the Winch is placed close to the counterbalance tower. The rope is connected to the counterbalance block by a hook connected directly to the rope or through a set of pulleys.
Belt Conveyors
A Belt conveyors an arrangement of mechanical components that supports and propels a conveyor belt, which in turn carries bulk material. Used wherever it is necessary to handle bulk material through conveyors.
Belt conveyors are present in many application sectors as:
- mining plants
- port installation
- sugarcane plants
- cement plants
The transmission of the motion from the prime mover to the belt is by friction between a drum connected to the motor and the belt itself. A Take-up device provides the means to maintain the proper tension on and to adjust the length of the belt to compensate for stretch ensuring the continuity of transmission.
