Braking

We manufacture and supply a comprehensive range of oil immersed multi-plate disc brakes specifically designed for dynamic braking of belt conveyor systems.

Benefits of NEPEAN Designs:

  • Robust: Long service life due to superior engineering and constant immersion in lubrication.​
  • Compliance As an OEM, NEPEAN Conveyors braking systems are supplied in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines.
  • Compact: The most advanced, compact oil-immersed multi-plate design. Safe Spring Applied Hydraulic Release operation (SAHR) ensures fail to safe application of brake during power loss situation
  • Stand-Alone Power: Dedicated power unit provides hydraulic pressure and brake control
