Roach Screw Type Auxiliary Type Take-Up (For Belt Conveyors)

Features

• The tension is created by the two screws which are tightened and periodically adjusted with a spanner
• It is preferable to use screws with trapezoidal thread to decrease the effort required to tighten the belt
• Take ups:
  • Ensure adequate tension of the belt leaving the drive pulley to avoid any slippage of the belt
  • Compensate for changes in belt length due to elongation
  • Ensure proper belt tension at the loading and other points along the conveyor
  • Provide extra length of belt when necessary for splicing purposes
