The Melco Rollerbrake™ is a breakthrough in safety for inclined conveyor systems, stopping them in their tracks in the event of a belt break.

Prevents run-back in the event of belt damage Minimises downtime, damage and injury Can be fitted to all standard Melco idlers Supplements conventional conveyor hold-back devices

Melco has been in business for over thirty years, and in that time has supplied product for operation in over fifty countries. As a world renowned manufacturer of conveyor idlers, modules and related equipment, the Melco Rollerbrake™ serves to reinforce the Company’s commitment to continual development and improvement of an impressive range of quality products.

The Melco Rollerbrake™ was designed and developed to prevent belt runback, reduce downtime and minimise the risk of injury to personnel. By adding the Rollerbrake™ to the conventional Melco roll, this essential device provides reliable unidirectional stopping power to any inclined conveyor installation, and supplements conventional conveyor holdback devices in the event of their failure. The contact surfaces of the brake are not load-bearing during normal operation, so there is no additional friction added to the conveyor installation.

Manufactured to highest standards
Melco Rollerbrakes™ are manufactured in accordance with the Melco ISO 9000:2000 Quality Management System and meet the highest quality standards utilising wear resistant metals and high quality chromium steel rolling elements.

Melco Rollerbrakes™ are available in all Melco standard roller shaft and bearing configurations.
