Disc brakes are used on conveyors for four main reasons: An emergency stop. For normal stopping and parking. Where one conveyor feeds another and there is risk of over spill. Wherever there exists a risk of personal injury particularly under ground.

The brakes may be fitted to the tail drum, driving drum or motor shaft, but with long over ground conveyors, Twiflex recommend that the brake is fitted to the up stream end to prevent a catapult effect due to the reversal of belt tension. Twiflex has developed brake controllers ranging from simple on/off to the more sophisticated systems that interface with drive motor and speed sensors to provide starting and stopping profiles.
