Belt Clamps

Belle Banne leads the way in hydraulically-controlled belt clamps that are easy to install, with each design load tested to twice the nameplate rating.

Our belt clamps can be used as a brake, static clamp or used in an ‘indexing’ application on large overland conveyors and drift belts to pull slack belt along the conveyors for maintenance activities such as, pulley replacements, belt replacements, etc.

Engineered and built to outlast our belt clamps are designed utilising computer modelling, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and a manufacturing process exceeding a multitude of rigorous standards:

AS3990 - Mechanical equipment – steelwork
AS1554.1 - Structural steel welding – welding of steel structures
AS/NZS 3000:2007 - Electrical installations (known as the Australia/New Zealand wiring rules)
AS2671 - Hydraulic fluid power - general requirements for systems
AS1252 - High strength steel bolts with associated nuts and washers for structural engineering

Custom Power Pack

The power pack has a variable pressure setting to provide fine tuning of the clamp force to enable the clamp jaws to act as a brake.
Features are:
  • An operator console where the operator can vary clamp pressure.
  • A pressure reducing function that allows the operator to adjust the system operating pressure infinitely up to the system capacity.
  • A second pre-charged circuit that is capable of providing full system pressure (200 bar) in the event of a power failure.
  • Manual or electrical unloading features that enable the power pack to be connected to the conveyor safety systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Conveyor Belt Clamps used for?

Conveyor belt clamps are used to securely hold a conveyor belt in place during installation, maintenance, or repair activities. They prevent uncontrolled belt movement, allowing work to be carried out safely and efficiently.

When should Belt Clamps be used?

Belt clamps are commonly used during:

  • Conveyor belt installation
  • Belt changeouts
  • Splicing and repair work
  • Maintenance activities where the belt must be secured

They are essential when working on inclined conveyors or when belt tension needs to be safely managed.

What are the benefts of using Belt Clamps?

Belt clamps provide several key benefits:

  • Secure restraint of the conveyor belt
  • Improved safety during maintenance and installation
  • Reduced risk of belt slippage or uncontrolled movement
  • Support for accurate belt alignment during splicing

Can Belt Clamps be customised for specific applications?

Yes. Belt clamps can be engineered to suit:

  • Belt width, thickness, and construction
  • Conveyor design and tension requirements
  • Site conditions and safety requirements
  • Integration with other belt handling equipment

How do belt clamps integrate with other belt handling equipment?

Belt clamps are typically used as part of a complete belt handling system and can be integrated with:

  • Belt pullers and pinch drives
  • Belt winders
  • Flaking stations
  • Turning frames

This allows for a controlled and efficient belt installation or maintenance process.

How do belt clamps improve safety?

Belt clamps improve safety by:

  • Preventing uncontrolled belt movement
  • Reducing reliance on manual restraint methods
  • Providing a stable and secure working environment

This supports safer belt maintenance and installation procedures.

Do you provide installation and support services?

Yes. Fenner Conveyors offers full lifecycle support, including delivery, installation, commissioning, and operational guidance to ensure belt clamps are used safely and effectively.
