PRAB Inc., has introduced the Auto-Take Up system, a conveyor enhancement designed to automatically tighten belts and eliminate the need for manual adjustments.

PRAB designed the Auto-Take Up to monitor tension using load cells on chain conveyors, including steel belt conveyors, drag conveyors, the PRAB ScrapVeyor and others. The Auto-Take Up system is wired to a programmable logic controller (PLC) panel, which monitors tension and automatically tightens the belt to eliminate manual adjustments and downtime. PRAB says the panel can be added to new conveyors or retrofitted onto existing models. If retrofitted onto an existing conveyor, the system can also be operated using that conveyor’s original control panel. Automatic adjustments can be scheduled during low production times or shift changes.
