ProcessBarron’s SafeTBrake is a rotor-locking brake system that stops, locks, and protects industrial fan systems in under one minute. Ideal for parallel fans behind baghouses or ESPs, it prevents unintended rotation and reverse motion, protecting workers and equipment. Featuring dual-disc high-energy brakes, air-applied calipers, and integrated controls, SafeTBrake is compatible with airfoil, forward curved, backward curved, backward inclined, radial blade, and radial tip fans, ensuring fast, safe maintenance and reliable performance.

Product Description

ProcessBarron’s SafeTBrake is a first-of-its-kind rotor-locking brake system designed to safely stop, and protect your industrial fan systems. Engineered for parallel fan configurations, such as groups of fans behind baghouses, electrostatic precipitators (ESP), or other industrial installations, SafeTBrake brings your fans to a full stop in minutes, creating a safer maintenance environment and protecting your equipment.

Minimize downtime and maximize safety. Long spin-down times and uncontrolled fan rotation can lead to extended maintenance delays, costly repairs, and potential worker injury. SafeTBrake eliminates these risks by providing reliable dynamic stopping and secure holding. Once engaged, the brake prevents any unintended fan rotation or reverse motion, ensuring that your team can perform maintenance with confidence and reducing the risk of damage to bearings, shafts, and couplings. Although SafeTBrake ensures safety, it is not intended to be used as a sole lock-out device.

SafeTBrake features advanced design and specifications, like a dual-disc system with high-energy brake discs and an air-applied caliper on each disc, delivering fast, reliable stopping. Fans operating at 900 RPM can come to a full stop in just 30 seconds using 50 PSI air pressure. The included control package integrates a manual On/Off push button and a safety switch, which engages the brake automatically whenever the motor is energized, ensuring safe and intuitive operation.

SafeTBrake is compatible with all styles of industrial fan systems, including:

  • Airfoil Fans
  • Forward Curved Fans
  • Backward Curved Fans
  • Backward Inclined Fans
  • Radial Blade Fans
  • Radial Tip Fans

SafeTBrake Advantages include:

  • Faster maintenance cycles with minimal downtime
  • Enhanced personnel safety during fan servicing
  • Protection for costly equipment components
  • Reliable, repeatable performance

ProcessBarron’s SafeTBrake is the ultimate safety, protection, and convenience solution for industrial fans operating in parallel. Safely stop, lock, and maintain your fans with confidence.
