Planetary Creep Drive Manufacturer in India

A planetary creep drive is an auxiliary drive that turns a belt conveyor at a very slow “creep” speed for belt inspection, splicing, cleaning and maintenance. The main drive stays off. Kavitsu Transmissions manufactures planetary creep drives in Satara, Maharashtra, specially designed for belt conveyors.

The creep drive attaches to the main drive line and engages only when needed. It is compact, needs only a small motor, and works together with the conveyor's thrustor brake.

Benefits of a Creep Drive

• Safe, slow belt movement for inspection and splicing without running the main motor
• Lower energy use and less wear on the main drive during maintenance
• Compact planetary design that integrates with the existing brake drum
• Precise positioning of the belt joint at the splicing station

Applications

Long belt conveyors in steel plants, mines, cement plants, power station coal handling and ports, and wherever regular belt inspection or maintenance is needed.
