Emergency Safety at Your Fingertips

African Automation’s Pull Cord Switches are critical safety components designed to provide a quick and reliable method for stopping conveyor belts in case of emergency. Installed along conveyor structures, these switches ensure that anyone working near the system can immediately halt operation when needed.

African Automation's Pull Cord Switch is a mechanical safety device that allows operators to stop a conveyor belt from any point along its length by pulling a rope or cord connected to the switch. It acts as an emergency stop (E-stop) and is essential in protecting both personnel and equipment.
