Brakes

Provide safety Bring the speeding vehicle to a stop or help to decelerate. Air brake system activates the foundation brakes on the axles. Foundation brakes physically bind the wheels via brake drums.

Brakes
An air compressor driven by engine provides compressed air for brake application. Air drier provides oil and moisture free air to the brake system for trouble free, efficient, longer life of brake system.

Brakes
In hydraulic brakes, the braking effort is proportional to pedal effort and hence less efficient. Dual line brake system has independent front, rear and hand brake circuits; in case of failure of any one of the circuits, the others keep the vehicle functional.

Brakes
Engine exhaust brake helps in controlling the down the gradients Continuous application of service brakes down the gradients results in faster wear & tear of the brake linings and reduction in brake efficiency due to brake lining fading.

Brakes
SAW or Simplex Air Wedge brake is one kind of foundation brake system which provides automatic adjustment of brakes.

Brakes
When exhaust brake is applied, the exhaust gas out flow from engine is throttled by means of a butterfly or slide valve consequent to which engine decelerates the vehicle

Exhaust Brake Pedal Operated

The Exhaust brake is basically a valve fitted in the engine exhaust pipe between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. This valve is closed by supply of compressed air through electrically actuated solenoid valve. By creating a back pressure in exhaust pipe / manifold the engine becomes a low pressure single stage compressor this applies a steady braking effect to the drive wheels without locking the wheels or applying shock to any portion of transmission.

The Exhaust Brake Switch(2) is provided near the accelerator pedal. To operate the exhaust brake press the switch by leg. The magnetic valve connected in the air circuit opens the air to the exhaust brake cylinder, this operates the butterfly valve were by slowing down the engine and the vehicle. The exhaust brake(1) is used when the vehicle is coming down the hill with the load. By again pressing the exhaust brake switch the magnetic valve closes the air to the cylinder and the exhaust brake is released

Air Dryer
The compressed air delivered by compressor flows through a filter and a bed of desiccant, which provides dirt free clean, and moisture free dry air to the system.
