The electrical-mechanical brake device with food bucket elevator was designed, based on the traditional hydraulic braking effectiveness. The calculation of "motor + planetary gear reducer + spiral" was conducted, and the movement conversion device, dc torque motor and deceleration moment were analyzed. Moreover, the test was studied by using the similarity principle. The results showed that brake equipment operation of the electrical-mechanical brake device with food bucket elevator was stable and reliable, and brake disc vibration was small. The brake block was quickly, with the parts running normally, and structure design was reasonable. Finally, the food oil free, and the sterile productions were realized. The design could satisfy the food bucket elevator normal brake job needs and the food hygiene requirements.
