With fewer installation parts than
conventional geared motor drives,
compact space saving
Interroll drum motors
claim to provide a
quick, cost effective
and easy way of
building maintenancefree,
hygienic and energy-efficient
belt conveyors. Independent test
results are reported to have shown
that Interroll drum motors used 32%
less energy (unloaded) and 47% less
energy (loaded) than a comparable
geared motor drive.
Where hygienic operating conditions are paramount, Interroll says tests have identified conventional external belt drive systems as being a source of contamination in food processing. Its drum motors eliminate this risk as the entire drive mechanism is enclosed in a smooth steel shell sealed to IP66/67.
In pioneering drive solutions for modular plastic belt conveyors, Interroll uses a range of purpose designed, food quality FDA approved profiled rubber and PU lagging, and stainless steel or polymeric sprockets.
