Drum motors

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.
