Synchronous drum motor boosts salmon slicing

15 December 2016

A company processing salmon delicacies is exploiting the capabilities of a new Interroll synchronous drum motor in its latest slicing production line for premium quality smoked salmon

The production line incorporates A.B. Process slicing machines that feature a PU belt conveyors driven by synchronous drum motors to provide perfect sequential transport and makes sure the slices stay on the carrier boards.

The space-saving 80mm diameter unit is one of the most powerful, energy-efficient generatiosn of drum motors ever developed, enabling one drive system to suit all needs. It’s easy-to-install in belt conveyors for food and packaging processes and many more industrial applications. 

It is said to offer excellent start-stop performance, optimum torque at all speeds, a maximum acceleration/ braking performance and low operating drum temperature of approx 45°C.

When used with Interroll's new Frequency Inverter IFI-IP55 and vector control, the performance of conveyor belt systems can be substantially enhanced. Interroll can offer the drive system to suit all applications and belt types.

Engineer Antoine Aveline – at the Meralliance plant, said: "Our new production line has significantly increased productivity within the constraints of the space given and fully supports washdown procedures. The Interroll Synchronous Drum Motors provides excellent drive and control and is ideally suited for this application - perfectly managing the stop-start operation, enables precise positioning – and is most reliable and and silent in operation."
