The new space-saving 80mm diameter Interroll Synchronous Drum Motor is the most powerful, energy-efficient generation of drum motors ever developed, enabling one drive system to suit all needs and speeds (0.01 m/s up to 4.5 m/s). Easy-to-install, this is the most eco-friendly drive solution for belt conveyors in the areas of food processing, packaging, checkweighing, automotive, logistic and many more industrial applications.
Unlike externally mounted geared motors with secondary transmission, the new Synchronous Drum Motor easily integrates within a conveyor due to its all-in-one design and compact size.
The planetary gearbox transfers 92-95% of the available electric motor power directly linear to the conveyor system, providing a total output efficiency of up to 82%. This means that the mechanical power loss in comparison to other drum motors or conventional motors with secondary transmission is dramatically reduced.
This energy saving drive solution offers excellent start-stop performance, optimum torque at all speeds, a maximum acceleration/braking performance and low operating drum temperature of approx 45° C, making them ideal for conveying temperature sensitive or perishable goods, whilst also reducing the risk of bacteria propagation. These drives require zero maintenance and can be installed in wet and high pressure wash down applications.
Acceleration from zero to 100 percent can be achieved in milliseconds and when fitted with a servo drive and feedback system, this can be increased up to 151 m/s2 depending on the motor type and load. Intermittent movements on conveyor systems for pick and place, filling or cutting as well as discharge operations or automated check-in terminals can be significantly speeded up.
