DRUM MOTORS FOR CONVEYORS – UNIT HANDLING

Different designs and configurations of drum motors for conveyors

Rulmeca huge production counts a complete and versatile range of drum motors for conveyors due to the key role of driving components they play in the functioning of these material handling systems. As guarantee for high performance, all Rulmeca drum motors share a compact, hermetic sealed, powerful, low consumption and reliable design. Then, different models and configurations are specifically studied to meet the most demanding needs and multiple industrial applications.

First, the selection of Rulmeca drum motors for conveyors includes the ideal driving components to move light, medium and high duty conveyors. Moreover, they are able to operate even in the harshest conditions, including low and high temperatures, presence of water, dirt, chemicals, oil or grease and during high-pressure washdown procedures.

Finally, Rulmeca drum motors can drive belt conveyors using different types of belts. Drum motors for standard conveyor belts of PVC or Polyurethane are used with a crowned shell. Instead, drum motors for conveyors with plastic modular belts or thermoplastic positively driven belts are equipped with a cylindrical or flat shell, with profiled lagging or special sprockets. Rulmeca driving components can also be used in non-belt applications, using derated motors and cylindrical or flat shells. Finally, to better suit different applications, Rulmeca drum motors have many options such as rubber lagging, integrated encoders, electromagnetic brakes and frequency converters which are all certified according to CE directive.
