Drum motor makes the cut

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 new space-saving 80mm diameter Interroll Synchronous Drum Motor is reported to be the most powerful, energy-efficient generation 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 offers 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.
