Why More Food Producers Are Switching to Synchronous Drum Motors

For years, asynchronous drum motors have been the go-to solution for conveyor systems, but in food processing, their limitations are hard to ignore. 

Oil leaks, inefficient energy use, and poor low-speed torque control can all impact uptime, hygiene, and operating costs.

In our latest article, NGI DriveTech’s Global Sales Manager, Mathias K. Sørensen, breaks down the growing shift toward synchronous drum motors. These motors run oil-free, stay cooler under load, and deliver consistent torque across all speeds — all while helping processors reduce energy bills and simplify maintenance.

Key benefits covered in the article:

• Oil-free design that eliminates contamination risks and simplifies compliance

• High efficiency and consistent torque, even at low speeds

• Easy retrofitting with standard footprints and drive compatibility

Find out how our synchonous drum motors support more sustainable and dependable food processing — and why the switch pays off faster than many expect.
