Drum motors in HACCP-compliant food processing

Produced for NGI DriveTech
Food Safety

Stainless steel drum motors are highly valued in HACCP-compliant food processing. The fully enclosed construction of these drives enables high quality hygienic designs. All components such as motor and gear disappear inside the roller at the conveyor head, which is required for the deflection of the TPE or plastic modular belt. However, if oil is used inside the drum motors for cooling, care needs to be taken as leaking oil can become a source of contamination..

Higher reliability and a more hygienic solution

Conveyors with drum motors look more attractive because they do not have a motor flanged to the side. This also increases their reliability, because there’s no risk of accidentally bumping into the motor when walking or driving by.

”Drum motors are also more hygienic than alternative designs, for the simple reason that what isn’t there doesn’t need cleaning."

NGI DriveTech

The Solution

Drum motors have become the standard for many materials handling tasks. Their advantage over alternative drives lies in the fact that the motor-gear unit sits inside the belt or conveyor deflection roller, saving a great deal of space, components, and design effort.

 

Conveyors with drum motors also look more attractive because they do not have a motor flanged to the side. This also increases their reliability, because there’s no risk of accidentally bumping into the motor when walking or driving by. Besides, ascending conveyor sections can be implemented the same on the right as on the left. Ultimately, drum motors are also more hygienic than alternative designs, for the simple reason that what isn’t there doesn’t need cleaning.

 

The fewer corners and edges, the better. As the drum motors are then also oil-free, you end up with the most hygienic design.
