Synchronous drum motors engineered for demanding applications.

More power and torque when your application demands it

Our synchronous drum motors combine high motor efficiency with a compact integrated design. Expanded power and torque options make it possible to meet more demanding electrical and mechanical requirements.

Increased power

  • Keep operations stable even with long cable runs or high-voltage setups
  • Avoid the cost, space, and complexity of installing additional filters to try and eliminate peak voltages

More torque options

  • Handle heavy mechanical loads, even at an incline, without drops in performance
  • Reduce the energy surge normally seen to get heavy loads moving

Synchronous versus asynchronous drum motors 

Asynchronous motors have long been the default choice for machines in the food industry. But they also come with challenges such as oil leaks, energy waste, and limited speed control.

Synchronous drum motors offer a smarter alternative. Their design enhances hygiene, reduces operating costs, and delivers improved performance across the board. We explain why the switch makes sense and how the investment pays off faster than most expect.

Why choose synchronous oil-free drum motors?


Our synchronous drum motors combine synchronous motor technology with oil-free operation to provide:

  • Higher food safety: Eliminates the risk of oil contamination
  • Energy efficiency: Higher motor efficiency reduces energy consumption
  • Compact design: Space-saving and easy to integrate
  • Precision and control: Superior control over speed and torque for precise tasks
  • Versatility: Can operate various belt types and designs
  • Low self-heating: Minimized power losses resulting in very low self-heating
  • Multi-speed dimensioning: Cover a wide range of speeds with only one motor, reducing the variety of drum motors needed
  • Reduced maintenance: Oil-free design minimizes maintenance requirements
Our range of synchronous oil-free drum motors


Two series. Four shared sizes. One proven motor platform.


MTS and HMTS share the same proven motor technology and performance, allowing you to choose the level of hygienic design
that best matches your application.

Both series are available in four drum motor sizes: 62, 82, 113 and 138.

Need more power or torque?

For applications with higher electrical or mechanical demands, our synchronous drum motors are available with power and torque upgrade options.

  • Handle heavy loads, including inclined applications, without compromising performance
  • Support demanding electrical setups, including long cable runs and high-voltage applications

 

Looking for a more hygienic drum motor design?


Meet HMTS, our new hygienic synchronous drum motor series developed specifically for food processing environments. 

HMTS combines the same proven synchronous motor technology and performance as MTS with a closed hygienic design developed to simplify cleaning and reduce areas where residue can accumulate.
