Motors That Save. Motors That Synchronize.

MTS is the name - you decide what it means to you

MTS synchronous drum motors now offer expanded power and torque options — helping OEMs design machines that handle longer conveyor lines, higher voltages, and heavier loads without compromising hygiene or control.

How you customize them is entirely up to you.

Drum motors engineered for every need.

MTS drum motors you know and trust — now upgraded with more power and torque

Our synchronous drum motors have a higher motor efficiency than asynchronous motors, meaning less power loss. Plus, all technology is protected inside the drum, saving valuable space.

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.
