Drum Motor Basics: Less is more!

Produced for NGI DriveTech

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.

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."
