A typical external component found in existing drives, such as a motor, gearbox, sprockets, chains, chain guards, and pillow block bearings, is being replaced with an AC induction drum motor that has the motor, gear drive, sprockets, and all other moving parts enclosed within it.
In addition to being one of the safest drive units for material handling equipment, a gear roller drum motor is also one of the cleanest units in the food processing industry, as they are completely sealed. This reduces the chances of food contamination.
Additionally, since the motor, planetary gearbox, and bearings are enclosed within the drum shell, the drum motor takes up much less space than most motors on the market.
The motorized pulley AC drum motor is made of steel and plated with zinc.
Standard Ac roller drum motors are made from high alloy steel grinding gears, which help to ensure low noise transmission.
A heavy load gear steel motorized pulley A/C roller drum motor is equipped with planetary gear transmission, designed for heavy loads.
Today many gear motorized pulley Ac roller drum motors can be found in airport check-in conveyors,railway station X-ray machines, and security machines,food-processing conveyors,packaging machines,dynamic weighing equipment,postal sorters,meat, poultry, and fish processing industries, etc.
