Drum Motors

The performance of a conveyor can be affected more by an efficient drive system integration than by power availability externally. Our Ahmedabad, India manufacturing facility produces drum motors which incorporate all drive components - motor, gearbox and bearings - into one small space with no outside drives or drive components. This type of design is commonly used in food processing lines, baggage handling at airports, packaging facilities, pharmaceutical production and material handling applications where space efficiency, safety of operation and hygiene are all important considerations.

Our drum motor selection includes mild steel drum motors for standard industrial applications, stainless steel drum motors for wash down areas and energy efficient drum motors for continuous duty operation. The sealed design prevents dust, moisture and product spillage from damaging the internal components; this is a common occurrence in many industries located within Gujarat State. Properly balanced rotation of the drum motor, controlled rise in temperature and the ability to produce uniform torque will result in a consistent speed of the conveyor belt even after extended use.

We build our drum motors to promote easy installation by providing accurately crowned pulleys to maintain belt tracking while utilizing proper bearing support and reliable sealing methods to keep dirt and moisture out of the motor thus minimizing maintenance. For conveyor manufacturers located in Ahmedabad and facility operators located throughout India, drum motors provide less alignment work, less wasted energy and an increased level of safety while providing consistent application performance through real-world production environments.
