The advantage of using drum motors is that they are high- ly robust, totally enclosed and require no maintenance whatsoever, thus reducing downtime for maintenance associated with conventi- onal drives. Major benefits can be found in food pro- cessing and pharmaceutical industries where hygiene is a major concern. The drum motor, when produced in stainless steel, has smooth clean surfaces, which is easy to clean and suffers no harm- ful effects from high pressure cleaning using chemical spray or steam. An added bonus is that there is virtually nowhere for bacteria to hide! Drum motors are used in a wide range of conveyor manufacturer sys- tems and material handling equipment as well as machi-nes without industrial conveyor belts, for example: as powered ver-tical transfer rollers, powered rotary industrial brushes and powered pallet rollers. They can even be used as powered pulleys or bobbins for the conveyance of rolled commodities such as pa- per, cloth, and aluminium foil. Apart from their standard ran- ge of AC electric powered drum motors BDL also produce hydraulic drum motor drives and micro roll AC, DC and EDC motorised rollers. Drum motors are available from Ø 80 mm to Ø 315 mm complete with op- tional accessories e.g. brakes, back stops, idler pulleys, moun- ting brackets, belt tension bra- ckets, profiled lagging and dri- ve wheels for driving modular belts and industrial chains, Frequency converters and industrial encoders. In fact, BDL transports materials all over the world ranging from simple grains of rice to trucks!
