Rulmeca Moving ahead. UNIT HANDLING APPLICATIONS FOR DRUM MOTORS Standard conveyor belts To drive standard belts using the friction between the drum motor shell and the underside of the conveyor belt. The belt, which passes over the drum motor works as a heat sink, taking the heat produced by the electric motor and allowing it to dissipate away. Plastic modular belts For applications that involve the use of plastic modular belts, it is necessary to cover the drum motor with a profiled lagging or to fit laser cut profiled sprockets to the shell of the pulley, to provide positive drive to the belt. Please...
