  • Standard Features: Features include all stainless steel construction, thermal overload protection, and options for non-standard lengths and face widths. The motors are designed to be maintenance-free, with vacuum pressure impregnation for motor longevity.
  • Options: Available options include electromagnetic brakes for precise stopping, clutch brakes for high indexing applications, and manual release backstops for easy unloading of inclined conveyors.
  • Energy & Cost Savings: Drum motors operate at 96% mechanical efficiency, offering up to 30% energy savings compared to conventional drives. They also reduce noise levels and maintenance requirements.
  • Technical Information: The document provides detailed technical data, including belt pull calculations, horsepower tables for different conveyor operations, and electric motor full load amp charts.
Conclusion: Van der Graaf Drum Motors offer a compact, efficient, and reliable solution for powering belt conveyors, with significant benefits in terms of energy savings, safety, and maintenance reduction.
Additional Specifications: The document includes specifications for the TM315 and TM400 series drum motors, detailing horsepower (HP), revolutions per minute (RPM), velocity, no-load velocity, belt pull, and torque for each model. It also specifies minimum face width, weight, and performance metrics.
Performance Metrics: Key metrics include velocity (ft/min), no-load velocity, belt pull (lbs), and torque (lbs).
Design and Weight: Specifications include minimum face width and corresponding weight, with all drum motors available in standard voltages and electrically reversible.
Parts Description: A detailed list of parts for the TM315 series is provided, including components like shell, end flange, gear housing, motor flange, and various bearings and seals.
TM400 and TM500A60 Series Specifications: The TM400 series features a 16.0" diameter, while the TM500A60 series has a 20.0" diameter. Each series includes models with different horsepower and RPM specifications, with detailed weight and face width information.
Procedures: The document outlines calculation procedures for belt pull and energy consumption, providing formulas and a comparative analysis of energy consumption between conventional conveyors and those driven by Van der Graaf drum motors.
Energy and Cost Savings Analysis: The analysis shows that drum motors have higher efficiency (83.5%) compared to conventional systems (55.2%), resulting in significant energy and cost savings, including annual energy savings of 9,562 kWh and cost savings of $762 per year.
Tables and Graphs: Tables include horsepower requirements for moving empty belts, loads horizontally, and lifting loads vertically. Graphs illustrate energy consumption and cost comparisons.
Recommendations: The document recommends using Van der Graaf drum motors for improved energy efficiency and cost savings in conveyor systems, emphasizing the importance of motor and gear reducer efficiency.
Horsepower Tables for Bulk Conveyors: A detailed table lists horsepower requirements for bulk conveyors, indicating power needed to convey materials at various rates, with horsepower values ranging from 10 to 1000 hp and conveyance rates from 1.14 to 2280.0 tons per hour.
Company Overview: Van der Graaf is a leading global supplier of conveyor belt drives, offering innovative, quality, and low-maintenance products for various industries, including mining and food processing.

The Van der Graaf Drum Motor is a one component conveyor drive which houses all components internally, eliminating the need for external components like motor, gearbox, sprockets, chain, chain guard and pillow block bearings. This reduces operating and maintenance costs, improves safety conditions, and because it is completely sealed our drum motors can operate in extreme environmental conditions. The rugged design of the Van der Graaf drum motor provides the end user with a quieter environment, space savings, efficiency and reliability with virtually no maintenance. The drum motor offers a versatile,...

OPTIONS ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKE (RTM) The drum motor with an all-internal electromagnetic brake provides accurate and positive stopping engagement. The motor and all rotating components come to a complete stop when power is disengaged. When power is engaged, the brake releases, allowing the motor to operate as designed. The RTM drum motor is bi-directional and ideal for cycles up to 40 starts and stops per minute. Typical applications include baggage handling, manufacturing and assembly lines, palletizing and package operations, among others. CLUTCH BRAKE (CBTM) The patented Clutch Brake Drum Motor...
