Lenke's VP 9000 checkweighers are used in the poultry and meat processing industry and in the area of processing of packaged products such as burgers, chicken, bacon, meatballs etc.
By integrating both Interroll RollerDrive and Drum Motors, our customer Lenke has developed equipment which is unique in design and provides many advantages for its customers.
Designed and manufactured in stainless steel for food industry applications, the  individual inline checkweigher's incorporate an Interroll EC110 RollerDrive with toothed sprocket for belt drive, plus two 80mm dia (0.085Kw, 3-phase) Drum Motors rated IP66.
These compact, space saving sealed drives offer the highest levels of hygiene and food safety at every stage of the packaging process, with high energy efficiency and total reliability in operation.
These Interroll drives are incorporated in a checkweigher with a resolution of only 1 gram in a range between 5g and 5 kg. The capacity of this machine is to verify 150 pcs/min.

Mr. Helson Santos, who was responsible for this project, reported on the many advantages that Interroll drives offered Lenke in the design and development of its new inline checkweighers:

• Manufacturing cost reduced by 25% per module
• Interroll offer 'one stop shop' purchasing for drive systems - saving costs and valuable management time
• IP66 rated stainless steel drives provide maximum protection and hygiene
• Drum Motors are simple to install and maintenance free
• Provides for a smooth transfer with less vibration
• Aesthetic value - compared to conventional geared motor drive systems

Space savings and cost reductions
Mr. Helson Santos continued, "With Drum Motors and RollerDrives from Interroll, Lenke achieved the best design solution possible, achieving costs reductions with space saving components that offered clean hygienic lines with no maintenance requirements."

"Using the RollerDrive to drive conveyor belts is a lightweight solution with low vibration noise, easy cleaning and maintenance, making it the ideal model for the environment in which our equipment works. The accuracy of our scales combined with this type of drive resulted in a simple design and the best value for us and our customers", Helson Santos added.
