Application 026: Food processing Bornhorm, Germany
Bornhorn, based in Cappeln near Oldenburg, Germany, has placed its trust in drum motors developed by BDL Maschinenbaugesellschaft, Wassenberg, an Interroll Group company since March 2006, for all of its conveyor systems deployed within the area of meat trimming, processing and order picking.

Bornhorn has been using drum motors since 1994, the emphasis being on plant hygiene, functionality and operational reliability. The company is driven, in particular, by an
all-embracing passion for efficiency. It is because of this focus on excellence that the Cappeln based specialist often takes pole position when competing for tenders within
the international meat industry. Large-scale operators such as Velisco, Heidemark and Vion regularly tap the expertise of Bornhorn in their day-to-day business. The company's
service portfolio ranges from consulting and planning through production and assembly to system maintenance within the area of meat trimming and processing technology. It also
supplies order picking systems designed specifically for the food industry. Within this context, one of the key elements of its activities is the planning of internal logistics
from incoming raw materials to final dispatch. The projects managed by Bornhorn are highly complex, and therefore efficiency is of vital importance - which includes conveyor
technology.
You get what you pay for
When it comes to the drive technology used in its conveyor systems, Bornhorn puts its trust in Siemens S7 controllers, Siemens converters as well as particularly robust drum
motors developed by BDL Maschinenbaugesellschaft, Wassenberg. State-of-the-art components such as these don't come cheap. The price of a BDL drum motor is just one of many factors
considered by Bornhorn in its overall assessment. Compared with conventional drive systems, drum motors are more expensive. However, if one considers the total cost of system
engineering and the ongoing operational costs as well as the advantages in terms of hygiene and durability, the natural choice will be to use the drum motor solution.
Why Drum Motors from the Interroll Group?
"BDL Maschinenbaugesellschaft, now an Interroll Group company, supplies the world's most durable drum motors in the small diameter range (80 mm to 135 mm). This is of
particular importance in the case of conveyor systems for medium loads and slimline designs. No other company supplies products of comparable quality," says Arnold Bornhorn,
Managing Director of Bornhorn. With this in mind, Arnold Bornhorn was quick to congratulate Interroll for its latest strategic move, which has given the group access to
far-reaching expertise in this specialist field
What our customer says
"We thoroughly tested every single drum motor, a process which included disassembly and reassembly. BDL motors were head and shoulders above the rest.
