Drum motors, which are compact drives for belt conveyors, are available in asynchronous and synchronous models. But how do these two technologies differ and what are their benefits?
Interroll has made its modular conveyor platform fit for use in environments as cold as minus 30 degrees Celsius. Deep-freeze logistics can now benefit from a zeropressure- accumulation material flow.
Interroll and the University of Parma carried out a comprehension between two drive technologies in the food processing industry: gear motors against drum motors.
Traditionally, many belt conveyors are driven by gear motors, including those used in the food industry. Yet motor rollers, referred to as drum motors, are growing in popularity as a modern alternative.
For the packaging and delivering of baby food, traceability is of particular importance. Regular inspections of the complex conveyor systems prevent errors.
The packaging and delivery of baby food demands special planning. It must be handled aseptically and adapted to the national food regulatory requirements.
