Motors & Drives Information

With motor, transmission, and bearings totally enclosed in drum shell, Series BLD conveyor drive systems produce noise levels of 50 dB, meeting OSHA requirements. Rated from 0.11-7.5 hp and running at 96% efficiency, drum motors range in diameter from 3.18-12.6 in. with face widths from 7.8-67 in. Belt speeds range from 23-1,369 fpm. Mounted with 2 brackets, sealed-for-life units are virtually maintenance-free and protected from water, dirt, dust, and chemicals.

BDL America, a manufacturer of internally-motorized drum motors, will be highlighting their complete line of products that provide maintenance-free operation in a variety of conveyor belt applications at ProMat 2005, Booth #355, January 10-13, McComnick Place South, Chicago, III. The BDL drum motor, also referred to as a motorized pulley, is an advanced and highly efficient conveyor drive system where the motor, transmission and bearings are totally enclosed within drum shell. Power from the motor is transmitted through the gearbox which is coupled to a geared rim fixed to the drum and housing.

Mounted with just two (2) brackets, there is no need for multiple parts -- and multiple vendors. Ordering and installation are quick and easy requiring less than half the time needed to install external drives. The drum motor requires no external component maintenance.
