Manufacturer of Heavy Duty High Precision

Drum Motors

• Modern manufacturing facilities in the US, Canada, and Holland

utilizing the latest technology and expertise.

Company Profile

What Is a Drum Motor

The Van der Graaf Drum Motor is a one component

conveyor drive in which the motor, gear drive, and all

moving parts are enclosed inside the drum.

Design Benefits

The Drum Motor Design:

Increases

o Versatility

o Space utilization

o Durability

o Production

o Safety

Reduces

o Maintenance

o Downtime

o Noise

o Energy &

Operating Costs

Drum Motor Assembly

Comparison to Conventional

The Drum Motor offers a much less complex and

more efficient way to power your belt conveyor.

Savings Compared to Conventional

Drum Motor Features

• Lubricant/Cooling An oil bath ensures that heat is

transferred through the lubricant,

onto the drum, to dissipate on

the belt.

Drum Motor Features

• Hermetic Sealing Van der Graaf manufacturers

and engineers seals that are

specific to the industry to provide

a leak proof environment.

Drum Motor Features

• Honed and Ground Gears Using alloy steel, gears are

machined and honed to

AGMA/DIN6 standards and

exceed OSHA low-noise

requirements.

Electric Motor

• Van der Graaf designs Drum Motors specific to each

environment.

• The drum motor can be supplied in all standard voltage or

any nonstandard voltage and frequency for three phase or

single phase applications.

Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI)

Lagging

• Urethane Utilizes a unique ribbon flow method of

coating cylinders with high durometer

urethane.

• Hot Bond A vulcanization process that adheres

colandered rubber to the exterior of a

drum motor shell. The result is a

seamless, durable, and tear resistant

finish.

• Ceramic Rubber lagging with ceramic tiles

embedded improves traction and

abrasion resistance. Typically used for

larger HP drives that work in harsher

environments.

Tungsten Carbide Infusion

• As an alternative to conventional lagging, Van der Graaf has

developed a traction coating layer of infused tungsten particles

embedded into the surface of the drum using a thermo spray

system.

Range of Drum Motors

• Available in both standard material and stainless steel, Van der

Graaf Drum Motors can be used in all applications in order to

enhance any bulk or material handling system.

• Varieties include:

o Diameter Sizes

(4 – 36 inches)

o Various Belt Speeds

(3 ft/min – 1800 ft/min)

o Horsepower

(0.10 – 250)

Sanitary Series Drum Motors (SSV)

o Ideal for the food industry

o Essential to conveyors requiring

sanitary wash down

• SSV Labyrinth Sealing System

o Prevents contaminants from

penetrating the sealing integrity

of the unit.

o SSV drum motors are capable of

handling 2000psi wash down

pressure.

Cross Drive

• This design has all the

benefits of the Drum

Motor combined with the

flexibility of an external

electric motor for quick

and easy installation.

• The Extreme Duty Mining Series

Drum Motor is a robust unit for

mining applications able to

withstand heavy shock loads.

• Engineered for the harshest

environments.

Diameter: 20 – 36 inches

Horsepower: 50 – 250

Extreme Duty

Industries

• The Van der Graaf Drum Motor is built to meet the requirements of

any application. Our industries include:

o Airport Baggage Handling

o Postal/Parcel

o Food

o Mining & Aggregate

ROI Summary

• Reduced maintenance and downtime – only an oil change every 50,000 hours

• Enhanced space utilization – fit more lines into less floor or overhead space

• With 96% mechanical efficiency, power savings of over 30% are possible

• AGMA/DIN 6 gear standards reduce operating noise

• Enhanced operator safety by eliminating external moving parts

Principle

Van der Graaf adheres to one principle:

“Design a superior product to meet

customer needs in a changing marketplace”

As a result VDG has been the premiere supplier of conveyor

belt drives for over 60 years worldwide and continues to

answer the demands of the material handling industry.
