The VDG SSV-XP drum motor for food processing and handling belt conveyor applications drives modular, wire mesh, and monolithic thermoplastic conveyor belts without using sprockets. It features an interchangeable machined profiled sleeve that enables different styles of modular belts to be used with the same drum motor.
The SSV-XP drum motor is a new patented design that has the belt profile machined directly onto the interchangeable sleeve, which is easily removed and exchanged for another profiled sleeve to match the belt required on the conveyor without changing the drum motor, offering processors the flexibility to use the same drum motor when a changeover to another belt is required for a different type of food processing.
The all-316-stainless steel SSV-XP drum motor features an IP69K-rated sealing system, withstands washdown pressure up to 3,000 psi, and is designed for 80,000 hr of continuous operation before maintenance. It is available in a range of diameter sizes, belt speeds, horsepower, and industry-specific options and features to suit various food processing and packaging belt conveyor applications.
