INCREASE OPERATOR SAFETY

All external moving parts such as gearbox, chains, motor, chain guard and pillow block bearings that present safety hazards are eliminated.

ENHANCE SPACE UTILIZATION

Low profile of the drum motor results in a cleaner appearance and allows to fit more belt conveyor into less floor or overhead space. Allows higher density and multiple applications.

LOWER ENERGY COSTS

Van der Graaf drum motors operate at 96% mechanical efficient resulting in lower operating cost compared to conventional drives. The added efficiency of internal drive components can result in energy savings of up to 30% over conventional exposed-drive conveyors.

REDUCE NOISE LEVELS

Our gears are manufactured using high quality alloy steel, teeth cut and honed to AGMA/DIN 6 standards, reducing noise to minimal decibel levels which exceeds OSHA requirements for noise.

REDUCE MAINTENANCE & DOWNTIME

The drum motor being completely sealed with no external moving components, eliminates the need for continual adjustment and yearly maintenance. Our motors are virtually maintenance free, requiring only an oil change after 50,000 hours of operation which can be performed without removing the drum motor from the conveyor.

QUICK & EASY INSTALLATION

Less time to install than exposed conveyor drives.
