There are essentially only two types of drives available to conveyor designers and machinery builders: the drum motor, where all components are integrated into one drive package, and the external drive, where the motor and gearbox are installed separately from the conveyor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tm6\"><span class=\"tm7\">This guide explains what the difference is and compares the two drives on criteria like footprint, protection, hygiene, maintenance load, efficiency, installation complexity, and total cost of ownership. It also defines conditions when each drive type will be the better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; font_weight=&#8221;200&#8243; font_size=&#8221;d:26|tl:26|tp:24|pl:22|pp:22&#8243; el_class=&#8221;bi_textblock&#8221;]\n<h2 class=\"tm5\"><span class=\"tm6\">What Is a Drum Motor?<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;ICbox_products&#8221;]\n<p class=\"tm7\"><span class=\"tm8\">A drum motor is a self-contained electromechanical drive.

More than 60 years of experience in drum motors has made Himmel a renowned conveyor drive solutions provider in airport baggage handling, logistics automation, food production conveyor systems, bulk material transfer and many other sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tm6\"><span class=\"tm7\">The Himmel drum motor TM and the TMRVS series comply with DIN and EN manufacturing standards. The gearing inside the drum motors is manufactured with tolerances that enable a high efficiency up to 97% due to minimal friction losses and quiet operation. The drum motor housing contains a special lubricating oil circulating in the system to cool the drive components. Labyrinth geometry used inside the drum ensures protection against contamination in any demanding operating environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tm6\"><span class=\"tm7\">BEGE has been the exclusive Benelux distributor of Himmel drum motors for many years.

A drum motor will allow to keep the conveyor within its standard dimensions because it doesn\u2019t need additional floor area outside the belt width. Dynamic conveyor layouts like pallet and carton flow systems can benefit from extra space provided by a drum motor installation.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column wpex_shadow=&#8221;shadow-lg&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1783258612590{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;max600&#8243;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1785936213987{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221; font_weight=&#8221;200&#8243; font_size=&#8221;d:26|tl:26|tp:24|pl:22|pp:22&#8243; el_class=&#8221;bi_textblock&#8221;]\n<h3 class=\"tm5\"><span class=\"tm6\">Strict hygiene requirements are imposed<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;38639&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1785936249743{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;bi_textblock&#8221;]\n<p class=\"tm7\"><span class=\"tm8\">In food processing, pharmaceutical production and other industries with washing procedures performed after each day of operation, the external surface of a regular external drive can get contaminated due to inaccessible fastening bolts, cooling fins and other elements.

Special cladding of the LAT drum motors can be used to match belt grip, while integrated braking can provide additional security when working on inclinations.<\/sr7-txt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/sr7-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-slide class=\"tmvergelijk_visverwerking\" id=\"SR7_344_1-1173\" data-key=\"1173\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-txt id=\"SR7_344_1-1173-0\" class=\"sr7-layer\">Fish and seafood processing<\/sr7-txt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-txt id=\"SR7_344_1-1173-1\" class=\"sr7-layer\">Conveyor belts in fish processing factories are regularly subjected to intensive washing procedures that include using aggressive chemicals and high-pressure water.
