Friction drive belts
Applications with friction drive belts use the friction between the drum motor shell and belt to drive the belt. Flat belts are one type of friction drive belt. In these
applications the motor is cooled by the belt.
Plastic modular belts
Applications with plastic modular belts are driven positively: the profiled lagging or sprockets of the drum motor shell fit perfectly into the profile of the plastic modular
belt. In order to prevent overheating of the drum motor, use either a cool-running drum motor or a standard drum motor with frequency converter.
Thermoplastic non-modular belts
Thermoplastic belts are another kind of positive drive belt. In this case the profile of the lower side of the belt fits into the profiled lagging of the drum motor shell. In
order to prevent overheating of the drum motor, use either a cool-running drum motor or a standard drum motor with frequency converter.
Non-belt applications
Some applications do not use belts or they can be fitted with a brush for cleaning applications for example. In order to prevent overheating of the drum motor, use either a
cool-running drum motor or frequency converter.
