FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rulmeca's Dual Drive Pulley System Delivers Safer Solution, Space-SavingTwo pulley system distributes weight more evenly for bulk handling... WILMINGTON,
N.C.
(February 3, 2004)
—Rulmeca Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of motorized pulleys for
bulk handling, is highlighting the benefits of a motorized head pulley-tail
pulley system.
By utilizing this “dual drive” concept,
conveyor drive power can be supplied by two pulleys enabling a
smaller internal motor and gearbox at each end and
thereby minimizing conveyor drive size and weight.
The hermetically sealed enclosure increases system reliability while the
self-lubricating gearbox design reduces costly maintenance expense. Operator
safety is improved by the unit’s “dead shaft” and enclosed drive design that
eliminates pinch points that can cause personal injury.
Because of Rulmeca’s efficient dual drive design, the
conveyor footprint can be reduced
significantly while delivering the same amount of power and the drive weight
can be distributed more evenly with the conveyor frame. “The dual drive
concept allows those in the aggregate industry to have a conveyor drive option
that meets their space and weight requirements in two segments,”
said Rulmeca Corp. President, Mike Gawinski.
Applications include all bulk conveyor operations. Rulmeca
motorized pulleys come in a variety of standard dimensions and options to be
customized depending on application. Pulley
diameters range from 8.5"
to 31.5" with powers ranging from 0.5 to 180 HP. Maintenance is minimal,
requiring an oil change only every 10,000
operating hours or five years of single shift operation.
Rulmeca motorized pulleys are hermetically sealed and all internal
electro-mechanical components run in a continuous oil bath. This results in
lubrication of all moving parts, motor cooling, and reduced conveyor drive
noise. In applications where material abrasiveness is an issue, the
regreasable seal option will protect oil seals from premature wear.
