Drum motors, RollerDrive and controls: Interroll food industry components at Cibus Tec. Among the new products, the RollerDrive EC310 Deep Freeze.

The edition of Cibus Tec 2016 was particularly lively for Interroll, which presented its entire range of top products dedicated to the food industry, from process to packaging through to storage.
The Roller Drive EC 310 Deep Freeze - specially designed for freezing applications or for very low temperature environments - stood out among the latest and most innovative products.
A motorized roller for conveying bulk, the device is driven by brushless motor with 24 V DC, which generates a continuous power of 32 watts. The motor is integrated into a conveyor roller tube of the 1700 series and constitutes an ideal solution for a large number of conveying applications.
It is equipped with an electronic brake, which allows the use of both upward and downward sloping conveyors. Thanks to braking power recovery the system power consumption has been reduced by 30%.
The energy efficiency of the motor also ensures the perfect coordination of conveyor operating cycles without static pressure on straight or curved sections.

Hence a product designed both for the production in a cold environment as well as for the storage of frozen products or products that require low temperatures.
In addition to use in the food industry, the IP66/IP69K grade protection means the Interroll drum motors can be used in the pharmaceutical industry. All this in full accordance with EHEDG design criteria, with the ECOLAB cleaning procedure and with FDA and EC1935-2004 regulations.

At the fair, a study and a special guest

A reminder that, on the subject of drum motors, Interroll has launched an initiative in collaboration with the Department of Food Science of the University of Parma. The institute has made a comparative study between two different drive technologies, or that is traditional motors vs. Interroll drum motors. Experimentation has shown that the drum motor is particularly suited for driving food industry conveyor belts. The research results were published in a White Paper presented at Cibus Tec.
Also at Parma, Interroll received a visit from the outstanding Bike Trial athlete Vittorio Brumotti (world champion and holder of 10 acknowledged Guinness World Records). Amidst drum motors and drive rollers, in conversation with Interroll Italia commercial director and company speaker Claudio Carnino, Brumotti underlined the similarities between his own athletic performance and that of the company: associated by the same identity of values: the strongpoint of the best lies in their constant desire for improvement.
