Bulk Handling

Motorized Pulleys (Bulk)

Large-diameter drum motors for bulk: a compact sealed drive inside a 320–1000 mm drum. Load classes L/M/H/HD are chosen by diameter and belt tension.

Key parameters
diameter320–1000
power0.75–250

Applications
  • Quarries, crushing & screening plants
  • Grain storage, cement, steel, fertilizer
  • Mobile crushing & screening
  • Magnetic separators
  • Overland and discharge conveyors
Technical data
Selection logicRadial load = belt tension T1+T2 must be < max. allowable radial load for the series; increases with thick/heavy/wide belts

Selection guide
  1. 01Determine belt tension T1+T2 (radial load).
  2. 02Ensure T1+T2 is below the series' max allowable radial load.
  3. 03Refine diameter, power, torque and speed for the duty.
  4. 04Match mounting dimensions to the existing conveyor.
  5. 05Confirm operating conditions: IP, temperature, abrasion, Ex-protection.

FAQ
How to choose load class L/M/H?

By the required belt tension (T1+T2) for the chosen diameter. If tension exceeds the max allowable, move to a larger diameter or a higher class.

Suitable for abrasive and impact loads?

Yes, heavy series (H/HD) are designed for tough, irregular and extreme conditions — quarries, crushing, transfer.
