Most conveyor systems don’t fail because of the belt.
They fail because of the drive system behind it.
Traditional motor + gearbox + chain setups have been around for decades—but they come with hidden costs: downtime, inefficiency, safety risks, and unnecessary complexity.
That’s exactly why more industries are switching to Amroll Drum Motors.
Here’s why they outperform conventional conveyor drives—every time.
1. One Compact Unit Replaces Multiple Components
A conventional conveyor drive needs:
- External motor
- Gearbox
- Couplings
- Chains or belts
- Safety guards
That’s a lot of parts. And a lot of failure points.
Amroll Drum Motors eliminate all of that.
The motor, gearbox, and bearings are fully integrated inside the drum—resulting in a compact, space-saving drive system.
What this means for you:
- Cleaner conveyor layouts
- Easy installation in tight spaces
- Ideal for retrofits and modern system designs
Less hardware. Less complexity. Better performance.
2. Lower Maintenance. Higher Uptime.
More components = more maintenance.
Conventional drives demand regular:
- Alignment
- Lubrication
- Chain tensioning
- Part replacements
And every maintenance stop costs money.
Amroll Drum Motors are fully sealed.
No exposed moving parts. No external transmission.
The result:
- Minimal maintenance
- Fewer breakdowns
- Longer service life
- Reduced operating costs
If uptime matters to your operation, this advantage alone makes the switch worth it.
3. Higher Energy Efficiency with Direct Drive
Traditional conveyor drives lose energy through:
- Chains
- Couplings
- Misalignment
- Mechanical friction
That wasted energy shows up on your power bill.
Amroll Drum Motors use direct drive technology, transferring power straight to the belt.
Why this matters:
- Lower energy consumption
- Improved conveyor efficiency
- Reduced long-term operating costs
In high-run or 24/7 operations, the energy savings add up fast.
4. Quieter, Cleaner, and Safer Operation
Noise, oil leaks, and exposed drive components aren’t just inconvenient—they’re safety risks.
Conventional drives often create:
- High noise levels
- Oil contamination
- Unsafe rotating parts
Amroll Drum Motors solve all three.
With a sealed, enclosed design, they deliver:
- Quiet operation
- Clean working environments
- Improved operator safety
This makes them ideal for airports, food processing, pharma, packaging, and automated facilities.
5. Faster Installation with Fewer Headaches
Installing a traditional conveyor drive can be time-consuming:
- Multiple components
- Precise alignment
- Custom guarding
That’s lost time before production even begins.
Amroll Drum Motors simplify everything.
Fewer components mean:
- Faster installation
- Lower labor costs
- Quicker commissioning
- Reduced project risk
For system integrators and plant engineers, this is a major win.
The Bottom Line
Conventional conveyor drives work—but they’re outdated.
Amroll Drum Motors offer a smarter, more efficient, and more reliable way to power modern conveyor systems.
If your goals are:
- Reduced downtime
- Lower operating costs
- Cleaner, safer systems
- Compact, efficient design
Then Amroll Drum Motors aren’t optional—they’re essential.
