Belt Conveyor Motor Rollers (Drum Motors)
These are the drum-style motor rollers that sit inside the head pulley of a belt conveyor, including oil-cooled models such as the DM82i. The whole drive — motor, gearbox and pulley — becomes one sealed cylinder under the belt.
Belt Conveyor Motor Roller models we manufacture
The problem this group solves
A belt conveyor with an external gearmotor loses floor space to the drive package and exposes a chain or coupling to the same dust and wash-down water as the belt. A drum motor removes both.
How to choose
Specify the pulley diameter and face to suit your belt width, then the speed and power. Oil cooling is used where the duty is continuous and the ambient temperature is high.
Typical applications
- Food and packaging belt conveyors with wash-down duty
- Compact belt sections where a side-mounted drive will not fit
- Baggage and parcel belt lines
- Equipment builds where the drive must be fully enclosed

Frequently Asked Questions
What is oil cooling for?
Oil inside the drum carries heat from the motor to the shell, which lets the unit run continuously at a higher output than an air-cooled drum of the same size.
Does the drum motor need lagging?
Rubber lagging is added where belt grip is marginal — inclines, wet belts or light loads.
