The right solution for your drum motor

Wear, leaking seals or power loss can limit the capacity of your conveyor and drive up maintenance costs. Is the drum motor suitable for repair, does it require an overhaul, or is replacement a better option? We assess the damage and discuss the options, costs and expected lead time with you.

Our specialists combine knowledge of electric motors, gear drives and bearing technology to diagnose the fault. We examine not only the damaged parts but also the conditions in which the motor operates. In this way, our repair advice also takes into account possible causes such as overloading or water and dirt ingress.

  • Targeted repairs for bearing and seal issues

    We replace worn bearings and damaged seals, and assess the extent of the damage. If water or dirt has entered the motor, we also check the impact on other components.

  • Making the choice between overhaul and replacement

    Overhauling may be more cost-effective than purchasing a new drum motor. We determine whether repair is technically and economically feasible. If replacement is the better option, we supply a motor to suit your conveyor and application.

  • Workshop and field service working together

    Is your drum motor difficult to access and remove? Our field engineers can take care of removal and installation. The repairs and testing are carried out in our workshop. This means you can also leave the disassembly and reinstallation to us.

  • Brand-independent and 24/7 support

    We repair and overhaul drum motors of various brands. In case of unexpected breakdown, we are available 24/7 to discuss the problem and provide the necessary support.

Tackling recurring drum motor faults

Do you keep experiencing the same fault? It’s important not only to repair the damage but also to find the root cause. Alongside the drum motor itself, we investigate factors such as belt tension, load, cooling, control systems and the operating conditions of the drive. Where necessary, we carry out a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify the underlying cause of the problem.

Based on these insights, we advise you on the repair required and recommend measures to help prevent recurrence. This increases the reliability of your drum motor and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime for your conveyor.
