Interchangeable Profiled Sleeves Mean No Need to Change Drum Motor

As part of VDG’s (Van der Graaf) SSV line of sanitary drum motors for food processing and handling conveyor applications, the new SSV-XP enables users to change out the profiled sleeve to enable different styles of modular belts to be used with the same drum motor.


   Watch VDG's video on YouTube that shows how easily the profiled sleeve can be exchanged.

Unlike typical conveyor apparatus, with exposed conveyor drives, VDG’s SSV series has no external moving parts, eliminating harborage areas for bacteria and providing a more sanitary way to drive conveyor belts. The all-316-stainless-steel, IP69K-rated construction withstands washdown and also eliminates the maintenance required on external components of a conventional conveyor drive, including the motor, gear reducer, sprockets, and chain.
