Electric Pulley Drive (Motorized Drum Motor) for Belt Conveyors

The Kunwei Electric Pulley also known as a Motorized Drum or Drum Motor is a compact conveyor drive unit where the electric motor and gear reducer are totally enclosed within the pulley shell. Designed to replace bulky external motor systems this all in one unit saves valuable plant space and offers superior protection against dust water and corrosion making it the safest and most reliable drive solution for mobile conveyors and mining equipment.

Description

Product Overview: The "All-in-One" Drive Solution

 

Traditional conveyor drives consist of an external motor, a gearbox, a coupling, and a pulley, all mounted on a heavy base frame. This takes up space and creates safety hazards with exposed rotating shafts.

 

The Kunwei Electric Pulley (TDY75 / DY1 Series) puts everything inside the steel drum.

  • Space Saving: No external motor protruding from the side. Ideal for portable conveyors or tunnels.
  • Safety: No external chains or couplings to catch workers' clothing.
  • Durability: The internal motor runs in a sealed oil bath, protecting it 100% from outside dust, sand, and rain.

Cooling & Lubrication (Oil-Cooled Type)

 

Our standard Electric Pulleys use Direct Oil Cooling. The drum is partially filled with industrial gear oil. As the drum rotates:

  • The oil lubricates the gears and bearings continuously.
  • The oil absorbs heat from the motor and transfers it to the drum shell, which is then cooled by the conveyor belt. Note: This design means the pulley effectively cools itself while running.

Customization Options

 

  • Rubber Lagging: We highly recommend adding Diamond Pattern Rubber Lagging to the steel shell. This increases friction, prevents belt slippage in wet conditions, and sheds water.
  • Backstop (Anti-Runback): For inclined conveyors, we install an internal mechanical backstop to prevent the belt from rolling backward when power is cut.
  • Explosion Proof: For coal mines or grain elevators, we offer Ex-rated motors inside the drum.

 

Installation & Maintenance

 

  • Installation: Simply mount the two shaft ends into the conveyor frame blocks and wire the terminal box. No laser alignment of couplings is needed.
  • Oil Change: This is the only maintenance required.
  • First change: After 300 hours of operation (Break-in period).
  • Regular change: Every 6 months.
  • Tip: There are two drain/fill plugs on the side of the drum. Rotate the drum so one is at the bottom to drain.

 

FAQ

 

Q: Can I use a VFD (Inverter) with this pulley?

A: Yes, but please inform us before ordering. We need to use "Inverter-Duty" insulation for the internal motor to prevent overheating at low speeds.

 

Q: What happens if the oil leaks?

A: We use high-quality Double Lip Oil Seals. However, if you see oil leakage, stop the machine. Running without oil will burn the motor stators quickly.
