Interroll Introduces High Performance Brushless Motor Conveyor Roller



Wilmington, N.C., January 10, 2005. Providing the material handling industry with an economical and safe alternative to chain and belt driven conveyors, Interroll announced its new high performance brushless roller, designated the Interroll RollerDrive and DriveControl HPBL.

The 24V DC-powered roller was designed to meet the market's demand for moving unit loads with improved control capabilities at higher speeds. The new RollerDrive HPBL provides optimal power, reliability and endurance.

"Interroll has pioneered RollerDrive technology, enabling a safer and more efficient alternative to standard chain, line-shaft and sprocket conveyor solutions," said Ken Bobick, Global Product Manager for Interroll RollerDrives. "This new generation of motorized rollers has been designed for a wide range of applications, including the pharmaceuticals industry, distribution centers and order picking systems. High speed and intelligent electronics, coupled with a long service life, make the Interroll RollerDrive HPBL the perfect solution for any high-performance system."

With conveyor speeds of up to 394 ft./min. (2.0 m/sec), the Interroll RollerDrive HPBL increases material flow rates considerably, at weights of up to 110 lbs. (50 kg). Due to the optimized motor-gearbox configuration, noise emission levels of less than 60 dB can be achieved. Boasting a service life of 20,000 hours, this state-of-the-art component is synonymous with reliability and streamlined operational costs. It is available in steel self-colored, zinc-plated or with stainless steel tubing with a diameter of 1.97 in. (50 mm).

The four-quadrant controller permits controlled accelerations and decelerations as well as constant conveyor speeds over the entire weight range. The integrated control system featuring intermittent locked-motor monitoring ensures a safe shutdown in the event of an overload and automatic restarting.

The Interroll RollerDrive HPBL offers an array of pioneering features. As a result of this state-of-the-art functionality, possible overloads of the electronic circuitry and mechanical systems are a thing of the past. The lower risk of outages translates into higher efficiency levels.
