VDG New Premium-Efficiency GrizzlyDrive Drum Motors

Designed for belt conveyors operating in extreme and abrasive environments where performance, reliability, and durability matter most, the GrizzlyDrive^® Drum Motor features a heavy-duty electric motor, heavy-duty spherical roller bearings, and reinforced shafts. It also features robust mechanical seals that inhibit abrasive dust and water penetration, and gear reducer to absorb heavy shock loads and high vibration.

All GrizzlyDrive® components, including the electric motor, gear reducer, and bearings, are enclosed inside the drum and protected from the environment. VDG’s new premium-efficiency electric motor operates at low temperatures, increasing the lubrication viscosity of all components inside the drum, increasing reliability, and extending the service life of the new generation of GrizzlyDrive^® Drum Motors.

To ensure durability and longevity, VDG developed and patented an Oil Cooling-Conditioning unit for the GrizzlyDrive®. The VDG Oil Cooler-Conditioner circulates, filters, conditions, and cools the oil inside the drum in order to maintain optimal oil temperature and viscosity, averting motor failure and downtime, and the consequent costs. This unit is supplied as standard for GrizzlyDrive^® Drum Motors 75 hp and higher.

GrizzlyDrive^® Drum Motors are available up to 500 hp, with a wide range of diameters, belt speeds, lagging, and options to suit various belt conveyor applications.
