SSV Series Drum Motors

The VDG Drum Motor has all drive components, including the electric motor, gear reducer, and bearings, enclosed and protected inside the drum, increasing energy efficiency, operator safety, and optimizing space. Designed for 80,000 hours of continuous operation before maintenance, the VDG Drum Motor minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance and operational costs.

For sanitary food processing and handling applications, VDG’s all-stainless steel SSV Series Drum Motor features an IP69K sealing system and withstands pressure washdown up to 3,000 psi. For modular conveyor belts, the SSV Drum Motor has the belt profile machined directly onto the drum to drive the belt without using sprockets. The new SSV-XP Drum Motor has the belt profile machined directly on a removable drive sleeve, which can be removed and exchanged for another profiled sleeve, offering the flexibility to use the same drum motor when switching to another belt for a different type of processing.
