Fish processor enjoys next generation drum motor

Fish processor Meralliance is using the new Interroll synchronous drum motor in its new smoked salmon slicing line. The line incorporates AB Process slicing machines with PU belt conveyors driven by synchronous drum motors to provide sequential transport and ensure the slices stay on the carrier boards.

Interroll says its space-saving 80mm diameter motor enables one drive system to suit all needs, offers excellent start-stop performance, optimum torque at all speeds, maximum acceleration/braking performance and operating temperatures of about 45°C.

Meralliance plant engineer Antoine Aveline says: “Our new production line has significantly increased productivity within the constraints of the space given and fully supports washdown procedures. The Interroll synchronous drum motor provides excellent drive and control and is ideally suited for this application – perfectly managing the stop-start operation, enables precise positioning – and is most reliable and silent in operation.”
