Conveyor platform for cold zones

INTERROLL recently introduced its new Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP) designed for chilled and deep-freeze environments. The machine made its debut at ANUGA Foodtec (Cologne, March 2018).  A decentrally controlled RollerDrive drive technology expands the range of applications of the company’s conveyor solutions. Deep-freeze logistics can now benefit from an efficient, zero pressure accumulation (ZPA) material flow down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. This can reduce manual labour in deep-freeze temperatures and leads to a better and safer working environment.

The new deep-freeze MCP offers flexible and scalable configuration with standard plug-and-play components. It accommodates all conveying needs and offers flexibility for future growth. End users benefit from low energy consumption leading to savings in operational cost. The new solution has been tested in several conditions and ambient temperatures and has proven to be a solution perfectly suitable to harsh temperatures.

The company highlights the new generation of drum motors, which Interroll is now expanding with more diameter options. The DM0113 and the DM0138 are the latest additions to its range of drum motors also featured at ANUGA FoodTec. These new generation of drives offers stronger shafts and ball bearings that ensure particularly long service life and the extremely stable planetary gear design allows high torques to be transferred with low levels of operating noise. All of the new-generation drum motors comply with the requirements of IP69K, the highest degree of hygiene protection; that means they are significantly quicker and easier to clean in comparison to traditional gear motors. -Source: Interroll
