Specialized in movement: Interoll first time at SPS IPC Drives Italia

With the participation at SPS IPC Drives (Parma, Italy, May 24-26), Interroll Italy confirmed its vocation as a primary player in the world of automation. "The automation of product, process automation, the industry 4.0, the new industrial revolution have a common denominator: motion. And motion is an Interroll specialty. Our technology solutions are moving objects efficiently, sustainably, accurately, quietly. They do it in industrial dimensions and for the needs of machine manufacturers. Interroll is really an important player of everything concerning motion", Claudio Carnino, head of sales and country speaker Interroll Italy, said.

In the production process everything moves towards a production centrality. A product is made of raw material and of components that once assembled form the product, either finished or semi-finished. "The magic word is “moves”. Obviously it’s a matter of definitions and we have to agree on them. We are also in the field of semantics, but without a doubt if we don’t move things, components, we cannot produce anything", Carnino added.

Motiion is synonymous with Interroll. The rollers are the start of the company, RollerDrive and controls and DrumMotor are the logical evolution. Interroll is a leading manufacturer in the motorized rollers segment. RollerDrives and the Control modules follow a simple principle: a motor for all applications.

The RollerDrives and control are used in automatic material handling. Are based on the principle of decentralized drive and can be used in a targeted and tailored to the specific needs of single plants. The RollerDrive is a brushless motor VCC 24 integrated in a conveyor roller which is used in various transport systems. Many years of experience and hundreds of thousands of 24 V motorized rollers in operation made Interroll the leading manufacturer in the industry. A wide range of control units allows simple and flexible integration in various applications.

Beating heart of plants and automation systems, the synchronous DrumMotor provides one of the most powerful and energy efficient, belt conveyor drives available on the market. One of the major markets for Interroll’s products and solutions is the food processing and packaging industry.

The product combines the action of a drum motor with the high efficiency of a synchronous motor with permanent magnet and the end result is an extremely compact, high torque and dynamic drive with an excellent total energy efficiency by 82% (89% motor and 92,95% transmission gear) running at a maximum temperature of 45°C.

This product is ideal for aseptic applications and obtained, after a long series of tests, the certification by the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG). This latter certification is a special pride of Interroll as it is a differentiator to all motion providers in the world of food. In addition to hygienic standards EHEDG certification, the synchronous  DrumMotor also met the strict requirements for manufacturing materials in use in the food industry and regulated by USDA/FDA and the EU regulation EC 1935/2004.
