Market position

The RULMECA Group is a component manufacturer hereunder incorporating our range of rollers/idlers, motorized pulleys, pulleys and other components such as belt cleaners and covers. RULMECA believe that by focusing on our “component” business, and by doing it well, we will be able to offer a service and application knowledge second to none. This is all finally to the benefit of our customers. RULMECA are not entering the market of making or installing conveyors but prefer to stay focused on component business which allows us to bring value to the market and to our customers, whether they may be smaller or larger players in the field of conveyor manufacturing, system engineering or indeed End-Users.

Motorized Pulleys for Belt Conveyors

The Rulmeca Motorized Pulley was first produced in 1953 specifically for belt conveyor systems. The aim was to produce an extremely compact, totally enclosed and highly efficient belt conveyor drive, resistant to dust, water, oil, grease or harmful substances. A Motorized Pulley which would be quick and simple to install and would require virtually no maintenance. These aims were achieved and today the Rulmeca Motorized Pulley is considered to be one of the most reliable and effective belt conveyor drives available throughout the world. The Motorized Pulley is a highly efficient geared motor drive, which is hermetically sealed within a steel cylindrical shell. The shell, which is usually crowned to ensure central belt tracking, is fitted with bearing housings incorporating precision bearings, double lipped seals and rotates about a static pair of shafts. The motor stator is fixed to the shafts and the motor winding cables pass through one of the shafts, eliminating the need for slip rings and brushes. The squirrel cage induction motor, manufactured in steel laminate, is machined concentric to high tolerances and designed to give 200% starting torque for 3 phase versions. The rotor pinion is coupled directly to the gearbox. The gearbox transmits torque to the shell through a geared rim and provides a highly efficiency motor with very little frictional losses. The Motorized Pulley is oil filled, which acts as both a lubricant and coolant. Heat is dissipated through the shell and the conveyor belt. All vital parts are CNC machined!
