Variable Frequency Drive to control drum rotation speed
Variable Speed Drum Rollers are equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) with motor starter and disconnect. Mount VFD on a wall and control drum rolling speed from 1 to 38 RPM.		 Features of Morse Stationary Drum Rollers
Each drum rolls on 4 drive and 4 idler wheels. Models are available with various drum rotating speeds.
  • Variable Speed End-Over-End Drum Rollers utilize a variable frequency drive (VFD shown left) to rotate your drum at any speed from 1 to 38 RPM. Select the best speed for each material. Enables you to use high speed for initial mixing, then low speed for prolonged agitation. Variable speed drum rollers are ideal for experimental use or where you need to blend a variety of materials. The VFD includes motor starter and disconnect. Mount the VFD on a wall or on the outside of Safety Enclosure required by OSHA.

  • Models with fixed drum rotating speed of 10, 20 or 30 RPM. The 20 RPM speed is effective for mixing most liquids. Customer supplies motor controls.

Mixing contents inside your sealed drum eliminates the risks of spills and splashing of dangerous contents on workers during transfer, and greatly reduces clean-up, and the risk of contamination. It also eliminates use of special mixing vessels.

Note: OSHA Requirement for enclosure with safety interlockInstall all Morse Rotators in accordance with local requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock, so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened. Power connections and motor controls must also comply with applicable local codes.

For OSHA compliance in the USA, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212(a)(4) "Barrels, containers, and drums. Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place."

Advantages of Variable Speed Drive controller:

  • The soft start / stop reduce mechanical and electric stress prolonging life of equipment
  • Ability to integrate into factory automation
  • Energy savings
  • Low motor starting current
  • Simple installation
  • High power factor

Programmable digital and analog I/O allow the drive to be configured for many application specific tasks such as multiple preset speeds, electronic braking and motor jogging, to name a few.

The integral disconnect switch offers the ability to isolate the motor for maintenance and servicing. Also the disconnect switch handle is lockable and is made of red and yellow materials for high visibility.
