***Brushless RollerDrive Increases Efficiency and Lowers Noise***
WILMINGTON, NC: Providing a cost saving solution by reducing energy consumption in the product life cycle, Interroll has developed a high performance brushless RollerDrive that minimizes the after run of products enabling the user to stop packages precisely. Designated the EC100, the RollerDrive is equipped with a zero motion hold (ZMH) electro magnetic rotor brake and a re engineered gear box for higher efficiency and lower noise. The EC100 RollerDrive is ideal for conveying in postal, distribution center or light pallet handling applications.
