VDG is the world’s leader in the design and manufacturing of drum motors for belt conveyors, with a strong focus on safety, reliability, and longevity. VDG adheres to a simple principle: provide reliable belt drive solutions to food processing industries through innovation, continuous research and development, and precision manufacturing. Manufacturing in-house for 40 years in USA and Canada using cutting-edge production technology and automation, VDG ensures product quality, short lead-times, and after-sales service.

The VDG Drum Motor is a one-component conveyor drive that has all drive components, including the new premium-efficiency electric motor, gear reducer, and bearings, enclosed inside the drive drum, increasing mechanical and electrical efficiency, optimizing space, and promoting operator safety. Designed for 80,000 hours of continuous operation before maintenance, VDG Drum Motors reduce maintenance and operational costs and increase productivity. VDG Drum Motors are available in a range of diameter sizes, belt speeds, horsepower, and industry-specific options and features to suit various belt conveyor applications.

SSV Series Drum Motors, designed specifically for food processing and handling belt conveyor applications, drive modular, wire mesh, and monolithic conveyor belts without using sprockets. The belt profile is either machined directly on the drive drum or on the exchangeable profiled sleeve (XP). The profiled sleeve on the SSV-XP Drum Motor can be easily removed and exchanged for another sleeve to match the belt required on the conveyor. Therefore, the same drum motor can be used when switching to another belt for a different type of processing.

All SSV Series Drum Motors feature an IP69K-rated sealing system, withstand up to 3,000 psi washdown pressure, and eliminate crevices that trap food by-products and bacterial harborage, reducing washdown time and water usage by 50%. Belt profiles are available for all major belt manufacturers.
