Drum motors for driving a conveyor belt are disclosed. In some embodiments, the drum motors include a shell having a polymer body such as wax-filled cast nylon.

Drum motors having a polymer body shell

Conveyor belt drive roller

A conveyor belt system and a conveyor belt drive roller and method of making in which the drive roller comprises a cylindrical body having a circumference and opposite ends, a plurality of annular drive sections axially spaced apart by annular relief lands. The annular drive sections have circumferentially spaced apart lug grooves formed by raised portions extending parallel to the body axis. The lug grooves have opposite ends communicating with an annular relief land for discharge of waste material. A drive shaft with left and right knurling at opposite ends is press fitted into the body of the drive roller creating a balance resistance to movement of the shaft in opposite directions.

Conveyor belt positive drive roller

The current invention is a conveyor belt system and a conveyor belt drive roller and method of making in which the drive roller comprises a cylindrical body having a circumference and opposite ends, a plurality of lug grooves in the cylinder located around the circumference of the cylinder and a belt slot in the cylinder located around the circumference of the cylinder. It is preferred that the belt slot is located adjacent the lug grooves and deeper than the lug grooves. It is also preferred that the lug grooves are formed with inverted tapers which deepen towards the belt slot.
