MTS Drum Motors
In the food industry, small changes can have a big impact.
Our drum motors help you design high-performing, compact, hygienic, and reliable machines with minimal maintenance - fully configurable to fit your application.
Synchronous technology delivers higher efficiency and lower power loss, while the fully enclosed design protects the technology inside the drum and saves space.
Our engineers support the right configuration based on real application requirements — not just headline specifications.
Power & Torque Upgrades
A reshaped drum motor range – now with power, torque, and combined upgrades.
As part of reshaping our DriveTech portfolio, we now offer targeted power, torque, and combined power & torque upgrades. These options are developed for applications with long cable runs, high voltages, heavy loads, and inclined conveyors.
Power upgrades (P) ensure stable output under peak voltages without the need for additional filters. Torque upgrades (T) deliver controlled starting force and consistent performance when handling heavy loads. Combined power & torque upgrades (PT) address both electrical and mechanical demands, enabling smooth start-up and reliable operation – even under high load and at inclines.

Thermal protection & material variants
Thermal protection
The MTS drum-motor is fitted with a PT1000 thermal sensor. If necessary, we can also offer a PTC thermal sensor. The temperature sensor must be monitored by an external circuit, such as a frequency converter which switches off the power supply to the motor, if the maximum temperature is exceeded.
Frequency converters and servo drives
MTS drum motors are synchronous permanent magnet motors and must be operated using a frequency converter or servo drive between the mains supply and the motor.
