The new belt drive for the MDDK/L roller mill offers
substantial advantages over the gear drive version
(see box at right).
This power transmission is easy to install and makes
maintenance very much easier and more cost efficient.
Buhler scope of supply:
The retrofit kit is supplied complete with all the
components required for installation, including conversion
instructions.
The assembly kit includes 1 spare belt. For the
conversion, one installation set is required per plant.
The price does not include installation.
Time requirement for conversion is two to three hours per
roll pair.
CAUTION: Applies to MDDK/L
The roll speed must be checked for the correct torque and
if necessary be modified at the drive end. Graphic 1
shows the minimum speed, which must always be
reached. If the roll motor power is known, it will be
possible to derive the speed. If the speed is too low, this
will reduce the belt service life.
CAUTION: Applies to MDDL
In order to prevent a collision between the drive belts of
the top mating pass (1) and the transmission (2), the drive
belt must not go beyond the center (3) of the roller mill
(Graphic 2). If necessary, the drive motor may have to be
slightly moved.
