Photo of the Week: Chain and Sprocket Drive Assembly in 3D

Today’s photo highlights a chain and sprocket drive assembly in 3D.

The chain and sprocket drive is ideal for small rotary drums running up to 75 horsepower. It is a cost-effective option, and easy to run.

Here’s how it works: a large sprocket wrapped around the rotary drum has a chain on it that runs to the reducer and motor. The motor turns the gear box, which then spins a small sprocket attached by a chain to the large sprocket.

From rotary dryers and coolers, to rotary kilns and agglomerators, FEECO offers a variety of drive assemblies to suit the requirements of the drum at hand. If you are in need of a custom rotary drum, contact us today!
