WILMINGTON, N.C. (February 2, 2005) —Rulmeca Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of Motorized Pulleys for bulk handling, recently announced they will assemble Motorized Pulleys in Wilmington, North Carolina beginning June 2005. The pulleys, which are built specifically for belt conveyors, are designed with the motor and gearbox hermetically sealed in the steel shell, making them compact, reliable, and safe in harsh environmental conditions. “Our customers cannot always wait weeks for Motorized Pulleys to ship from our factory in Germany,” said Rulmeca Corporation President, Mike Gawinski.
“So, assembling pulleys at our Wilmington facility will enable us to ship key items within 48 hours.”Applications include all bulk conveyor operations. Rulmeca Motorized Pulleys generally have fewer frictional losses from the electrical motor to the shell than exposed drives allowing efficiencies up to 97%. Maintenance is minimal, requiring an oil change only every 10,000 operating hours or five years of single shift operation.
Being lighter than most conveyor drives, Rulmeca Motorized Pulleys can help reduce the conveyor’s structure cost because the lighter weight is distributed evenly within the conveyor frame.For more information about Rulmeca Corporation, contact Mike Gawinski at 910-794-9294; fax 910-794-9296; write RULMECA Corporation at 6740-E Netherlands Drive, Wilmington, NC 28405; or visit www.rulmecacorp.com .
