180° Drive Unit:
Used in conjunction with the 180° turnaround unit, the 180° drive unit is the mechanism that pulls
the chain through the system. The chain is pulled through the drive unit by a sprocket which is
powered by an electric gearmotor. The drive unit may be run in either direction, and the chain can
enter or exit through either of the two ports. The drive unit is installed at the end of the circuit
system. Typically, the drive unit is used as the final or single discharge point.
The drive unit is to be ceiling suspended or base mounted. The unit may be oriented horizontally
or vertically. For ceiling suspension, (4) 1/2”-13 thru holes are located at the top of the drive unit.
These mounting holes may be used for running through threaded rod or placing eye-bolts.
*the unit weighs app. 430 lbs (195.0 kg)
Note:
The Drive unit is shipped with a breather plug already mounted on the
gearmotor. Once the unit is installed, the black rubber seal located on
the breather MUST BE REMOVED. In addition, the oil level should
be checked. (see Equipment Lubrication pg. 16)
