According to Isaak Newton (1643-1727)

the centrifugal force exerted on a

rotating body is an inertial force that
increases with rotational speed squared,
separation & process and hence, can be described as potential
energy.

HILLER DecaTorque -
full hydraulic drive

Bowl and scroll are each driven by a hydraulic

motor. Pressurised oil is supplied by a power
pack with two axial piston pumps. The speeds
can be changed independently by variation of
the oil flows.

Advantages
All of the normal HILLER DecaTorque - hydraulic
drive as well as:
n
Only one electric motor on the power pack
with DOL starting and without frequency
converter
n
Variable drum speed without frequency

expectations

Ì HILLER fixed differential speed drive

systems

Bowl and scroll are driven by one common Ì

electric motor and via two vee belt drives. The
scroll is driven via a rotating gear box. The
differential speed can be adjusted by changing
the vee belt pulleys.

Advantages
n
Simple and cost effective set-up
n
Only one electric motor
n
No controls required

Í
HILLER DecaDrive

Bowl and scroll are each driven by an electric

motor with one frequency converter, which are
coupled for energy recovery. The scroll is driven
via a rotating gear box. Both speeds can be
adjusted by variation of the respective frequency.
