Tech-Roll

Tech-Roll, Inc. has revolutionized conveyor power transmission through its patented hydraulic drum motor technology. Founded by inventor Ulf Hansson, our company has specialized in developing compact, durable motorized pulleys since the early 2000s. Originally designed for the harsh conditions of the fishing industry's saltwater environments, our innovative solutions have expanded to serve meat and poultry processing, wood manufacturing, agricultural operations, and material handling sectors globally. Our hydraulic drum motors eliminate traditional conveyor system challenges by integrating the motor within the roller itself, creating space-saving designs that reduce maintenance requirements by up to 70%. With manufacturing based in Bellingham, Washington, we maintain strict quality control while delivering products that meet HACCP and OSHA compliance standards.

Our engineering team brings decades of combined experience in hydraulic systems and food processing equipment, ensuring every motorized pulley delivers consistent torque performance in wet, dusty, or high-pressure environments. The company's commitment to innovation remains evident through continuous improvements to stainless steel construction and explosion-proof designs that serve hazardous locations. Our customer support team provides comprehensive repair services through factory-authorized rebuild centers, maintaining equipment longevity through documented service procedures and replacement part availability. This combination of technical expertise, industry-specific adaptations, and reliable performance has established Tech-Roll as a trusted partner for critical conveyor applications worldwide.
