SUMMARY
Installing two main drives in a single chain conveyor system is feasible and can enhance conveyor speed. Synchronization between the two motors is essential and can be achieved using inverters. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the type of motors (AC or DC), their voltage capabilities, and current specifications to ensure effective operation. Additionally, the use of variable frequency drives (VFDs) for AC motors is highlighted as a critical factor in optimizing performance.
