Abstract
A reactor includes a drum motor, and a roller assembly including a roller. The reactor further includes: a roller motor mechanically coupled to the roller assembly, a ring gear mechanically coupled to the roller motor, and a motor balancing system to preload tension into the drum motor belt to synchronize the drum motor and the roller motor. The reactor system further includes a consumable that is insertable into the reactor. The motor balancing system includes a drum motor belt coupled to the drum motor an arm coupled to the drum motor belt, and a spring coupled to the arm. The spring applies a tension force to the drum motor belt.
Claims20
A reactor system comprising:
- a reactor including:
- a drum motor,
- a roller assembly including a roller,
- a roller motor mechanically coupled to the roller assembly,
- a ring gear mechanically coupled to the roller motor, and
- a motor balancing system to preload tension into a drum motor belt coupled to the drum motor to synchronize the drum motor and the roller motor;
- and
- a consumable that is insertable into the reactor.
A reactor system comprising:
- a reactor including:
- a drum motor,
- a roller assembly including:
- a roller, and
- an actuator configured to selectively position the roller,
- a roller motor mechanically coupled to the roller assembly,
- a coupling mechanism to transfer rotational force from the roller motor to the roller assembly,
- a motor balancing system to preload tension into a drum motor belt coupled to the drum motor to synchronize the drum motor and the roller motor, and
- an enclosure configured to regulate at least one of temperature or light within the reactor;
- and
- a consumable that is insertable into the reactor, the consumable including a tubing wrapped around a drum.
A reactor system comprising:
- a reactor including:
- a drum motor,
- a consumable interface driven by the drum motor,
- a roller assembly including a roller and an actuator,
- a roller motor mechanically coupled to the roller assembly, and
- a motor balancing system to preload tension into a drum motor belt coupled to the drum motor to synchronize the drum motor and the roller motor;
- and
- a consumable that is insertable into the reactor and selectively engageable with the consumable interface such that when engaged, the consumable rotates as the consumable interface rotates,
- wherein the consumable includes a rotary seal.
