Motors for the food and drink industry at PPMA
Addressing hygiene requirements on the production line, Lafert demonstrated its range of stainless steel IP66 motors for the food industry at the PPMA show, together with IE2, IE3 and IE4 compliant motors and examples of non-standard motor configurations.
>Lafert says its 'Marlin' stainless steel motors are proven to save money, having shown they can save £1000s through reduced motor failures and consequent downtime and engineering costs. They are smooth bodied with no crevices/recesses to capture and harbour material build-up to cause hygiene issues. They will not rust and have no paint to flake off thereby minimising contamination risks. Being IP66 rated the motors can be high-pressure hose cleaned promoting easy, effective cleaning.
>A range of stainless steel gearboxes are also available to complete the hygienic package. Marlin power ratings are 0.18 to 11kW in metric frame sizes up to 132 as TEFC machines. Smaller units (up to 0.75kW) are also available from 63 frame size as TENV machines. Most motor sizes are held in stock for off-the-shelf delivery.
