Motors and couplings suit food and beverage use

A Lenze product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 23, 2008

Lenze standard AC motors are available from 0.18 to 7.5kW and can be combined with worm gearboxes in a stainless construction and an IP66 enclosure.

Stainless steel drive motors, geared motors, actuators and couplings are available from Lenze.

Typical applications are found in the food and beverage industry, but also in machinery used outdoors.

Ingress of water from washdown or environmental conditions can cause expensive downtime.

These drive products are designed with minimal dirt traps, cutting maintenance and increasing plant availability.

Lenze has released standard AC motors and servomotors.

The standard AC motors are available from 0.18 to 7.5kW and can be combined with worm gearboxes in a stainless construction and an IP66 enclosure.

The synchronous servomotors can be combined with stainless steel planetary gearboxes for rated output torques up to 450Nm in IP67 enclosure.

Also meeting the wash down requirement is a range of linear actuators for forces up to 4500N and strokes to 750mm.

These have 12 to 42V DC actuation and enclosure up to IP68.

Food and beverage machinery usually has areas where the requirement is low-aseptic.

Here the drive components need to resist moisture but not high-pressure hosing.

Lenze offers industrial PC's with touch screen in an IP65 housing and IP65-enclosed inverter drives up to 7.5kW.

Spring-applied brakes for holding and emergency stop up to 235Nm are also IP65-enclosed, as are a range of LED signal towers.

Flexible couplings, universal joints and locking bushes can be supplied in stainless steel.

The Lenze range of drive products for high and low-aseptic areas is described in a new eight-page flyer.
