Website calculates benefits of stainless motors

To help determine the potential savings resulting from switching to its stainless steel AC motors, Marlin Stainless has added a costs/savings calculator to its website.

For those involved in hygiene-sensitive operations, who carry-out frequent washdowns to maintain hygiene standards or who need to replace motors due to failure and/or corrosion related poor hygiene, such scenarios can be expensive in terms of both replacement costs and lost production due to down times.

To help determine these costs and demonstrate potential savings resulting from switching to its stainless steel AC motors, Marlin Stainless has added a costs/savings calculator to its website.

By simply selecting motor type, annual sales, number of days running per year, working hours/day and clicking the "calculate" button users can determine how much they could save by switching to Marlin's stainless motors.

Marlin's stainless AC three-phase motors are IEC metric dimensioned so are fully interchangeable with standard motors, either as original equipment or retrofit items.

Motor ratings from 0.18 to 7.5kW in metric frame sizes up to 132 come as TEFC machines.

Smaller units (up to 0.75kW) are also available from 63 frame size as TENV machines.

Manufactured to withstand high-pressure washdowns, even when employing chemical cleaning agents, Marlin motors are ideal for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and process industries.

The corrosion resistance and hygienic characteristics of these 304 stainless steel motors - no paint to chip or flake - are enhanced by the motors' smooth exteriors, having no cooling fins or nameplates (data is etched into motor body) to harbour germs and dirt.

Complementing the motors is a range of worm gearboxes.

They have centre distances of 31, 42 and 61mm with ratios from 5:1 to 75:1.

Torques range from 0.9 to 208Nm and options include gears with torque pins, food spec lubricants and various output shaft designs.
