Bauer AsepticDrive Geared Motors For Food Processing & Packaging
A well known European food manufacturer produces almost everything from jam
and confectionary products to chocolate. They also manufacture and package
private label yogurt, ice cream and other dairy products, as well as cereal bars
and bakery products.
Bauer Aseptic geared motors were chosen because they are a combination of an
asynchronous motor with a renowned Bauer Series 2000 gearbox. The smooth
Bauer aseptic motor housing design eliminates the motor cooling ribs and fan
areas where dirt and debris gather and are almost impossible to reach and where
cleaning solutions cannot drain off causing so called “dirt traps.”
The design allows thorough cleaning once production has ended. Washdown
solutions used in food processing applications incorporate acid or alkali-based
cleaning agents which, in combination with disinfectants, ensure that all relevant
germs and bacteria are destroyed. The geared motors are equipped with
CleanConnect connectors and coated with an special aseptic paint.
Highlights
- Aseptic geared motor design allows cleaning agents to drain off completely
- Units feature a high degree of protection (IP 67 and IP69K) as standard, with Aseptic acid and alkali-resistant paint (pH2 - pH12)
- Re-infection avoided around the motor since the fan-free design creates no air turbulence
