Bauer BS Series Geared Motors for Bakery Wrapping Machine Infeed Conveyors
A leading U.S. manufacturer of automated flow wrapping systems needed reliable
drives for use on its machine’s infeed conveyors. The series of conveyors move bakery
items, including bread and pastries, into the wrapping machine. Accurate speed control
of the singulation, profile, accumulation and metering conveyors is critical to prevent
downtime and waste caused by jamming and damage of the food products inside the
wrapping machine.
To meet the application requirements, Bauer Model BS10 single-stage geared motors
were selected over competitive models based on previous successful installations. The
0.12 kW BS10 worm gear units supplied feature a torque rating of 59 lb.ft. (80 Nm)
and a reduction ratio of 152.7:1. All BS Series units feature a rugged gearbox housing
designed for operation under harsh conditions. The compact closed housing preventing
lubricant loss and dirt build-up. BS geared motors are an economical solution for
applications such as this with small torques and low speeds.
