In the case of gear motors, which are generally mounted directly onto the machines, it has not been possible to fulfill these requirements in the past. The reasons for this are the design of the housing structure, the ribs of the motors and the fans used for cooling.
For this reason , most equipment and production machines are made of stainless steel, permitting through cleaning once production has ended. Stainless steel also allows the use of acid or alkali-based cleaning agents which, in combination with disinfectants, ensure that all relevant germs and bacteria are destroyed.
Hollow or Solid shafts are available as optional extras, as are IP 66 protection and CORO 3 paint.
The aseptic motor ca be easily fitted onto any gear in the BG, BF, BK or BS series, thereby catering for the majority of design requirements.
The aseptic motor is fitted as standard with a stainless steel circular plug which enables the quick and simple electrical connection of the motor. This connector contains both the motor and the thermostat contacts. The plugs smooth surface also conforms the motors overall hygienic design.
An aseptic motor is an asynchronous motor whose basic design dispenses with a fan and cooling ribs. The result is a motor with a completely smooth outer casing which is sealed by a matching non-drive end shield.
