What tastes good moves – drives for food & beverage
Food & Beverage Technology
Drive solutions for hygienic, reliable and efficient processes
The clean solution for your production – drives for food and beverages
In food and beverage technology, drives must not only be powerful, but also particularly reliable, easy to clean and often hygienically harmless. Our gearboxes and geared motors are designed to meet these requirements – compact, durable and available in protection classes up to IP56. For individual requirements, we develop special gearboxes that are precisely matched to your machine environment.
Typical areas of application
- Conveyor technology for dough pieces, bottles, crates or packaging
- Filling systems for liquids or paste-like products
- Mixing and dosing systems
- Packaging machines, labellers, cartoners
- Slicing and portioning machines
- Cleaning lines and circulation systems
- Intelligent conveyor systems
