65% of UK power is consumed through electric motors within industry. Ideally motors are manufactured to last up to 20 years. However, in the food and beverage industry this isn’t typical due to the nature of challenges this industry faces, leading to costly downtime, repairs or replacements.
Food Safety | Many concerns with food contamination (listeria, salmonella, etc.) Difficultly keeping equipment clean and contamination free |
Process Reliability | Equipment failing too soon due to harsh washdown environments All materials do not withstand frequent sanitation |
Energy Efficiency | How to reduce overall operating costs, and match the sustainability goals? Electric motors account huge potential to use energy more efficiently. Energy efficiency regulations vary depending on country and region. |
ABB have designed a motor that can combat these difficult issues for the food and beverage industry. ABB’s answer is the IP69k Stainless steel washdown motor, offering uncompromised hygiene, reliability, and productivity for food and beverage applications.
Why choose a washdown motor?
Food processing environment with frequent sanitation exposes electric motors to many risks
- Surface corrosion
- bearing failures due to grease washout
- electrical failures
A Food safe stainless steel motor can prevent these failures and avoid unwanted interruptions in the process
