IEC food safe motors

The motors feature smooth stainless steel enclosures that are easy to clean and sanitise, so customers can meet increasingly stringent hygiene standards. The motors’ enclosures have an IP69 water protection rating, while encapsulated windings enable the motors to last longer than general purpose products in tough washdown conditions.

External surfaces are self-draining, with no crevices where particles can collect. Markings are laser etched onto the frame, avoiding channels and ridges where contaminants could accumulate. The motors can withstand high pressure sprays and are fully compatible with clean-in-place (CIP) methods. Food Safe motors also eliminate the need for motor shrouds, which can harbour food particles and allow bacteria to breed.

The motors are available in the power range 0.18-7.5kW, in 2-6 pole versions for 230-690V at 50 or 60 hertz. They feature IE3 premium efficiency to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Flexible mounting arrangements ensure they will fit almost any application. The motors come in frame sizes 71-132.
