Meeting the hygiene requirements of the food and beverage industry

Lafert’s Marlin IP66 stainless steel motors are proven to save money through reduced failures and consequent down-time and engineering costs. They are smooth bodied with no crevices/recesses to capture and harbour material build-up to cause hygiene issues. They will not rust and have no paint to flake-off thereby minimising contamination risks. Being IP66 rated the motors can be high pressure hose cleaned which promotes easy, effective cleaning.

A range of stainless steel gearboxes are also available to complete the hygienic package. Marlin power ratings are 0.18 to 7.5kW in metric frame sizes up to 132 as TEFC machines. Smaller units (up to 0.75kW) are also available from 63 frame size as TENV machines.

Lafert’s IE2 to IE5 motors can be offered as standard units but non-standard configurations are often the norm, with over 90% of production being engineered to customer requirements having different combinations of special shafts, flanges, windings etc.
