Hygiene and Durability Combined: SEW-EURODRIVE's Stainless Steel Solutions for the Food and Beverage Industry

In the food and beverage industry, maintaining high hygiene standards is paramount. Equipment installed in these environments must comply with strict regulatory requirements and endure harsh cleaning processes including corrosive chemicals.

SEW-EURODRIVE understands these challenges and is committed to providing clean, durable and efficient solutions. With a comprehensive stainless steel portfolio that includes Inline and Right-angle gear units and gearmotors, SEW-EURODRIVE offers robust and corrosion-resistant products, providing users with a hygienic solution to withstand the demanding environment of the food and beverage industry.

SEW-EURODRIVE’s stainless steel solutions not only address key industry pain points but also significantly enhance operational efficiency. By ensuring compliance with stringent hygiene standards, our range of products provides a solid foundation for reliable and productive operations in the food and beverage industry. In meat, poultry or fish processing facilities where equipment is constantly exposed to wet and corrosive environments, the ability of equipment to withstand challenging conditions is now mandatory rather than optional.

Designed to reduce the risk of product contamination by withstanding impact and eliminating paint chipping, stainless steel gear units and gearmotors from SEW-EURODRIVE are characterised by smooth housing and the use of high-quality stainless steel. The smooth surface is designed to be easily cleaned and highly resistant to acids and alkalis, in addition, recesses that can collect dirt and liquid have been eliminated as much as possible.

The stainless steel motor range which is directly mountable to the gear units, is also constructed with smooth housing including a fan-less design. Ensuring excellent hygienic performance as it inherently prevents debris entrapment consequently reducing the cleaning process.

The stainless steel gearmotors from SEW-EURODRIVE come in a helical bevel, helical, and our SPIROPLAN® design. Supplied with various stainless steel shaft variants and hardware, the combination of premium durable gearing can be optionally complemented with food-grade oil alternatives to suit the most stringent food processing requirements.

Reliable and maintenance-friendly equipment is essential to reduce downtime and operational costs. SEW-EURODRIVE’s stainless steel gear units and gearmotors are designed with this in mind, providing plant operators with a solution that contributes to long operating life and overall efficiency, relieving users from the burden of frequent maintenance and subsequent high operational costs.

SEW-EURODRIVE’s stainless steel portfolio, including the RES, KES, and WES gear units and gearmotors, offers significant benefits for the food and beverage industry. These products are assembled and serviced in Australia ensuring availability to satisfy local customer needs.
