Challenge:
Eaglestone is a custom conveyor and equipment manufacturer specializing in solutions that are safe for food processing and packaging. Designed to not only reduce accumulation of foodborne bacteria but also to improve productivity with reduced need for cleaning and maintenance, Eaglestone’s equipment has been integrated into a multitude of different food processing applications. Recently, they collaborated with Apex Industrial Automation and Bison Gear and Engineering on a new stainless steel product conveyor used to transfer baked and frozen goods down the production line. Bison was able to recommend a newly designed stainless steel gear motor that would provide long-lasting operation while maintaining a clean and bacteria-free environment.
Application Solution:
After reviewing the design specifications and working with Bison Gear’s application engineers, Eaglestone selected their new SANIMotor™ IP69K-rated gear motor. The SANIMotor™ features a smooth outer exterior encased in 304 grade stainless steel; ensuring clean, hygienic food processing while easily enduring moisture, heat and harsh cleaning solvents. To promote long product life and operation, the internal electrical components are encapsulated in epoxy resin to tolerate temperature extremes up to 40°C. Ideally suited for food service equipment, conveying, wash stations and chemical applications, the SANIMotor™ was a natural fit for Eaglestone’s conveyor.
Benefit:
Once installed, the SANIMotor™ performed very well in the harsh environment created by the wash-down process and provided reliable operation of the transfer conveyor without any maintenance issues.
