Our stainless steel motors present a completely smooth surface, capable of respecting and guaranteeing the highest hygienic standards demanded by the market.
The motors are manufactured with tubular frame, totally enclosed and without ventilation. The nameplate data is laser engraved directly onto the end shield. The exterior parts of the motor are in stainless steel, no plastic components are used.
The surface of these motors is extremely easy to clean, and they withstand the most common aggressive cleaning agents. Stainless steel motors are available with cable gland or with the rear terminal box, where it is possible to position a terminal block, a brake or a position transducer.
These motors excellently resist corrosion and represent a reliable and long-lasting solution in those areas where the hygiene is a basic requirement.
The IP degree of stainless-steel motors is IP69K and the efficiency class is IE4 Premium. Thanks to an accurate electrical design, the internal heating and the surface temperature are limited.
These motors are particularly suitable to be used with an inverter, because they are made with superior class insulations.
As part of our Hygienic Line, we also have a new motor with silver treatment, patented by Carpanelli.
This silver treatment created for aluminum alloy motors, gives the motors antibacterial properties and as such offers a valid alternative to stainless steel motors. These motors are perfect for those industries, such as food and pharmaceutical, where a clean and aseptic environment is needed.
This treatment gives the motors interesting characteristics, such as resistance to corrosive agents, better electrical and thermal conductivity, anti-mould and germicide properties, high resistance to abrasive wear, lower weight, capability of resisting high voltages and higher motor efficiency.
The advantages of using these motors instead of stainless steel motors are several. Silver’s antibacterial properties allow the motors to be used in closed contact with food, preventing microbial contamination.
The materials used in the manufacture of these motors are non-toxic and non-absorbent. While stainless steel contains Nickel, antibacterial motors don’t. The high thermal conductivity of this aluminum treated with silver, permits the motor to dissipate 10 times more heat than stainless steel.
Working at lower temperatures guarantees a longer life of the components, a reduced chance of wear and corrosion of internal components and motors are not dangerous for operatives that may come into contact with the their surface.
Also the electrical efficiency level of the motor takes advantage from the lower temperature.
