A gear reducer for pharma

To ensure the safety standards required in the pharmaceutical industry and the like, without limiting the possibilities for energy savings Bauer Gear Motor (Altra Industrial Motion) has combined the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) with aseptic drive technology, resulting in a gearmotor that ensures both IE4 level efficiency and the strength and duration of stainless steel.

The PMSM motors in fact provide energy savings of over 40% compared with standard IE2 induction motors. Bauer’s stainless steel modular gearmotor is also designed with surfaces inclined at least 3° to prevent the formation of dirt and allow to detergents and water to seep away. No ventilators or cooling fins are required to further improve the seal and reduce the possibility of creating a stagnation of dirty water. The stainless steel construction avoids the risk that compliance to hygiene certification can be compromised in the event of impact or prolonged use in environments submitted to heavy washing. Its grade of protection is high (up to IP69K).
