Washdown gear reducers

The WITTENSTEIN washdown gear reducers have been designed for all applications that require strict hygienic conditions, as in the pharmaceutical or food sector in which the components are often subjected to repeated washings, at times performed with high pressure jets at given temperatures.

This series, with IP65 protection and food grade type lubrication (as required by the NSF standard), is available for both planetary gear reducers (which provide high positioning accuracy, extreme power density, long life and low noise) and for angular gear reducers (that offer high dynamics, low bulk and extreme sturdiness).

Geometrically the Washdown line is identical to the standard one, but all input and output interfaces, the joints, locking sets and closing plugs are made of stainless steel.
The outer casing is completely coated with a bi-component paint with the exception of the centering, which is nickel plated to maintain the prescribed tolerances (g6).
All features these, that guarantee resistance to washing with caustic soda, sulphuric acid, alcohol, acetone and oil.
