A Solution for Powering Food & Beverage Packaging Lines
Food and beverage processing and packaging lines have a large number of moving parts that present multiple needs for power transmission. These production environments can lead to unique requirements for motors including specific size constraints and ingress protections.
A manufacturer of equipment for the microbrewery industry was developing a new canning line. Their torque, RPM specifications and desired mounting configuration for the gearmotor pointed to a traditional worm gearbox solution; but the envelope requirement presented challenges with that approach. The customer contacted Bison Gear & Engineering to develop a solution for powering the canning line.
It is easy to see why a PowerSTAR® hypoid gearmotor was chosen for this project. The customer required a right angle solution to power the conveyor and power density was a major factor in the decision. PowerSTAR® hypoid gearmotors operate almost 35% more efficiently than traditional worm gearmotors. This power density allowed for a small foot print and an aesthetically pleasing motor that was mounted alongside the conveyor line.
The team at Bison Gear developed a highly engineered and customized solution that met the application demands of this microbrewery equipment manufacturer. The finished product was a highly efficient right angle solution that was designed to IP65 standards.
