Hygienic design for more product quality

Each end user is grateful to know that high demands are made concerning hygiene in all so-called "sensitive production areas." This applies to employees as well as to all machines and systems involved. This approach is the only way to ensure that contaminated food products, cosmetics or drugs do not enter the market. That is particularly important for certain branches of industry, such as the beverage and food industry as well as the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Often, regulations stipulate a completely germ-free environment. to the top

The drive solutions used in the past made it very hard to clean the production systems as thoroughly as required. Standard drives often come equipped with cooling fins in which dirt can accumulate, and germs and bacteria may be distributed via air swirls.

This is where MOVIGEAR^® with its smooth surface design comes in. The geometric design of MOVIGEAR^® has complied with the Hygienic design guidelines already during the design stage. This minimizes cleaning efforts, which leads to reduced cleaning and system downtimes and ultimately to reduced operating costs. The smooth surface design prevents the built-up of dirt; the units are virtually self-cleaning.

The totally closed mechantronic drive system applies the principle of surface cooling, dispensing with additional fans. Sucking in dirt and spreading germs and bacteria due to air swirls are a thing of the past. The high degree of protection ensures maximum reliability. And should it become necessary after all to replace the electronics, the upper part with the electronics can be separated from the connection part quickly and easily. Replacing the electronics part takes only a few minutes. Connection cables do not have to be removed, making for maximum system availability.

Thanks to these features, it is very easy to apply a decentralized installation philosophy even to sensitive production areas without additional effort for the cleaning of drive components.
