05.05.26 • Hygiene, reliability, and performance are under increasing scrutiny across the food and beverage industry, and at Foodpro 2026, SEW-EURODRIVE will be putting these priorities front and centre.
Returning to Melbourne from 26–29 July at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Foodpro is a key event for industry professionals seeking the latest in processing and automation technology. SEW-EURODRIVE will be among the leading solution providers on display, showcasing a comprehensive portfolio of drive technology with a strong spotlight on its advanced stainless steel range.
Purpose designed for hygiene-sensitive applications, SEW-EURODRIVE's stainless steel solutions are engineered to perform in the harshest washdown environments. Visitors to the stand will be able to explore a full suite of technologies, including stainless steel gearmotors, decentralised drive systems, motors, and servomotors designed specifically for food processing, packaging, and conveying applications.
We are also excited to showcase the renowned MOVIGEAR® in a stainless steel version for the first time. Delivering the same IE5 high performance, efficiency and reliability in hygiene-critical environments.
According to Darren Klonowski, General Manager Sales and Marketing, two key drivers continue to shape investment decisions in the sector: performance and hygiene.
“Customers are looking to increase throughput and maximise productivity, while ensuring their equipment meets stringent hygiene standards,” said Klonowski.
“In the past, many operations struggled with corrosion, paint degradation, and contamination risks, often leading to costly downtime during inspections. Our stainless steel range has been developed to eliminate these issues.”
Engineered with an IP69 rating, the stainless steel solutions are designed to withstand high-pressure washdowns, resist aggressive cleaning agents, and prevent the buildup of debris. With smooth, crevice-free surfaces, they enable fast, effective cleaning, helping operations transition seamlessly between shifts with confidence.
Among the highlights on display will be the PSH..CM2H.. series servo gearmotors, built for demanding, high-hygiene environments. Available in multiple sizes, these units combine precision performance with a stainless steel housing that resists washdown and corrosion.
Also featured are the RES (helical), KES (helical bevel), and WES (SPIROPLAN®) stainless steel gearmotors, each designed to maximise cleanability while delivering reliable, efficient power across a wide range of applications.
Beyond stainless steel, SEW-EURODRIVE will showcase its broader drive technology offering, including gearmotors, frequency inverters, and the MOVI-C® platform. Increasingly adopted across the industry, MOVI-C® supports centralised and decentralised automation, enabling greater flexibility and streamlined system design.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to engage directly with SEW’s experts to explore tailored solutions and learn more about the company’s comprehensive service offering, from service and repairs to responsive online support.
Foodpro 2026 is your opportunity to experience SEW-EURODRIVE’s technology up close, gain practical insights, and discover how the right drive solution can elevate both hygiene and performance in your operation.
