LinMot stainless steel products for responsible production
Anuga FoodTec, a major international trade fair for the food and beverage industry, focused on the topic of “responsibility” this year. It presented new technologies and concepts along the entire value chain that promote the sustainable use of natural resources.
The show demonstrated that key issues such as responsibility, climate neutrality and food safety are having a significant impact on the development of the food and beverage industry. The machines on display offered interesting insights into innovative strategies for minimising food loss, treating waste water and precise and clean automation using stainless steel drives – thanks to LinMot.
LinMot stainless steel products offer the highest level of hygiene. The compact linear motors and guides, as well as the linear modules and grippers, have been developed for demanding environments and are made of stainless steel EN 1.4404/AISI 316. To prevent the accumulation of dirt, the motors are designed without unnecessary edges, corners, holes or screw connections, so they can be used in systems for processing food or pharmaceutical products. They can easily withstand extremely harsh or corrosive conditions and can be cleaned with all standard industrial cleaning agents.
The windings of the linear motors are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin, protecting the copper filling and stator package from condensation and corrosion. They are sealed to IP69K in accordance with DIN EN 60529, while the special plastic bearings simplify cleaning and save considerable time in wash-down applications. The drives are also ideal for in-place cleaning such as CIP and SIP.
All linear motors are fitted with temperature monitoring sensors which transmit data to the servo drive. The data can be analysed in the PLC so that the motor can be kept within a constant temperature range depending on the process (e.g. food products such as fish). For some motor types, LinMot offers an optional integrated water cooling system, which leads to higher performance and lower surface temperatures.
