Stainless Steel Washdown Worm Gearboxes Materials

Stainless steel washdown worm gearboxes are used where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are crucial. The materials used in these gearboxes are carefully selected to ensure durability, hygiene, and resistance to corrosion. Here are the common materials used in their construction:

Stainless Steel (Housing)

Material: Typically SS304 or SS316 stainless steel.

These materials provide excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for environments with frequent washdowns, exposure to chemicals, or food contact. SS316 is especially effective in resisting pitting and corrosion in saline or acidic conditions. These materials are used for the gearbox housing and external components to ensure hygiene and protection against contaminants.

Bronze or Phosphor Bronze (Worm Gear)

Material: Bronze alloys, such as phosphor bronze.

Bronze is commonly used for worm gears because of its good wear resistance and low friction when meshing with the steel worm, which provides smooth and efficient transmission of power and reduces wear and tear, improving the gearbox's lifespan.

Hardened Steel (Worm Shaft)

Material: Case-hardened or nitrided steel.

Hardened steel has excellent strength and durability, making it suitable for handling the high loads and stresses in worm gear applications. The worm shaft is typically made from this material to ensure longevity and resistance to wear, even under high pressure.

Food-Grade Seals (Gaskets and Seals)

Material: FDA-approved rubber or elastomers, such as EPDM, Silicone, or Viton.

These materials resist degradation from cleaning agents, chemicals, and high temperatures while maintaining a tight seal to prevent contamination, which ensures the worm gearbox is protected from ingress of water, chemicals, and food particles during washdowns.

Food-Grade Lubricants

Material: NSF H1-approved food-grade lubricants.

These lubricants are non-toxic and safe for incidental food contact, making them ideal for gearboxes used in food processing environments.sed inside the gearbox to reduce friction and wear between components while ensuring safety in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Stainless Steel Bushing Kits (For Shafts)

Material: Stainless steel, typically SS304 or SS316.

These materials provide additional corrosion resistance and durability for larger head shafts in washdown conditions. Stainless steel bushings enhance the gearbox's ability to handle various shaft sizes while maintaining hygiene standards.

Stainless Steel Gear Motors

We introduce a comprehensive line of stainless steel IEC food safety motors, fitted with stainless steel worm gear reducers, specifically designed for demanding washdown conditions in industries where sanitation is crucial. Our Food Safety series motors and worm gear motors are particularly well-suited for the meat, poultry, fish, and dairy industries, where the risk of severe contamination is high.

To minimize contamination risks and reduce the amount of water and chemicals required to sanitize equipment, all of our food safety products are designed for easy cleaning. The stainless steel motors feature smooth, rounded housings that eliminate gaps where food particles could get trapped and bacteria could grow. Even the nameplates on our motors and gears are laser-etched to prevent channels and ridges where contaminants might accumulate.

Stainless Steel Motors

Our entire food-safe range is equipped with an advanced sealing system, achieving an IP69 waterproof rating, which is the standard for products used in sanitary sectors. This classification ensures that our products can withstand cleaning by high-pressure water jets, commonly used in cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures. The all-stainless steel construction further protects against corrosion.

Our stainless steel safety motors and worm gear reducers also feature encapsulated windings, offering longer life in harsh washdown conditions compared to general-purpose products. Additionally, these motors eliminate the need for motor shrouds, which can trap food particles and encourage bacterial growth. They are available in power ranges from 0.18 to 7.5 kW, with 2-6 pole versions for 230-690 volts, and 50 or 60 Hz frequencies.

With our complete food safety offering, we are well-positioned to serve customers and equipment manufacturers in the global food industry, whether using metric or imperial measurements.
