Launched by ABB, the IEC Food Safe motors are part of the Food Safe family that includes stainless steel NEMA motors, mounted ball bearings and gearing. The stainless steel enclosures are easy to clean which makes the series perfect to meet the stringent hygiene standards of the food and beverage industry.

IP69 water protection and laser etched marking

The motors can sustain tough washdown conditions thanks to the IP69 water protection and the encapsulated winding. The absence of any type of external surfaces on the self-draining motors and the laser etched markings avoid the accumulation of contaminants. The motors can withstand high pressure sprays and are fully compatible with clean-in-place (CIP) methods. Food Safe motors also eliminate the need for motor shrouds, which can harbour food particles and allow bacteria to breed.

Features

ABB IEC Food Safe motors are available in the power range 0.18-7.5 kilowatt, in 2-6 pole versions for 230-690 volt at 50 or 60 hertz. They feature IE3 premium efficiency to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Flexible mounting arrangements ensure they will fit almost any application. The motors come in frame sizes 71-132.
