Hygiene regulations in the
food industry place high demands on drive and control components with regard to
surfaces and materials, which must be able to withstand regular exposure and
resistance to aggressive cleaners. By coating a standard servomotor to make it
suitable for use around food products, Beckhoff a euro ~s protective white coating,
which is typical in the food industry, is compliant with FDA regulations and
guarantees that the products manufactured with it are not in any way tainted by
chemicals when proper wash-down procedures are followed.
The coating is well-suited
for use around food products and is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents.
Apart from the surface coating and stainless steel shaft, the motors do not
differ from the standard offerings in Beckhoff's high performance AM3000 series. The advantage for the
user is that additional motor types do not have to be a euro ~designed into' the
machine in the case of mixed use of coated and standard motors.
