Applications in practice
Our gear drives and motor assemblies are widely used across OEM machinery. In food production, they support conveyors, mixers, and packaging lines to ensure consistent performance. Recycling facilities depend on them for crushers, shredders, and sorting systems, maintaining throughput even under heavy workloads. Water treatment plants use bevel gearboxes for reliable, long-term operation. In logistics and material handling, compact geared motors fit into space-constrained areas while maintaining efficient operation.

Can these drives be retrofitted?
Food-grade gearboxes are designed with stainless steel housings, sealed lubrication, and smooth surfaces that prevent bacterial growth. They’re also built to handle high-pressure washdowns and resist chemical cleaners used in food plants.
