EQUIPMENT AND TURNKEY
SOLUTIONS WITH EQM
EQM is introducing stainless steel and
aluminium gearboxes and motors that are
cleaning up.
The Clean-Geartech geardrive is already
being used in food processing facilities
throughout New Zealand. Now with helical
bevel gearboxes in stainless steel to match
the IP69k motors, as well as an aluminium
motor and worm gearbox of the same
design.
The aluminium geardrives feature the latest
in surface treatment technology – called NTT,
perfect for damp environments that do not
demand the high standard of its stainless
steel cousin.
“They’re perfect for meat, dairy, poultry,
seafood, salads, confectionary and ready-toeat
products. Being food safe brings peace
of mind,” says the company.
Offering waterproof protection (IP69K), high
efficiency (IE3) and 316SS output shafts are
just some of the features of Clean-Geartech.
EQM also successfully installed a twotier
packing conveyor system to optimise
production, decrease the packing area
footprint and become a mobile unit for a
large blueberry producer.
The new system has improved the packing
process, enabled greater flexibility of labour
and can be operated by one person, or up to
six when using variable speed controllers.

To function efficiently, every tube type heat
exchange device, whether a boiler, condenser, or
an exchanger heating or cooling a liquid or gas,
requires that the surface of the tubes be clean and
scale-free.
The formation of mud or scale deposits on the
transfer surfaces of tubes can drastically reduce
the flow of heat through the tube walls. The fact is
that all scale formations are insulators and therefore
their presence on heat exchangers cannot be
tolerated. Quite often, these fouling agents that
cause scale also have chemical characteristics that
are highly corrosive to the tube material.
Quite simply, cleaning tubes increases energy
efficiency. While there are a variety of cleaning
methods available, when faced with hundreds or
thousands of tubes to be cleaned, the use of metal
scrapers fired hydraulically through the tubes is
a well proven method of quickly and effectively
removing scale deposits.
