Introducing a geardrive
that always cleans up
Produce Snack Meat Beverage Dairy
DRIVE
The Clean-Geartech Stainless Steel
& Aluminium gear drive family offers:
EQM has introduced a series of gearboxes
and motors that are cleaning
up the New Zealand market. The
Clean-Geartech geardrive is already
being used in food processing facilities
throughout the country and now
can be complemented by helical bevel
gearboxes in stainless steel to match
the IP69k motors, as well as aluminium
motors and worm gearboxes of
the same design.
Featuring the latest in surface
treatment technology – NTT, which is
perfect for damp environments that
do not demand the high standard
of its stainless steel cousin. The
company says it has recently installed
Clean-Geartech into a food processing
facility making purees where epoxy
coatings were not enduring the daily
sanitisation process.
“They’re perfect for meat, dairy,
poultry, seafood, salads, confectionary
and ready-to-eat products,” EQM
says. “Being food-safe brings peace
of mind. They’re smooth-operating
and smooth in looks – there’s no
nooks and crannies that can attract
food waste, therefore they’re easy to
keep clean.”
Waterproof protection (IP69K), high
efficiency (IE3) and 316SS output
shafts are just a few features
essential to future proof any food
safety plan. Information on EQM’s
Clean-Geartech products are on its
new website - www.eqm.co.nz
