Spiral freezers are versatile systems used to cool and freeze products in the food and beverage industry. Due to the large temperature range and high mechanical loads involved in their operation, the components of these systems need to be highly durable. Our industrial gear unit solution is perfect for use in these conditions.
Robust, powerful drive solution for high thermal and mechanical loads
Complete solution from a single source
From breakfast rolls and frozen pizza to meat, fish and even ice cream: spiral freezers allow delicious food to be frozen as quickly, evenly and with as little damage as possible. The regulations placed on the food and beverage industry are extremely strict. As such, the challenges facing the designers of the drive technology are incredibly demanding.
The coatings used must not be susceptible to damage in harsh conditions, the gear unit bearings must be reinforced and the food-grade oil used for the gear oil should be as easy as possible to change.
Last but not least, the large range of temperatures encountered in such systems also needs to be taken into account. During freezing, temperatures can drop to -35°C. In addition to this, the system components – and thus the drive technology – also need to be able to handle temperatures in excess of 30°C without any problem during cleaning.
