Aseptic motor series

SEW-Eurodrive has unveiled its DAS Aseptic AC induction motor series which features either IP66 or optional IP69K self-draining enclosure design. The DAS Aseptic motor series has been designed to accommodate the most stringent hygienic manufacturing requirements.

The Aseptic motor series has been specifically developed for demanding drive applications where sanitation is paramount and has been designed to minimise the ingress of water and particles.

Rated to IP66 as standard, with the option of IP69K (to the DIN 40050-9 standard), the Aseptic motor series is suitable for the harshest manufacturing environments. The 9K indicates that the housing is protected against high-pressure washdown, high-temperature water contact and can withstand industrial cleaning agents. The Aseptic motor series combines the latest in AC motor technology together with a high degree of enclosure protection. The smooth 'self-draining' housing prevents accumulation of debris, while its advanced surface coating inhibits corrosion.

The motor series is also offered with SEW-Eurodrive's Aseptic plus protection package, which provides additional surface coatings for protection against aggressive cleaning agents and demanding environmental conditions.

The entire Aseptic motor range is housed in a smooth, fully sealed fanless enclosure. Inherent to the fin-free enclosure design is a lack of crevices and contaminant trap-points, ensuring debris cannot accumulate on the motor's surface. This reduces equipment cleaning times.

Aseptic motor set-up, maintenance and changeover has been made easy with straightforward mounting capabilities and electrical connections. The Aseptic motor series features a plug-in power connection. Time-consuming terminal box wiring can be avoided, as the connector can be pre-wired before being fitted. The motor series has been tailored for field installation and complements SEW-Eurodrive's IP69K-rated decentralised drive system, Movifit.

The Aseptic motor series simply mounts directly on to the gear unit. It is particularly easy to mate to SEW-Eurodrive's 7 Series range of gear units. The 7 Series is available in numerous gear technologies and mounting arrangements and complements SEW's Aseptic motor series.
