IP66 rated motors for all stainless mixers
After a global search lasting over a year for a source for stainless steel AC motors compatible with its range of stainless steel mixers, Euromixers of Stockport has found Marlin Stainless, a division of AEG Electric Motors.
Marlin Stainless was the only company that offered a range of motors covering frame sizes from 63 to 132 with power ratings from 0.18 to 7.5kW and the added bonus of being IP66 rated - ideal for pressure hose wash downs.
Euromixers can now offer a comprehensive range of stainless steel mixers, which meet the most demanding hygiene standards required within the food and drink manufacturing sectors.
The Marlin Stainless three-phase motors are all metric IEC machines. This gives equipment manufacturers and end users complete interchangeability with existing motors, both as original build components and as retrofit items.
The corrosion resistance and hygienic characteristics of these 304 stainless steel motors - no paint to chip or flake - are enhanced by the motors' smooth exteriors, having no cooling fins or nameplates (data is etched into motor body) to harbour germs and dirt. Complementing these hygienic design features are an NTN Blue double-lip seal and a Gamma seal fitted on the shaft to guard against any risk of ingress to the motor.
For internal protection against moisture, and to provide compatibility with inverter control, the motor stator windings are double vacuum and pressure impregnated and phases are insulated.
To overcome the inherent condensation problems associated with electric motors exposed to internal and external temperature differences, the Marlin motors have four quadrant drain ports in each end shield that will accept 'T' drain plugs on removal of grub screws. This ensures that there will always be a drain plug at the lowest point of the motor.
