All-metric, three-phase stainless steel motors
A comprehensive range of AC 3-phase IEC metric stainless motors is now available from Marlin Stainless, a division of AEG Electric Motors. This all-metric dimensioned range provides complete interchangeability with existing motors and/or machine footprints permitting simple upgrades to a fully stainless design. The metric design is newly available in the UK after proven trials in North America and Australia where hygiene regulations are moving up the agenda.
Manufactured to withstand high-pressure wash-downs (IP66), even when employing chemical cleaning agents, these motors from Marlin are ideal for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and process industries. 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 provide compatibility with inverter control, the motor stator windings are double vacuum and pressure impregnated and phases are insulated.
