  • No cooling fan, no hygiene risk—ideal for clean environments.

Always Runs Cool – Safe & Reliable

  • SPIROPLAN® gearing minimizes friction, reducing heat compared to worm gear units.
  • No burn hazards, ensuring worker and product safety.

Hygienic & Washdown-Ready

  • Rated for aggressive cleaning agents and washdown environments.
  • Seamless, smooth surface prevents bacteria buildup.

Durable & Low Maintenance

  • High-efficiency gearing and lubrication systems extend service life.
  • Lightweight, compact design for easy integration into processing lines.

Built for Clean, Demanding Environments & Safety
