Hygienic drives for meat processor

Thursday 12 April 2007

Cargill Beef Australian - part of the global Cargill group with 120,000 employees and operations in 20 countries - adopted Bonfiglioli W and A series (worm and helical bevel) drives featuring enhanced hygiene and corrosion-resistance specifications for its food, beverage and liquid handling applications.

More than 100 of the rugged, hard-working drives with selected EP (enhanced protection) features were installed in a major expansion of the boning room, which operates three shifts a day. Driven by 3 kW electric motors, also with EP features, the W drives provide up to 800 Nm torque and the A drives provide up to 14,000 Nm required for belt conveyors at chain conveyors.
