Washdown Duty Motors
Electrical Motors are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy by producing a rotating force (torque) measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and horsepower (HP). Medium size motors are designed and built to operate at 60 Hz with three phase voltage at 230 volts, 460 volts and 575 volts. These motors are used to drive compressors, pumps, fans, machine tools, conveyers and other processing and materials handling equipment in industrial sectors.
Washdown Duty Motors are electric motors specifically designed to operate in harsh environments where frequent washing or exposure to moisture, dust, and other contaminants is common. These types of motors are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and other similar applications that require high levels of sanitation and cleanliness. One of the main features of washdown duty motors is their ability to withstand high-pressure washdowns without damage or deterioration of their components. They are typically constructed with materials that are resistant to corrosion and rust, such as stainless steel or other durable coatings. This makes them ideal for use in environments where water or other liquids may be present. In addition, washdown duty motors are designed to meet stringent sanitation requirements, such as those set by regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). These motors must be easy to clean and sanitize, which means they must have a smooth surface finish, and all external parts must be free of crevices or pockets where dirt or bacteria can accumulate.
