Choosing the wrong motor for food processing can lead to costly downtime and even facility shutdowns. Ensuring the motor meets cleaning requirements is essential for maximizing uptime and maintaining food safety.

Washdown motors feature durable seals to prevent water ingress, corrosion-resistant stainless steel or epoxy-coated components to combat rust, and encapsulated windings to protect critical electrical parts—ensuring reliable, food-safe operation.

Washdown motors have high ingress protection ratings ensure the motors are well-sealed against moisture, dust, and contaminants, making them ideal for hygienic and washdown-intensive applications.

ABB's washdown zones are aligned with NSF standards, include Zone 1 (high-pressure washdown with food contact), Zone 2 (occasional moisture exposure), and Zone 3 (minimal exposure), with motor selection ensuring compliance and optimal performance in each environment.
