Increasing demand for solutions in hygienic design.
The oil-free synchronous drum motors from Momentum are among the coolest and most powerful currently available on the market, or at least that's the opinion of Andri Sveinsson. As Innovation Project Manager at Marel, he deals daily with drives that transport food through the company's machines. Andri coordinates the teams at Marel, collects information, and ensures the exchange of ideas between all technicians and engineers involved in the design. He is also responsible for the strategic and operational management of various development projects. Working day after day on improvements for all the industries Marel serves: poultry, meat, and fish processing.
Hygienic designs are of paramount importance in this respect. Andri Sveinsson's internal motor range consequently reduces the number of components to the absolute minimum, because assemblies that do not exist are not a CCP, cannot cause contamination, and do not need to be cleaned. Drum motors, by virtue of their unique design, meet these criteria as they integrate the external motor, axle, and gearbox, as well as the motor mounting into the idler pulleys on the drive side of the conveyors, which are required in any case. They also reduce the individual components of a machine, which simplifies the design.
