Motores y reductores
Eficiencia y fiabilidad para la industria de alimentos y bebidas
La fabricación de motores eléctricos WEG comenzó con las habilidades combinadas de un electricista, un administrador y un mecánico, lo que dio como resultado la producción del primer motor eléctrico WEG. Desde entonces, eso es lo que nos guía para producir máquinas más eficientes, diseñadas con las tecnologías más avanzadas. Todo esto porque, independientemente del segmento de mercado, WEG mantiene iniciativas dedicadas de investigación e innovación para producir motores eléctricos de alta eficiencia, que garantizan la fiabilidad de la producción para su industria.
WEG ofrece diversas soluciones con motores eléctricos y reductores, como motores de imanes permanentes, pintura antimicrobiana y resistente a la corrosión, y nuevas tecnologías para la Industria 4.0, como WEGScan®. Estos son productos diseñados específicamente para cualquier aplicación en la industria de alimentos y bebidas.
Sistemas de preparación, proceso y HVAC
Estos sistemas incorporan varias soluciones de WEG, como motores para ventilación en diferentes industrias de alimentos y bebidas. Además, WEG ofrece el W30 Smart EC (Motor Eléctrico con Conmutador WEG), que fue proyectado para túneles de congelación, condensadores y evaporadores; el W12, que se puede usar con reductores, bombas y ventiladores, mientras que la línea W22 ofrece toda su versatilidad y eficiencia. Desarrollados para grandes sistemas de extracción y bombeo, los motores W60 ofrecen altos niveles de eficiencia energética, ideales para aplicaciones de alta velocidad.
Washdown application environments
Applications requiring continuous washdown process (handling animal protein, such as: pork, beef, lamb and poultry) demand safe equipment. WEG offers solutions like the Encapsulated Washdown Motors Hydroduty and Picker Plus, and General Purpose Washdown Motors Hydrowash, Shark and W22 Wash, which features NobaC®, exclusive WEG paiting with antimicrobial properties.
Small machines and food service
WEG offers a diverse range of commercial motors, specifically designed for small machines in dry area. These solutions are versatile and suitable for various industries or equipment used in food service.
Industrial refrigeration and air compressors
In utilities area, applications such as ammonia and air compressors demand dedicated and realiable products.
WEG also offer the W60 line, with a compact design and optimized air flow, dedicated to pumps, fans, compressors, mills, and others. The highlight is the W22 Cooling Tower motor line, used in cooling towers.
Heavy applications
Gearmotors such as the WG20, Magmax, MAS and GSA, combined with W22 and W12 motor line, are suitable for applications like conveyors, rolling machines, stirrers, winches, elevators, chippers and others. Some applications may receive special antimicrobial painting, resistant to corrosion, which is important for the Food and Beverage industry.
Hazardous locations
These electric motors meet the needs of hazardous locations, as they are manufactured according to current industrial standards, both NEMA and IEC. The products are certified by the main product certification bodies in the world, in addition to having high safety levels, essential for Zone 1 (W22Xdb line), Zone 2 (W22Xec) and Zone 21/22 (W22Xtb). With a robust construction, they are the most modern drives for hazardous locations machines containing gas, steam or dust.
WEGSee+
WEGSee+ is a free, multiplatform software that simulates the application of high-efficiency electric motors to reduce energy consumption in industry. It generates feasibility reports for replacing electric motors, calculating the potential savings in financial and energy terms. The software also presents financial indicators, such as NPV and IRR, and allows you to simulate the capitalization of resources through different forms of investment.
WEG motors for Food and Beverage industrial areas
The food and beverage industry encompasses various hygienic zones, each requiring specific considerations to mitigate the risk of food contamination. Understanding the optimal motor for your application within these industrial areas is essential, taking into account technical specifications, sustainability factors, and sanitation requirements. Finding a single supplier capable of addressing all these aspects can be a significant challenge, but don’t worry, WEG specializes in solutions tailored for the food and beverage industry and is poised to assist you in identifying your food safety zone and selecting the most suitable products.
WEG offers a comprehensive range of motors suitable for both outdoor and indoor installations. However, before exploring our product offerings for these applications, it is crucial to ascertain your food safety zone (1-4). By partnering with WEG, you can access expertise and solutions designed to optimize hygiene, performance, and reliability in your specific industrial environment.
Zone 4 | Areas outside food processing areas |
Zone 3 | Non-food contact surfaces (dry area) |
Zone 2 | Non-food contact surfaces (wet area) |
Zone 1 | Food contact surfaces |
Now we know about the different food safety zones, you can confidently choose the motor that best suits your needs. Whether it’s for conveyor systems, packing/dosing machines, or liquid transfer applications, WEG offers a comprehensive motor portfolio that meets all the requirements and standards of the food and beverage industry.
