Baldor Announces Food Safe Motors Line

Baldor recently announced the complete line of food-safe stainless steel motors designed around sanitary equipment principles and compatible with clean-in-place (CIP) procedures. Baldor-Reliance Food Safe motors, designed with smooth contours and advanced sealing, exceed IP69K for water to maximize motor life in high pressure, sanitary cleaning environments.

The product line spans single and three phase ratings in foot mounted and footless configurations, providing ultimate flexibility for OEMs and end users to choose the right product for their equipment and applications. Foot mounted designs meet NEMA standard mounting dimensions with continuously welded independent feet allowing easier access and clearance for proper cleaning procedures.

Three phase ratings are available from stock in frame sizes 56-280T, ranging from 1/2-30 hp. Single phase ratings are available from stock in a 56C frame, ranging from 1/2-1 hp.

David Steen, product manager for Washdown Motors, noted, “Building on our experience in working with customers and their stainless steel motor needs, we determined that it came down to one thing – cleanability. If they can clean the motor better, they can protect the food supply better. It’s that simple.”
