SEW-Eurodrive Introduces WES Series Stainless Steel Drives.

SEW-Eurodrive is proud to introduce the WES Series stainless steel gear unit, a compact, hygienic drive solution that runs cool – even under continuous operation. Unlike worm gear units that overheat, the WES Series integrates SPIROPLAN right-angle gearing, ensuring smooth, reliable performance without excessive heat buildup. Designed for food, beverage, and other hygienic applications, the WES Series is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and rated for high-pressure washdowns.

Key Advantages include: 

Compact & Efficient: No cooling fan, no hygiene risk—ideal for clean environments.

Always Runs Cool – Safe & Reliable: SPIROPLAN gearing minimizes friction, reducing heat compared to worm gear units. No burn hazards, ensuring worker and product safety.

Hygienic & Washdown-Ready: Rated for aggressive cleaning agents and washdown environments. Seamless, smooth surface prevents bacteria buildup.

Durable & Low Maintenance: High efficiency gearing and lubrication systems extend service life. Lightweight, compact design for easy integration into processing lines.

Built for Clean, Demanding Environments & Safety

"The WES Series is a breakthrough for industries needing a stainless-steel gear unit that stays cool, clean, and reliable. By integrating SPIROPLAN right-angle gearing, we’ve created a solution that outperforms traditional gear units in hygiene-sensitive applications," said Tom Ellis, industry account specialist at SEW-Eurodrive.

Industries served include food and beverage processing (bottling, packaging and conveyor systems), pharmaceutical and cleanroom (contamination-free motion solutions) and chemical and washdown (corrosion-resistant, sealed for extreme conditions).
