Industries

Food industry

Particularly in the processing and primary packaging of perishable foods such as meat and fish, hygienic processes are mandatory and prescribed by a wide range of regulations. Open machine concepts in hygienic design reduce the cleaning effort and contamination risks.

Pharmaceutical industry

“Good Manufacturing Practice” (GMP) for pharmaceuticals stands for high demands on quality in production and packaging processes via a wide range of international regulations. Whether creams in tubes and jars, capsules in blisters, or vaccines in glass vials - it is a simple task for your drive train, thanks to the hygienic stainless steel surfaces and advanced seals of our gearboxes.

Cosmetics industry

As in the food and pharmaceutical industries, consumer safety is also the key consideration in manufacturing and primary packaging of cosmetic products.


Target applications

Fish processing

A hygienic production environment is a crucial factor in the fish processing industry. Increased consumer expectations with regard to quality and ever stricter legal regulations mean an unbroken cold chain and hygienic processes in the manufacture of fish products are vital. WITTENSTEIN is committed to supporting this trend with a comprehensive portfolio of drive solutions all along the production line.

Delta robots

Conventional solutions

To ensure a reliable and a hygienically safe production, it was mandatory to use an extravagant housing for the drives. However, this solution has the following disadvantages:

  • Risk of dirt and moisture buildup under the encapsulation
  • Surfaces to be cleaned are large
  • Extra costs (design, cleaning)
  • Heat build-up under the encapsulation reduces the service life of the drive

Hygienic solution

New design freedom thanks to the Hygienic Design motor-gearbox unit. The highly precise HDP+ is particularly suitable for use in Delta-robotic applications:
 

  • Hygienic production because the drive components are cleaned directly
  • Smaller surfaces save time and cleaning costs
  • Open drive system extends the service life
