Extreme Duck Ultra Motor Solution
Industry
The food production industry is of vital importance to our everyday lives. With constant pressure to meet rising consumer demand, producers must increase production, improve product quality, lower prices, and offer a greater variety of products.
This particular customer was a leading operator of pork processing plants. In addition to the above challenges, the customer’s facilities had regular washdown procedures, which subjected equipment to caustic chemicals and high-pressure liquids to ensure a safe food environment.
Problem and Solution
The customer experienced costly downtime emergencies because of motors that could not withstand daily cleaning and sanitizing procedures. These procedures can burn out motors due to caustic chemicals and high-pressure sprays. Downtime diverts limited maintenance personnel and disrupts production at the cost of thousands of dollars per hour.
The customer’s need was simple: a washdown motor, an electric motor that can stand up to the caustic chemicals and liquids used in regular washdown procedures. The LEESON Extreme Duck® Ultra Motor is fully encapsulated for unsurpassed sealing. The Extreme Duck Ultra motor’s IP69 certified enclosure protection means the motor will keep running dependably even in the most harsh washdown environments.
