Food & Beverage Applications

JVL motors meet the strict hygiene demands of food and beverage production with IP67 protection, stainless steel options, and wash-down rated designs.

Industry Challenges

Daily Wash-Down

Production areas are cleaned with high-pressure water and chemicals. Motors must survive repeated wash-down cycles.

Hygienic Design

FDA and EHEDG guidelines require smooth surfaces, no crevices, and food-grade materials in the production zone.

Wide Temperature Range

From freezer environments to oven-exit conveyors, motors face extreme temperature swings throughout the plant.

Continuous Production

24/7 production schedules leave no room for unplanned downtime or complex maintenance procedures.

Recommended Motors

Stepper Motors

Why JVL for Food & Beverage?

IP67 Protection

Fully sealed motors withstand direct water jets and chemical cleaning agents without moisture ingress.

Stainless Steel Options

Food-grade stainless steel housings resist corrosion from acids, salts, and cleaning chemicals.

No Cabinet Required

Decentralized drive architecture eliminates control cabinets from hygiene zones, simplifying plant layout.

High Torque at Low Speed

Conveyor and mixer drives deliver consistent torque across the full speed range without external gearboxes.

Winning Applications

CH
JVL Solution

Integrated motor with Profinet for flexible dough processing control.

Motor TypeMIS23x/34xMIS23x/34x
Application

Bottle filling machine, movement of filling nozzles for up and down and conveyor systems. Customer uses 15 pcs MAC1500 for each machine.

TR
JVL Solution

Major drive ecosystem now recognizes JVL motors. Won because of the fully integrated motor design that saves space and simplifies installation.

Motor TypeMAC1500MAC1500
Application

Customer manufactures machines that fry chicken and also operates a franchise. They use a multi-joint robot for frying and a cartesian robot for transport. JVL's MIS232 motor was applied to the cartesian robot, controlled by the robot controller.
