Interroll supplies stainless steel drum motors certified by the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) for the packaging machines of Ing. E. Vezzadini & C. S.r.l. in Reggio Emilia, Italy. These motors are mainly used in dairies around the world and in food processing companies that produce cheese spreads and margarine.
The Italian company is Market leader for Butter packaging machines and decided in favour of Drum motors from Interroll to move these sensitive products in the machines. Vezzadini products are characterised by their high quality and craftsmanship. The company's automated machines must 100 blocks of butter per minute produce. This requires extreme precision and the greatest possible fluidity.
Space-saving and efficient
Packaging machines for butter, cheese spread and margarine combine precision mechanics and electronics, and the degree of customisation of these machines is extremely high. The decision to use Interroll drum motors was influenced by the requirement to make the packaging machines more space-saving and efficient, as well as to achieve a One hundred per cent hygiene to ensure that.
The highly efficient Engine is easy to install and practical Maintenance-free. Because the motor, gearbox and bearings are located inside the drum, drum motors require significantly less installation space than other motor types and therefore offer significant space savings compared to conventional geared motors.
The belt conveyor can therefore be more compact and installed in smaller spaces. In addition, drum motors are considerably faster and easier to install: According to a study conducted at the University of Parma, drum motors can be installed in an average of Spend 25 per cent less time, than is usually required for the installation of a conventional drive system with multiple components. By reducing the number of components, the costs for manufacturing the belt conveyor and purchasing the components are reduced.
Drum motors from Interroll are predestined for use in the food industry, as their IP66/IP69k classification guarantees the highest level of safety. „Hygienic Equipment Design Criteria“ fulfil the EHEDG, apply the ECOLAB cleaning procedure and comply with the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union Regulation EC 1935-2004.
Hygienic and safe
Low wear Interroll Drum Motors deliver full performance even in harsh environments where water, fine dust, dirt, chemicals, grease and oil are present. They can also be high-pressure cleaned.
Thanks to their smooth stainless steel surface and fully encapsulated, hermetic structure, these motors are also exceptionally hygienic. At the same time, they offer an efficiency of up to 78 per cent in asynchronous version and up to 83 per cent in synchronised design. They have no protruding parts, and with their fixed external shafts they offer the greatest possible safety for material flow systems.
„E. Vezzadini's decision is further confirmation of the superiority of the Interroll Drum Motor. This now enables further progress in terms of efficiency, saving installation space and ensuring hygiene,“ explains E. Vezzadini. Claudio Carnino, Commercial Manager Italy and Country Manager Italy at Interroll.
Positive response
Management representatives at Ing. E. Vezzadini expressed great satisfaction with the significant technical improvement to the renowned company's machines: „We have been designing and manufacturing automatic packaging machines for dairy products and edible fats for over 60 years. Our market is the whole world. In order to maintain a leading position in our sector, we must constantly strive to improve. In this respect, Interroll has enabled us to take a huge step forward, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of Sustainability and quality concerns.“
