Energy Saving Solutions for the Beverage Industry
Taking a Bottle Conveyor as an Example
The production cycle in the beverage industry is characterized by a wide range of extremely varied tasks, such as palletizing, cask or bottle conveying in dry, wet, or hygienic areas. The drive technology is subject to special ambient conditions, e.g. heat, moisture, cleaning agents, etc., which may not impede an energy efficient solution.

Energy savings with MOVIGEAR®
High overall efficiency thanks to: new motor concept, new electronic components and intelligent control modes.
The overall efficiency (gear unit, motor, inverter) is 10-25 percentage points higher than conventional drive solutions depending on the operating point and the reference gear unit.
On average, MOVIGEAR® enables energy-savings between 15% and 30%.

The smooth surface design of MOVIGEAR® prevents the built-up of dirt; the units are virtually self-cleaning. The completely enclosed mechatronic drive system also uses surface cooling and does not require an additional fan. Sucking in dirt and spreading germs and bacteria due to air swirls are absolutely impossible.
