Dertec stainless steel gearboxes for food and chemical industries.

In the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, adhering to high sanitary and hygiene standards is always a challenge. Therefore, it is very important to observe the hygiene and cleanliness of gearboxes and motors in production areas. The equipment must be resistant to moisture, aggressive cleaning agents, and frequent wash cycles.

Dutch manufacturer Dertec has been successfully operating in the market of drive systems and stainless steel components for nearly 20 years and finally solved the problem of hygiene of the drive.

What makes Dertec stainless steel gearboxes unique?

• The housing is made of 316 stainless steel with a smooth, rounded surface that facilitates cleaning. Additionally, the absence of hard-to-reach areas significantly reduces the risk of dirt accumulation and bacterial growth. This design allows for the use of less aggressive cleaning agents and requires less water for cleaning.
• Special proprietary seals that meet food industry requirements and ensure the gearbox's leakproofness even in the most challenging conditions.
• A wide range of gearboxes providing torque from 20 to 2700 Nm.
• Available with gear ratios up to 1,4:1 – 300:1 and output shaft sizes from 14 to 60 mm.
• High efficiency and long lifespan of gears.
• Equally important are Dertec motors made of stainless steel, which have an IP 69K protection rating. The manufacturer offers synchronous and asynchronous motors, motors with brakes and encoders, encapsulated windings, and other options.
• All gearboxes are standardly equipped with synthetic lubricants certified for the food industry according to NSH H1.
• All the data of the gearbox are laser-engraved on a plate that is easy to clean, ensuring that important technical information about the unit won’t be lost, faded or erased.

Our clients who have tried Dertec have forgotten about hygiene issues with drives and no longer waste time and resources on constant maintenance and premature replacements.
