Aseptic planetary gearbox in stainless steel perfect answer for cutting machine

Belgium not only has food of the highest quality, but also machine builders of the highest quality to serve its food industry. FAM is one of them. In forty years, the company from Kontich has established itself as the reference in cutting machines worldwide. Finding high-quality components is always the order of the day. For its Centris 400C Optitec, FAM found a planetary gearbox with the desired power and a impeccable hygiene at Apex Dynamics.

Right support

“We clearly see that hygiene requirements in the food sector are becoming increasingly strict. The hygienic finish of the AE205 planetary gearbox immediately catches the eye. Because we originally worked with an American drive, with a fairly small gear pulley, a smaller shaft diameter was also needed on the output side. Even with this custom adjustment, Apex Dynamics manages to deliver the fully stainless steel gearbox with customized motor adapter within five weeks. A strong example of organization, especially in corona times. In addition, they always provide answers to our questions that allow us to find a solution for our customer. That's what you look for in a partner. Replacing gearboxes in existing machine models is not something you just do. But with new machine concepts we will certainly contact Apex Dynamics to see if we can work together again.”.
