ABB has developed its next generation of energy-efficient motor solutions for the food and beverage industry. The Baldor-Reliance Food Safe SP5+ is the world's first IP69 ultra-premium efficient motor, claims the company. Engineered for seamless inverter duty operation with advanced bearing protection, it utilizes cutting-edge rotor technology to achieve peak efficiency, reducing energy costs and supporting sustainability goals.

Designed to meet the highest standards for food processing, all ABB Food Safe motors are easy to clean and maintain, offering durability and reliability in demanding environments. SP5+ achieves an IE5 efficiency level and is manufactured for high performance in NSF-identified food zones (zone 1), which includes areas that come into direct contact with food, as well as surfaces from where food may drip, drain or splash back onto surfaces that are in direct contact with food. SP5+, like all Baldor-Reliance Food Safe motors, can be effectively cleaned to a hygienic level to ensure uncompromised food safety. With local manufacturing and comprehensive service support, the solution ensures exceptional performance and longevity in harsh food processing environments, adds the firm.

With the launch of the Food Safe SP5+, ABB continues to set the standard for innovation in motor-driven systems. The entire Food Safe SP5+ portfolio offers:

  • Unrivaled energy efficiency: Advanced rotor technology optimizes performance, lowering energy consumption and helping facilities meet or exceed current and future efficiency standards. Food Safe SP5+, with the use of a required variable speed drive, meets or exceeds the IE5 efficiency level.
  • Exceptional hygiene standards: Designed for harsh washdown environments, the IP69-rated enclosure provides protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, steam cleaning and dust, ensuring compliance with stringent sanitation requirements in food and beverage facilities.
  • Extended motor longevity: Advanced bearing protection reduces wear from electrical discharges, increasing motor lifespan, minimizing maintenance needs and maximizing uptime.

Other features standard on Baldor-Reliance Food Safe stainless steel motors:

  • 360-degree rotatable conduit box for ease of installation, operation and maintenance
  • Removable drain holes allow for a completely sealed or continuously draining motor to best suit the application
  • All stainless-steel construction - including housing, conduit box, drain plugs, hardware, fan cover and endplates - safeguards against corrosion to avoid costly downtime and repairs
  • IP69 laser-marked nameplate for readability throughout the life of the motor
  • Hardened epoxy resin encapsulation provides an additional layer of internal protection against water and humidity
  • Two-barrier mechanical shaft seals prevent water from entering at the shaft extension of the motor
  • High-temperature Class H insulation with low-temperature (Class B) rise for longer insulation and bearing life
