Cleanability, reliability, availability

One supplier with decades of experience

Baldor-Reliance washdown duty motors come in a variety of designs to fit the many needs in the
marketplace. From white washdown to paint-free, stainless steel to food safe, these choices allow you to
select the right motor for the amount of protection required for your specific application. While some
applications may see just a light washdown, others may require the harshest high-pressure cleaning and
caustics.

When and where you need a motor

Built in US manufacturing facilities and available from our industry leading global distribution network
assures that Baldor-Reliance washdown motors are available when and where you need them.

Less unplanned downtime

Each design is specifically tailored to different areas/zones within a production environment. We have a
solution to keep your motors in service longer, with fewer failures, no matter how harsh the conditions.

of exposure.

Food zone 1

Zone 1 areas are where direct contact with food products is normal and expected. Components must be
able to withstand aggressive, high pressure, high temperature cleaning methods.

Splash zone 2

Direct contact with food products is not expected with the potential that liquids used in processing or
cleaning may come into contact with the equipment. Equipment must be able to withstand regular or
frequent washdowns.

Dry zone 3

Equipment is typically located outside of a normal washdown area where direct contact with food
products during normal operation is not expected.

IEC low voltage motors

ABB IEC Food Safe motors are available in the power range 0.18 - 7.5 kilowatt (kW), in 2 - 6 pole versions for
230 - 690 volt at 50 or 60 hertz (Hz). They feature IE3 premium efficiency to reduce energy consumption
and emissions. Flexible mounting arrangements allow motors to be mounted in different positions shaft
up or down or in inclined positions. In order to follow hygienic design principles, ABB IEC food safe motors
in frame sizes 71-90 are without a cooling fan. Standard configuration of motors in frame sizes 100-132 is
totally enclosed fan cooled.
