Bonfiglioli EP

Main Benefits of the EP (Enhanced Protection) series

All companies involved in the food and beverage industry today have the choice of a newly designed range of products perfectly suiting their hygiene and corrosion-resistant specifications, which are not normally available among standard products.

With the utmost attention being given to oil tightness and wash down of the gearmotor's exterior surfaces, this allows the unit to be installed in the close proximity of the food process, without the need of screening by cabinets or guards.

The epoxy coating, with a total thickness of ca. 200 _m, provides superior abrasion and corrosion resistance properties. The complete unit in fact, whether gearmotor or gearbox only, is first coated with a two-part epoxy primer layer, followed by a highly resistant two-part epoxy finish coating, which is lead- and chrome- free.

The material is USDA and Agriculture Canada acceptable for incidental food contact, and besides resisting the corrosion of most acid and alkaline substances, is also well suited against most chemical detergents commonly used in the industry.

As per the Norm ISO 9223, the epoxy coating provided is suitable for the most aggressive environments, top classified C5 in the corrosivity scale.

Three colours are available for the finish, identified through the RAL code numbers RAL 9010 (white), 5010 (blue), e 9006 (light grey).

Frame sizes available: 44 (except VFR style), 49, 63, 75, 86.

Motor availability: 0.12 through 4 kW, both compact type and IEC standard 2, 4 and 6 poles.
