SEW-Eurodrive is introduced the WES Series stainless steel gear unit, a compact, hygienic drive solution that runs cool — even under continuous operation. Unlike worm gear units that overheat, the WES Series integrates Spiroplan® right-angle gearing, ensuring smooth, reliable performance without excessive heat buildup.
Designed for food, beverage, and other hygienic applications, the WES Series is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and rated for high-pressure washdowns.
Key advantages:
Compact and Efficient: No cooling fan, no hygiene risk — ideal for clean environments.
Always Runs Cool – Safe and Reliable: Spiroplan gearing minimizes friction, reducing heat compared to worm gear units; no burn hazards, ensuring worker and product safety.
Hygienic and Washdown-Ready: Rated for aggressive cleaning agents and washdown environments; seamless, smooth surface prevents bacteria buildup.
Durable and Low Maintenance: High-efficiency gearing and lubrication systems extend service life; lightweight, compact design for easy integration into processing lines.
Industries Served: Food and beverage processing – bottling, packaging, and conveyor systems; pharmaceutical and cleanroom – contamination-free motion solutions; chemical and washdown – corrosion-resistant, sealed for extreme conditions.
“The WES Series is a breakthrough for industries needing a stainless-steel gear unit that stays cool, clean, and reliable,” said Tom Ellis, industry account specialist at SEW -Eurodrive. “By integrating Spiroplan right-angle gearing, we’ve created a solution that outperforms traditional gear units in hygiene-sensitive applications.”
