INNOVATION BY MINI MOTOR TALKS TO THE FOOD SECTOR

Fast Change and Clean, two dedicated lines of Brushless motors designed for the specific needs of the food industry 

For over 55 years Mini Motor, an Italian company located in the heart of the Emilian Motor Valley, has been designing and manufacturing electric motors for the industrial sector, proudly bringing the Made in Italy all over the world.  

With branches in Europe, USA and UAE, along with an extensive dealer network, Mini Motor makes innovation and new product development its flagship. From the expertise of Mini Motor comes Fast Change, the new line for fast, effective and safe format change, ideal for the food sector.  

Thanks to Mini Motor’s experience and listening to a market that is increasingly looking for customization and diversification of “talking” packaging, this new line of motors has been designed with remote control to ensure compactness, compatibility and high integration in the system.  

Fast Change also guarantees a high speed, ensured by the higher actuation speed of the motors, double that of competitors, and by the reduction of machine downtime during format change, a particularly time-consuming and productive operation. 

The electronics with which the FC is equipped allow parameters to be set and diagnostics to be carried out remotely, enabling the control and monitoring of the operating status of the product and predictive maintenance, an essential step in providing the machine with any necessary assistance in a short time.  

Designed according to Hygienic Design, the Fast Change series meets the highest requirements of the food sector, guaranteeing hygiene, reliability and safety: indispensable allies for food processing and packaging.  

The stainless steel present in Mini Motor motors, in fact, resists corrosion caused by food and drink, avoiding contamination and alteration of these.  

It is thanks to this special feature that stainless steel has been chosen as the protagonist of Mini Motor’s line of Clean brushless motors: its use is a mandatory and successful choice in the food industry since Inox 316L is extremely resistant to jets of boiling water (80°C) and high pressure (90 bar); moreover, it is very easy to clean, thus becoming an ally for sectors that produce particular types of products, such as gluten-free ones. 

The series also finds perfect application in the maturing plants of delicatessen and ham industries as well as in those for the processing of fish and seafood products. In such high salinity environments, the 316L Stainless Steel chosen by Mini Motor, unlike the standard 304, is able to resist corrosion for a long time.  

Once again, the Emilian company does not limit itself to responding to market demands, but pushes its innovation further, creating products capable of truly improving work in companies in the food sector and bridging the gap with competitors.
