Washdown & Hygienic

Washdown & Hygienic Gear Reducers for Demanding Environments

Manufacturers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries require processing and packaging equipment that supports high throughput with minimal downtime. Hygiene and sanitation regulations often require frequent washdown using water, steam, and cleaning chemicals — conditions that can quickly degrade standard gearbox seals, coatings, and components.

Nidec Drive Technology America’s washdown and hygienic gear reducer solutions are engineered to withstand these environments while supporting durability, reliability, and compliance needs. Standard options are available, along with custom designs tailored to specific sanitation requirements, helping maintain consistent motion performance where cleanliness and uptime are critical.
