Bruchsal, Munich, Drinktec, 13.08.2025 • What exactly does SEW EURODRIVE mean when it says, "Automation meets hygienic design"? It's all about hygienic automation, which is carefully thought out, flexible, and safe. How can microbiological hot spots in meat processing machines be avoided? What role do robots play in flexible processing and packaging in sensitive production areas?
Answers to these questions can be found in the solution packages that SEW‑EURODRIVE is showcasing at Drinktec. Visitors will be given information about the automation StarterSET, the parallel arm kinematics kit for robots, and the stainless steel portfolio for gear units and motors – all with a focus on food safety and machine efficiency.
The stainless steel portfolio is part of the MOVI-C® modular automation system and offers a wide range of standard and planetary gear units as well as asynchronous and synchronous motors. The drive units are particularly suitable for use in the food processing industry. They can tolerate high-pressure cleaning, hot steam, and chemical cleaning agents, so they satisfy all the requirements associated with typical CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilization-in-place) processes.
The stainless steel servo gearmotors from the PSH..CM2H.. series have been specially developed with a hygienic design and meet the strict requirements set by the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Boasting an IP69K degree of protection, they are ideally equipped for use under extreme conditions.
Hygienic design requirements apply both to the entire machine and the production process. SEW‑EURODRIVE also offers completely hygienic solutions for robotics modules, such as the parallel arm kinematics kit in the stainless steel design. This scalable robotics solution is specially designed for applications in hygiene-critical areas and is suitable for use as an assembly kit for flexible automation in the food industry. When combined with the StarterSET and the comprehensive stainless steel portfolio, the result is an end-to-end complete solution for hygienically optimized production machines.
Conventional value creation – design, integration, installation, and startup – remains in the hands of the machine builder. The perfectly coordinated modules ensure fast, reliable, and standard-compliant implementation.
StarterSET simplify the realization of fill and seal machines: To simplify the project planning of complex machines from the outset, SEW EURODRIVE offers mechanical engineers StarterSET 637.
