Kneading, grinding, shredding, conveying – electric motors for the food industry must meet specific requirements to ensure food safety and environmental safety. BEN Buchele knows what matters most.

The manufacture of specialty motors is a broad field—one type that BEN Buchele frequently produces is the submersible motor, which is used, for example, to drive pumps on suction dredgers.

Shocks, which place a sudden, intense load on the system, are particularly challenging for motors. When designing shock-resistant motors, it is essential that the housing and components are highly stable to prevent parts from breaking off or the motor from failing.

When designing an electric motor, many parameters must be considered to achieve the optimal configuration. The impact of the winding insulation on a motor’s performance should not be underestimated.

The explosion-proof encapsulated electric motor from BEN Buchele fulfills the highest explosion protection requirements with high performance and additional features, such as the integrated braking function.

In a research project for automotive test stands, BEN Buchele is testing the use of a synchronous reluctance motor – with promising results.

More sustainable drive solutions are also in demand in the shipping industry. BEN Buchele developed two electric motors for a hybrid drive on the Chicago bulldozer in the Port of Hamburg.
