Hygienic Design - Corrosion-Resistant Drive Solutions

Corrosion protection is vitally important for quality and maintenance optimized production – to meet the rising worldwide demand for industrial cleaning technology. Our Corrosion Resistant and Hygienic Design products allow hygienic and sterile automation close to the process.

Food industry

Pharmaceutical industry

Cosmetics industry

Particularly in the processing and primary packaging of perishable foods such as meat and fish, hygienic processes are mandatory and prescribed by a wide range of regulations. Open machine concepts in hygienic design reduce the cleaning effort and contamination risks.

“Good Manufacturing Practice” (GMP) for pharmaceuticals stands for high demands on quality in production and packaging processes via a wide range of international regulations. Whether creams in tubes and jars, capsules in blisters, or vaccines in glass vials - it is a simple task for your drive train, thanks to the hygienic stainless steel surfaces and advanced seals of our gearboxes.

As in the food and pharmaceutical industries, consumer safety is also the key consideration in manufacturing and primary packaging of cosmetic products.

A hygienic production environment is a crucial factor in the fish processing industry. Increased consumer expectations with regard to quality and ever stricter legal regulations mean an unbroken cold chain and hygienic processes in the manufacture of fish products are vital. WITTENSTEIN is committed to supporting this trend with a comprehensive portfolio of drive solutions all along the production line.

In the packaging of meat products, daily cleaning is essential to prevent germs and bacteria from building up inside the machines. WITTENSTEIN can supply optimized products to meet a wide range of hygienic requirements on the complete production line from the primary to the final packaging. The high product reliability leads to improved overall equipment effectiveness and hence increased productivity.

In the meat processing industry, daily cleaning is essential to prevent germs and bacteria from building up inside the machines. WITTENSTEIN can supply optimized, highly reliable products to meet a wide range of hygienic requirements on the complete production line. Engineers can thus design their machines according to an open concept and dispense with complicated enclosures.

A hygienic machine design can be a crucial factor in delta robotics. Rising expectations regarding product safety and stricter hygiene regulations demand easily cleanable systems and reliable processes in high‑hygiene environments. WITTENSTEIN supports this with hygienic drive solutions, enabling open machine designs, reduced cleaning effort and long‑lasting performance.
