Whatever the stage of the process — from primary to tertiary packaging — we deliver the right solution. ##### Maximum efficiency For demanding packaging processes with high performance density and optimal energy utilization. ##### Maximum hygiene For the highest hygiene standards, optimal cleanability and safe operating conditions — even during wet and high-pressure cleaning. ##### Flexible integration Modular drive systems – mechanically, electrically and digitally harmonized. ##### Food packaging Food hygienic servo axes for wet and dry areas, e.g., cartoning, labeling, portioning, sealing, or weighing. Particularly suitable for sensitive products such as fish, meat, baked goods, or dairy products. ##### Beverage packaging Robust and easy-to-clean drive solutions for bottle filling, labeling, cartoning, and palletizing. Also suitable for high cycle times and flexible format adjustment. ##### Pharmaceutical packaging Precise and dynamic solutions for liquid and solid products – with digital condition monitoring, batch tracking, and hygienic version. ##### Non-Wovens Highly dynamic drives for diaper, mask, and cloth packaging with fast format adjustment and high machine availability. ##### Other packaging applications Durable, versatile and long‑lasting solutions designed to ensure reliable, flexible performance in all non‑food packaging applications. Our hygienic drive solutions are specially designed for applications with high cleaning requirements, such as meat packaging. They support open machine concepts, reduce dead space, and enable process-oriented integration. Smooth surfaces, robust gaskets, and easy-to-clean material ensure maximum safety and availability, thereby increasing the productivity of your packaging line.

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. ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/e/3/csm_application-meat-packaging-en_fb58cbf3c6.webp) ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/1-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Tray Infeeding** The corrosion resistant design is used for applications in corrosive environments. The SP+ version is ideally suited for high positioning accuracy and highly dynamic cyclic operation. The TP+ version and the TPM+ are ideally suited for high-positioning accuracy and highly dynamic cyclic operation. ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/2-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Filling** For space-limited applications with direct food contact, the cyber® dynamic line in Hygienic Design is the optimal solution. The small servo motors with an outer diameter of 40 mm allow process-oriented, hygienic and sterile automation. ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/2-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Checkweighing** The highly compact planetary gearboxes HDV and servo actuators axenia value (AVF) have been developed according to the EHEDG guidelines. They enable shorter cleaning cycles and increase machine availability. The high protection class of IP69X and the hygienic design offers the machine builder new freedom in the construction of machine with the highest standards of hygienic and sterile production. ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/0-ohne-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Checkweighing** The low backlash planetary gearboxes and servo actuators with output shaft. The standard version is ideally suited for high positioning accuracy and highly dynamic cyclic operation. The SP+ HIGH SPEED is particularly well suited for applications with maximum speeds during continuous operation. The servo actuators premo® score particularly well in highly dynamic cycles thanks to their low moment of inertia and high power density. ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/0-ohne-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Labeling** The industrial-grade small servo motors in the cyber® dynamic line are the professional choice for dynamic processes. The brushless servo motors are available in four different sizes with diameters from 17 to 40 mm with an power range of 25 to 335 watts. Featuring a high quality stainless steel housing and an absolute encoder, the new motor line offers outstanding precision and reliabilty. ![thumb](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/website/international/3-industries/1-mechanical-engineering/0-ohne-tropfen-legende.jpg) **Pick & Place Robots** The low-backlash planetary gearboxes and servo actuators with output shaft. The DP+ HIGH TORQUE and the TPM+ HIGH TORQUE are particularly well suited for high-precision applications in which high torsional rigidity is required.
