Baldor-Reliance® Food Safe motors

The future of stainless

Designed for food processing where reliability and cleanability are of utmost importance in an intense, caustic cleaning environment. Baldor-Reliance Food Safe motors are designed to perform reliably- at maximum efficiency- around the clock and be effectively cleaned to a hygienic level to ensure uncompromised food safety.

ABB’s Baldor-Reliance Food Safe stainless-steel motors are designed to perform longer than any other industrial electric motor available today. IEC frame also available.

Reliability
• All stainless steel construction
• Encapsulated windings and conduit box
• Two barrier mechanical shaft sealing system

Cleanability
• Smooth contours and finish with a rotatable, round conduit box allows water and debris to shed from the housing
• Independent feet allow the motor to be effectively and efficiently cleaned

Flexibility & safety
• Our rotatable conduit box eliminates the need to reorient the motor to match power supply
• Color-coded leads are easily identifiable and make connection safer and easier
• Lifting provisions on 180 – 280 frame allow for easier and safer maneuvering

Footed or footless

No need to reroute your incoming power supply or rotate the motor orientation. Simply unbolt the middle section of our 3-piece conduit box and rotate the lead opening in the direction you need it. (Three phase only)
Single phase ratings have a single conduit box to house the capacitor and leads. Mechanical joints are minimized to one central box that has a gasket with flashing to prevent water from entering the conduit area.
Connect the leads of your motor using heat shrink wire connectors that come with every motor. Color-coded leads make the correct one easily identifiable and quicker to connect.
Vacuum impregnated encapsulated conduit box minimizes the risk of contaminates entering the internal rotating components of the motor.
To allow for easier installation on larger frames, specifically 180-280 frame, integral lifting provisions are continuously welded to the motor.

The smooth finish with curved contours meet NAMI (North American Meat Institute) guidelines for ease of cleaning and allows water to shed from the frame of the motor, minimizing the chance of liquid pooling.
A rounded conduit box also minimizes catch points and where bacteria and other microorganisms can harbor and multiply.
All hardware (through bolts, drain plugs, etc.) have smooth heads to eliminate pooling and catch points.
Conduit box is continuously welded to the frame of the motor eliminating a gasket and contaminate ingress path.
On foot mounted models, continuously welded independent feet allow easier access and clearance for proper cleaning procedures.
Independent feet minimize the catch points versus traditional mounting bases.
The laser marked nameplate is legible over the course of the motor's life. It needs to be food safe, no pitting or catch points for bacteria or other microorganisms to harbor in the area

Two barrier mechanical seal prevents water from entering the motor.
The viton material is chemical resistant, withstands high temperature, and direct spray.
Totally Enclosed, Fan-Cooled designs have seals on both ends of the motor.
Fully encapsulated windings that extend into the conduit box ensure that the motor is sealed effectively inside and out.
The vacuum impregnated process ensures there are no air pockets in the encapsulation.

All foot mounted motors meet NEMA mounting dimensions and feature independently welded feet which allow the motor to be effectively cleaned and inspected, especially underneath the motor.
Footless designs allow for easier cleaning and eliminates a collection point for food and debris to build up.
Totally enclosed, non-vent motors eliminate potential for water and contamination ingress at the non-drive end of the motor.
