Products & Solutions
In food and beverage production, hygiene, durability, and efficiency aren’t optional, they’re essential. Whether you're running aseptic filling systems for dairy and beverages, cutting equipment for meats and cheeses, or filleting machines for fish or poultry, SEW‑EURODRIVE delivers reliable drive solutions tailored for the job.
Our stainless steel gear units are engineered to perform in harsh washdown environments. With smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces and robust IP69K protection, they are designed to meet stringent hygiene standards while ensuring long-term reliability and easy cleaning.
Backed by decades of application expertise, our stainless steel portfolio is built around the key values that matter most: hygienic design, robust construction, and lasting flexibility.

Stainless Steel Gear Units and Gearmotors
Due to the hygienic design and a surface that is resistant to acid and alkaline, these stainless steel gear units practically clean themselves. The three versions, helical gear, bevel gear and SPIROPLAN® right-angle gear, allow use in a wide variety of applications.

Stainless Steel Servomotors
Our stainless steel servomotors with a hygienic design meet the strict guidelines of EHEDG and the FDA. These compact units consisting of the synchronous servomotor and planetary gear unit are resistant against hot steam and corrosive cleaning agents.

Mobile transport and assistance systems
AGV's and logistics assistants for cleanrooms and areas with more stringent hygiene requirements. Our service portfolio extends from planning, vehicle design, and vehicle production through to startup and our installed base service.

Standard Gearmotor Protection Options
Our Food Industry Option Package (IOP) consists of specialized components designed to overcome the demands of chemical wash down environments. These components save you downtime and money by extending the life of both the gear unit and the motor.
