Food and Beverage

Governing sanitation bodies such as USDA, FDA, NSF, CFIA and 3-A are recommending higher levels of bacteria control and increased sanitation measures in food and beverage handling environments. With this sanitation focus, there is an industry-wide initiative to increase the chemical concentration, water temperature, and frequency that facilities are cleaning their equipment.

In order to resist high water pressure, humidity, acidity, and caustic environments, Sumitomo Drive Technologies developed the UltraSHIELD360°® package—a tri-layer coating system.

Patented Hyponic® gear technology is up to 93% efficient across all ratios and requires no cooling fan. As the hypoidal gear design eliminates the high friction losses inherent to worm gear drives commonly used in similar applications.
The greater efficiency of the Hyponic® allows for use of a smaller motor, resulting in the same performance with much lower electrical costs.
The smooth and quiet operation of the Hyponic® makes it the perfect choice for commercial applications in which a low noise level is desired.
The hypoidal design, quality materials, low operating temperature, and high performance grease result in a reliable unit that does not require maintenance.
A full array of input and output options with standard universal mounting positions provides a product to fit nearly any requirement. These options include solid shaft, hollow bore, shrink disc, quill input shaft, integral motor, and C-Face adapters.
LUBRICATION
The unit is filled with the appropriate grease at assembly. All grease options are maintenance-free grease which eliminates shutdowns for oil or grease changes.
Grease lubrication enables the unit to be mounted in any orientation without custom modifications.
Grease lubrication is an option for all sizes.
The Hyponic® is perfect for harsh, high-pressure wash-down environments with multiple general duty and food grade grease options.
Multiple lip, harsh duty, and food grade seals available to prevent leaks.
OUTPUT OPTIONS
Carbon steel and Stainless shafting are available.
Inch and metric keyed hollow bores for all frame sizes.
Standard Plug-In solid shaft outputs are available.
Shrink disc configurations.
Sumitomo offers Easy-Grip™ Kits, which use unique interchangeable bushings and a shrink disc set to easily attach the gear reducers to standard shafting. This flexibility allows the same gearbox to be used on different size shafts, simplifying initial design considerations and reducing spare unit inventory.

EASY-GRIP™

3-Part Keyless Shaft Locking System
Easy-Grip™ uses unique interchangeable bushings and a shrink disc set to allow easy attachment of the gear reducers to standard available shafting up to h11 tolerances.
Support Bushing
Positions the reducer axially on the
driven shaft.
Clamp Bushing
Compensates for the space between the
