Conveyor ovens run pretty much continuously in extremely high temperatures. Because the motor was operating the convection fan inside the oven, the manufacturer needed a motor that could do the same. Groschopp designed an AC10080 fan-cooled motor with a high temp shaft and high temp food-grade lubricated bearings to withstand the application’s demands.
The customer chose to have Groschopp do the complete fan-motor integration assembly to save them time and money on production.
Challenges

- Continuous duty
- Size restrictions, must fit within a custom housing
Solution
- AC10080FC with a standard control
- High temperature food grade lubricated bearings
- Custom shaft to withstand high temperatures
- Integrated fan assembly
