Twist Tie Machine

July 5, 2011

This OEM is a leading manufacturer of commercial baking equipment and accessories. They needed a motor to be used in four different applications on a bread packaging machine. As a successful supplier of brushed DC motors for the company’s older machine, Groschopp had the opportunity to supply motors for the OEM’s newest design.

The Challenge

  • The same motor must be used in all four applications
  • Motors must fit into very tight envelopes
  • Motor duty cycles run from continuous in one direction, to changing directions every second or less
  • Brush life is problematic for short oscillating duty cycle
  • Requires high torque in a small package

The Solution

Groschopp engineers worked closely with the OEM to develop the small, powerful brushless DC motor which is virtually maintenance free. New bearings bring expected life to 50,000 hours.

How to use the Motor Search Tool

Narrow your search by selecting motor type, gearbox, voltage, and phase options for your desired motor.

Select a dominant variable: choose one of the three parameters to narrow your search. The selected variable determines which slider bar you will be able to manually move.

Use the slider corresponding to your dominant variable to further narrow your motor selection. The other sliders will automatically move to show available ranges based on the range of your selected variable.

Results will upload as your search criteria changes. If you have any questions regarding your results or how to use the search tool, you can chat with us using the green tab on the left-hand side of your screen.


Note: Groschopp Universal motors are custom built to fit your application so no additional options are available to narrow the search. Selecting the Universal motor type will prompt a message taking you to the Universal product page.
