Packaging & Conveyor Applications

We work with businesses and OEMs in the packaging, material handling, and conveyor industries. Our fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors deliver reliable performance in demanding environments. You’ll find our solutions in automated filling lines, conveyor sortation systems, and other similar equipment. Every motor is built for consistent uptime, smooth operation, and long service life, with U.S.-based manufacturing and technical support to help keep your production lines moving.

Why Choose Groschopp Motors for Packaging & Conveyor Applications

  • Built for Continuous High-Duty Operation

    Our motors are designed for packaging and conveyor systems that run for long hours under load. With the right duty cycle rating, thermal protection, and materials, they handle constant starts and stops. They also run for extended periods without overheating.
  • Compact and High-Torque Performance

    Strong starting torque in a small footprint makes it easy to integrate our motors into tight conveyor housings. They also fit well in packaging machinery frames and other space-restricted designs.
  • Purpose-Built Motor Solutions

    We can customize shafts, mounting patterns, wiring, and gear ratios. This ensures our motors integrate seamlessly with your equipment and meet performance, speed, and torque requirements.
  • U.S.-Based Manufacturing and Technical Support

    Our U.S.-based manufacturing and responsive technical support help you meet performance and durability needs. We also ensure consistent quality and reliable lead times.
  • Scalable OEM Production

    We offer OEM production with a minimum order of 25 units. This includes single-unit prototypes for design, testing, and approval before full production.

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.
