Stainless steel washdown construction provides corrosion resistance and easier cleaning, reducing sanitation downtime and extending service life. The business impact is lower maintenance costs and improved uptime on conveyors and mixers used in food processing and pharmaceutical environments. This motor delivers 0.5 HP at 1770 rpm with 60 Hz three-phase power, enabling reliable torque for mid-load lines such as packaging conveyors and mixer drives, while maintaining consistent process speeds. The 56HC frame with C-face mounting and foot-mounted configuration offers installation flexibility and straightforward retrofits into existing OEM equipment, saving commissioning time and rework. The enclosure is TENV with insulation class F, allowing safe operation in moist environments and enabling longer service intervals with reduced risk of insulation failure. Availability of 208/230/460 V options provides global compatibility, simplifying spare-part planning and reducing stocking complexity. An efficiency of 80% and a 62% power factor support energy-awareness initiatives and electrical code compliance in continuous-duty applications. CSA/UR and NEMA standards further reinforce quality, aiding procurement and regulatory audits. The motor’s 0.63 inch shaft diameter and 6205 ball bearings contribute to robust, maintenance-friendly operation in washdown lines, where frequent cleaning and sterilization processes are common. Overall, this model balances sanitation, reliability, and total cost of ownership for industrial food, beverage, and packaging systems.
