ABB 7BVFSWDM3556-E Washdown Motor - NEMA Premium
Part Number: 7BVFSWDM3556-E
Quick Summary
ABB 7BVFSWDM3556-E is a washdown motor for food-safe conveying and processing lines. In wash-down zones, moisture, corrosion, and frequent cleaning can shorten motor life and increase maintenance costs. This design counters those challenges with a TEFC enclosure, stainless-steel frame, and sealed bearings, delivering reliable operation in harsh environments. The unit carries NEMA Premium efficiency, CSA EEV, and UR listings, aligning energy targets with regulatory requirements. With 230/460 V, 60 Hz operation and a compact 56C frame, it pairs well with standard gearboxes and drives. The result is reduced energy waste, longer service intervals, and predictable performance for high-volume food manufacturing and packaging lines.

TEFC enclosure and stainless-steel frame provide superior washdown durability, minimizing corrosion risk and maintenance costs in dairy, meat, and beverage facilities. This translates to longer motor life and lower downtime on production lines that undergo frequent cleaning and high-pressure washes, preserving uptime and regulator-friendly sanitation. The 1 HP, 60 Hz, 3-phase design delivers robust starting torque and reliable run performance, enabling consistent conveyor throughput while meeting industry standards for small- to mid-scale processing equipment. With a 56C frame and 230/460 V dual voltage capability, installation remains straightforward across multiple facilities, reducing spare-part complexity and integrating smoothly with standard VFDs and gearboxes. Premium efficiency (82.5%) lowers energy bills and supports sustainability goals, while a service factor of 1.15 provides a healthy margin for intermittent overloads common in packaging lines. The TEFC enclosure, direct-on-line starting, and 40 °C ambient tolerance offer predictable operation in busy production environments, even where space or mounting constraints require a horizontal, C-face, footless setup. Stocked at multiple warehouses and supported by a global supply chain, this motor minimizes lead times and accelerates project deployment for food and beverage automation projects.

Yes. This motor is designed for 230/460 V, 60 Hz operation in a three-phase configuration. It supports direct-on-line starting and is suitable for standard industrial power distributions. When wiring, ensure the drive-end alignment and frame compatibility with the 56C footprint and C-face mounting to maintain optimal seal integrity in washdown environments.
Key specs include a 1 HP output, rated speed around 1155 r/min (synchro: 1200 r/min), efficiency of 82.5%, and a service factor of 1.15. It is a 3-phase motor with a 56C frame, designed for continuous duty and reliable operation in demanding environments such as food processing and packaging lines.
Absolutely. The motor features a TEFC enclosure and stainless-steel frame, specifically chosen for hygienic washdown areas. It offers reliable sealing against moisture and cleaning agents, a 40 °C ambient rating, and a design focus on sanitation, which helps meet food-industry cleanliness standards while delivering consistent performance on conveyors and processing equipment.
The 7BVFSWDM3556-E carries NEMA Premium efficiency, CSA EEV, and UR listings, which support regulatory compliance and energy targets. While not explicitly listed for SIL or CE in the provided data, these certifications align with advanced industrial safety, performance, and quality requirements typical for premium-standard motors used in demanding environments.
Maintenance benefits come from sealed 6205 bearings and a stainless-steel frame that resist washdown corrosion, reducing downtime. The motor's high efficiency lowers energy costs, and the 1.15 service factor provides margin for brief overloads, improving uptime and return on investment for high-volume lines. Availability from multiple warehouses also shortens lead times and supports rapid deployment.
