Sanitary Washdown Face-Mount AC Motors
Bolt these motors directly to conveyors and other machines to power equipment on food and sanitary lines. They help you meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) since they have many features that make them safe for sanitary and washdown environments. Smooth contours and a laser-marked nameplate limit the space where bacteria could grow. They don’t have feet, so they’re easy to rinse down thoroughly. A stainless steel enclosure, epoxy resin lined interior, and IP69 rating mean they withstand hot spraying water, harsh cleaners, and sanitizers common to food plants. A two-barrier seal keeps water from getting in through the shaft. If water does seep in, drain plugs let it out.
These motors are also called C-face motors. They’re rated for continuous duty, so they’ll run equipment that never turns off. Inverter rated, they also work with variable frequency drive (VFD) to run at different speeds. You can wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. Their conduit box also rotates to connect conduit from any side without needing to reroute power.
TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motors have a fan that cools the housing.
TENV (totally enclosed nonventilated) motors don’t need a fan or ventilation. They have even fewer places for water and contaminants to get in than TEFC motors.

Sanitary Washdown Base/Face-Mount AC Motors
For versatility in food and sanitary lines, these motors mount by their feet or bolt directly to equipment to power pumps and other machines. Many features make them safe for sanitary and washdown environments: Smooth contours and a laser-marked nameplate limit where bacteria could grow. A stainless steel enclosure, epoxy resin lined interior, and IP69 rating mean they stand up to hot spraying water, chemicals, and harsh cleaners often used in food plants. A two-barrier seal on the shaft stops water from getting in. If water does seep in, drain plugs let it out.
Rated for continuous duty, these motors run equipment that never turns off. They’re also inverter rated, so they work with variable frequency drive (VFD) to run at different speeds. You can wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. The conduit box also rotates, so there’s no need to reroute power when connecting conduit.
TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motors have a fan that cools the housing.
TENV (totally enclosed nonventilated) motors don’t need a fan or ventilation. They have even fewer places for water and contaminants to get in than TEFC motors.

Washdown AC Gearmotors
IP rated, these gearmotors stand up to high-pressure washdowns. They combine a motor with a speed reducer to lower speed while increasing torque. Their parallel shaft transmits motion inline with the motor.
Since they’re inverter-rated, you can adjust the speed with a motor speed control (not included). Wire these motors for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included.
Face-mount motors bolt directly to your equipment. They require a power cord (sold separately).
TENV (totally enclosed non-ventilated) enclosures are similar to TEFC enclosures, except they don’t have a fan. They rely on air circulation from the motion of the motor for cooling.
Motors rated IP69K protect against dust, debris, and high-temperature washdowns.
