The stainless steel gearboxes are made of a smooth stainless gear housing, they are life lubricated, and can of course be supplied with oil approved for the food industry. To reduce the risk of bacterial growth, the design is characterised by smooth machined surfaces without unnecessary flanges, recesses and mounting holes. It is also possible to order the gearboxes with torque arm, side flange, free worm and plug-in shaft. Other adjustments are performed on request.
Self-locking mechanism There are several factors that can affect the gear's ability to self-lock, and it's important to emphasize that you generally cannot rely 100% on a gear being self-locking.Â

Hygienic and easy-to-clean
Protection degree of minimum IP65
Made in three sizes: 31, 42 and 61

Service factor:
The operating conditions are of importance to
the durability of the gearbox. The gearbox should
therefore be dimensioned according to the service
factors.

a standard electric AC motor.

Case study
FF Engineering
FF Engineering has developed and produced its largest cheese processing and packaging system to date for an international cheese manufacturer. The advanced de-foiling and processing line automates the entire flow from pallet handling and disinfection to unpacking, shredding and packaging of cheese blocks.
To support the demanding hygienic and operational requirements, BJ-Gear A/S supplied premium stainless steel worm gearboxes, stainless steel motors and waterproof bearing solutions designed for intensive washdown environments and continuous operation. The collaboration resulted in a highly automated, efficient and future-proof production system capable of handling more than 5 tons of cheese per hour.
