Packaging & filling
High cycle rates, strict hygiene standards, zero tolerance for downtime.

Filling and packaging systems combine two requirements that, at first glance, appear to be contradictory: they must be extremely fast whilst also being absolutely hygienic. High cycle rates, precise synchronization and repeatability on the one hand – strict hygiene requirements, resistance to cleaning concentrates and moisture on the other.

CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK develops specialized gearboxes for filling and packaging systems that bring these two worlds together: powerful, precise and hygienically designed – for the drinks, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Typical requirements for the gearbox

• High cycle rates with precise repeatability for synchronized processes
• Hygienic design with high sealing integrity and easy-to-clean surfaces
• Resistance to strong cleaning concentrates, moisture and steam
• Various IP protection classes and corrosion-resistant designs depending on the application
• Compact designs for integration into complex plant layouts
• Long maintenance intervals for high plant availability
