Food Processing is a 24/7 application that calls for reliable products that require little or no maintenance and can withstand harsh chemicals and cleaners used. With these requirements in mind, Boston Gear and Warner Electric have been the preferred choice of food manufacturers around the world. Boston Gear's range of speed reducers include the PosiVent®, a patented maintenance free solution for wet or dusty environments that was awarded a Plant Engineering Product of the Year award. Warner Electric clutches and brakes can also be found in stop-start applications throughout the food industry, with particular strength in bakeries and packaging applications.
