STAINLESS STEEL TORQUE LIMITERS AND SHAFT COUPLINGS SECURE DRIVES IN THE PACKAGING AND PROCESS INDUSTRY
In the packaging and process industries, drive systems must operate reliably despite abrasive media, dust, corrosion, fluctuating loads and unpredictable disturbances. To ensure safe operation of conveying systems, dosing equipment and machinery for processing powders, granulates and liquids, robust solutions for power transmission and overload protection are essential. Stainless steel torque limiters( safety couplings) and shaft couplings fulfil these requirements by combining reliable torque transmission with high mechanical durability.
Conveyors, mixers, pumps and agitators form the backbone of production lines— from beverage filling systems to powder and granulate handling. These machines require continuous operation while being protected from overload, misalignment and abrasive wear. CIP / SIP processes and chemical exposure demand corrosion-resistant, hygienic and lowmaintenance components. Stainless steel provides these benefits thanks to its resistance to chemicals, moisture and temperature variations. them suitable for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
Torque limiters disconnect the drive when a defined torque is exceeded, protecting against damage from blockages or foreign objects in screw conveyors, mixers or dosing systems. Typical uses include discharge screws beneath silos or filling systems experiencing torque spikes. ENEMAC torque limiters feature backlash-free design and 360 ° synchronous re-engagement for fast restart after faults.
Shaft couplings ensure precise and reliable power transmission between motors, gearboxes and driven components, even under misalignment. Elastomer couplings provide damping for dynamic equipment, while metal bellows couplings offer hygienic, backlash-free precision for filling and dosing systems. Stainless steel designs withstand aggressive cleaning agents and harsh environments.
Couplings in these environments must compensate axial, radial and angular misalignment while withstanding shock loads, vibrations and frequent load changes. They also support safety functions such as overload release and emergency shutdowns. ENEMAC stainless steel couplings combine long-term mechanical stability with hygiene compliance, making www. enemac. de | www. enemac. eu info @ enemac. de
