Stainless steel overload protection for food production - torque limiter for indirect drives in the application
Drive technology specialist ENEMAC from Germany has felt at home in the food production and packaging sector for more than 40 years . Again and again , customers place special requirements on the manufacturer ’ s products .
This was also the case for a food packaging company . They were looking for a solution to safeguard a cup filling machine .
Cup filling machines are an indispensable component in the modern food industry . They enable efficient and precise filling of food into cups or other containers of various sizes and materials . They play a crucial role in the automation of filling processes , which not only increases production speed , but also improves the accuracy and consistency of filling .
The versatility of cup filling machines makes it possible to fill a wide range of food products , including liquids such as yoghurt , sauces and drinks , semi-solid products such as puddings and fruit pieces , as well as solid products such as salads , snacks and confectionery . Adaptable to different packaging sizes and types , cup filling machines can meet the requirements of different products while maximising efficiency on the production line .
If a cup is damaged or positioned imprecisely during the filling process , this can disrupt or even interrupt the entire production process . There is also a considerable risk of contamination , which can lead to recalls by the manufacturer , resulting in high costs . The mechanics of the machine can also be damaged in the further course of the process .

To prevent this damage and stop further operation of the machine , a stainless steel ENEMAC safety coupling type ECG _ ES was used in the drive train . A safety clutch generally transmits the torque up to a preset disengagement torque . If this torque is exceeded , for example due to a blockage in the filling process , it separates the input and output so that no more forces are transmitted .
The ECG _ ES offers a reliable solution for disengagement torques between 2 and 900 Nm . With 14 different sizes and 2 designs - with and without axial locking - this product offers maximum flexibility and adaptability .
ENEMAC offers a wide range of stainless steel torque limiters for applications in the medical , food , beverage and chemical industries . All products are :
1 . robust and durable : manufactured from high quality stainless steel to ensure a long service life and high performance in hygienic applications .
2 . versatility : with a temperature range of -30 ° to + 150 ° C , these couplings are suitable for a wide range of environments , from extreme cold to hot operating conditions
3 . reliable safety : protection is purely mechanical , with positive disconnection within fractions of a second , regardless of power failures
4 . easy cleaning : All parts are stainless and can thus be cleaned in the process .
5 . easy restart of the machine : ENEMAC safety couplings are selfengaging and can continue to be used without disassembly when the motor starts up slowly
