New motor line with silver treatment, patented by Carpanelli Motori Elettrici S.p.A.
This new silver treatment created for aluminium alloy motors, gives the motors antibacterial properties and as such offers a valid alternative to stainless steel motors or indeed other expensive treatments. These motors are perfect for those industries, such as food and pharmacautical, where a clean and aseptic environment is needed.
This treatment gives the motors interesting characterisitcs, such as:
• Resistance to corrosive agents, bringing the motors to the same level as stainless steel motors;
• Better electrical and thermal conductivity, allowing the motor to dissipate 35% more heat than non-treated aluminium, and 10 times more than stainless steel;
• Anti-mould and germicidal properties, making these motors suitable for aseptic environments than stainless steel motors;
• High resistance to abrasive wear;
• High hardness.
The main advantages of these new motors, compared to stainless steel motors, are:
• Germicidal properties against the principal bacteria dangerous to the human organism;
• Lower weight, because aluminium weights 1/3 of stainless steel;
• Non-magnetic and therefore capable of resisting high voltages;
• High thermal conductivity (204 W/m °C) compared to stainless steel (15 W/m °C), almost 15 times more;
• Higher motor efficiency, the greater heat dissipation of aluminium keeps the motor cooler and, consequently, the lower instrinc resistance, keeps the motor’s efficiency constant;
• Lower price, because we avoid the high costs of stainless steel and its processings.
