Leeson Extreme Duck® Ultra Motors - Food Grade
Leeson knows your washdown duty motors have tough environments to face. With constant exposure to high-pressure sprays and harsh chemicals, the slightest opening could lead to motor damage or bacteria build-up. That’s why they didn’t leave anything to chance, designing a motor more watertight than ever before. The entire motor housing, including the end bells, is encapsulated for unsurpassed sealing. All to help you avoid downtime and reduce replacement costs by keeping what’s outside – out.
The Leeson Extreme Duck® Ultra Motors Are Great for the Food Industry:
• The Q-Car rotor cartridge replacement kit makes replacing worn bearings ultra-simple. No special tools, no damaged seals. The kit ensures a perfectly fitted and watertight bearing with no additional machining required in only a matter of minutes.
• Patent-pending 360° rotatable O-ring conduit box simplifies installation. An adapter within the smooth-weld conduit box allows for full rotation, convenient wire entry, and protects the non-wicking chemical- and abrasion-resistant colored leads.
• Two-piece shaft seal technology provides three points of protection on both ends of the motor. This proprietary shaft seal underwent a year of testing — 8,760 hours – to ensure what’s outside, stays out.
