Fresh/Frozen
Fruits & Vegetables

This industry cleans and processes whole fresh fruit and vegetables into bags or corrugated cases for bulk distribution. Fruits and vegetables are also cut, processed and packaged in either bags or cartons before being flash frozen. This wide variety of finished products requires different power transmission solutions to meet the needs of manufacturers. Altra Industrial Motion meets the challenge with a selection of products including speed reducers, couplings, actuators, and clutch/brake modules.

Boston Gear 700 Series Stainless Steel Reducers

Designed for caustic washdown applications, units feature trusted 700 Series worm gearing, a 316 stainless rounded housing with smooth uninterrupted surfaces designed to prevent particle accumulation and pooling fluids, double lipped shaft seals, covers for all hardware and counter bored holes.

Boston Gear Bost-Kleen

Bost-Kleen and Stainless Bost-Kleen speed reducers: robust enough to handle the most caustic and high pressure washdown, strong enough to go 24/7, and priced so they won't break the bank! The performance will impress you!

Boston Gear QC700 Series Coupling

These units offer extremely fast motor-reducer assembly and feature a completely self-aligning coupling that eliminates the need for a slot in the flange. Developed for food processing applications, the QC700 Series is the first washdown-friendly NEMA coupling-mount speed reducer in its class.

Elimination of alignment hole prevents debris and bacteria buildup
   
18% shorter than standard coupling mounted reducers
   
Optional stainless steel shafts
   
Available with PosiVent® option
   
Available with Bost-Kleen™ and Stainless Bost-Kleen™ coatings


Warner Linear K2 Linear Actuator

These actuators incorporate a patented in-line load transfer design which provides high load capability for rugged-duty use, efficient power use, compact package size, excellent corrosion and washdown protection, and high performance synthetic lubrication for life, all at an affordable price.

Warner Electric Clutch/Brake Modules

Warner Electric’s Unimodule Clutch/Brake modules provide the ultimate in application versatility, from rapid cycling and accurate positioning, to soft controlled starts and stops. These modules come completely pre-assembled, pre-aligned, and pre-burnished at the factory for maximum performance right out of the box.

Boston Gear 800 Series Helical Reducers

Boston Gear's 800 Series contains a focused selection of compact, heavy duty helical gear drives that offer long-life performance and simplified maintenance. The 800 Series provides a functional interchange for SEW Eurodrive and other European manufacturers' helical gear drives, making it uniquely practical for replacement applications.

TB Wood's Dura-Flex Couplings

Up to 4.50 kNm;
39,500 in.lb.

Dura-flex couplings "split-in-half" element design allows for easy element installation/ replacement without moving connected equipment or disturbing the shaft connection. Spacer design can accommodate a large range of shaft spacing with few parts. Patented design minimizes bond stress for long coupling life. Highly flexible and able to accommodate shaft misalignment while minimizing vibration and preventing damage to connected equipment.

Easy to assemble/replace
   
High Misalignment ratings
   
No maintenance/lubrication
   
Part-for-Part interchangeable with industry standard design
   
In-stock versatile spacer design can accommodate many configurations with
few parts

TB Wood's Sure-Flex Couplings

Up to 8.20 kNm;
72,480 in.lb.

Sure-Flex is a TB Wood's original! Sure-Flex Couplings utilize a rubber (EPDM or Neoprene) or Hytrel™ thermoplastic flex element (sleeve) to transmit torque and accommodate shaft misalignments. Sure-Flex couplings have exceptional torsional flexibility, and the
4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment, and
end float. Sure-flex couplings are an excellent choice when low cost, high flexibility, vibration damping, and easy installation are primary concerns.

Easy assembly
   
Spacer, bushed hub, and clamping hub designs in stock
   
Flexible design accommodates
misalignment and protects equipment

TB Wood's V-Belt Drives

Machined for vibration-free performance at speeds up to 6500 FPM. Stock sheaves have capacities ranging from 1/2" to 108". Models offered in four types for use in a variety of packaging applications.

TB Wood's Synchronous Drives

These units combine the best of both chain and belt drives, providing positive power transmission and accurate speeds while requiring little maintenance. Load capacities scale up to 1200 HP at 1750 RPM.
