Couplings for the food industry - SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG

Couplings for the food industry
SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG provides adapted coupling solutions for the food industry. A variety of compact and precise couplings are
used in the production and processing of baked goods, meat products and cheeses, in the packaging of finished end products – in
the entire process of the food industry.
Baked goods
Used in automated baking machines with rotating racks and rotary tables for uniform baking
quality. The racks move in a user-friendly manner into the oven without touching the floor
and are then placed in the rotating mechanism by a lifting device.
Use of the Loewe ® GK 100 in steel and linear version for moving into the rotating device.
The coupling provides the rotating and lifting function for the pushed-in roll-in racks. Here,
very high standards are required of the axial stiffness and of the parallel and angular equalisation.
Angular misalignment: 2°
Radial shaft misalignment: +/- 4 mm
Maximum torque: 300 Nm
Max. axial load: 13.000 N
Meat products
Used in continuous systems for meat product production. The products pass through different
chambers for several treatment methods, such as the heat treatment section (drying,
smoking, cooking) and the cooling section (showering, cooling). The chambers are driven
outside the product area by worm gears. Misalignments and twisting occur because of the
different temperature ranges.
Use of the Semiflex ® Compact Plus in special sizes:
Compact design: External diameter 79 mm, length 90 mm
Radial misalignment: +/- 1 mm, angular misalignment: 1°
Quick fitting using clamp hubs for rapid changeovers
Torque:100 Nm
Packaging
Use of the Schmidt-Kupplung ® completely manufactured from VA and with advanced performance
plain bearings for packaging machines in the food industry and for systems that
frequently undergo washing processes.

Sector-specific designs
Our know-how in drive technology is based
on 45 years of experience. We understand
the applications in the most diverse sectors
and provide specially tailored coupling designs.
Application-specific solutions
We provide coupling solutions adapted precisely to application-specific requirements,
with special emphasis on customer proximity and orientation combined
with technical creativity.
We support the user in each phase of conception and implementation of a project
and give priority to optimisation of the individual drive train.
Besides expert advice – also gladly provided on location – we offer additional
services such as FEM analysis, coordination of prototypes and preparation of
rapid prototyping models, as well as confirmation of the calculated design data on
modern test benches.
