Drive Technology in the Food Industry

Customised motorised mixer

Compact drives for refrigerators, coffee machines, and white goods.

Precise and compact drive solutions for modern home appliances and food technology

Whether refrigerator doors, coffee machines, or packaging systems – modern equipment in the food industry and white goods requires precise, energy-efficient, and durable drives. At Kern Antriebstechnik, we offer customized solutions for automatically opening and closing refrigerator doors, mixing media, precisely controlling conveyor mechanisms, and reliably automating processes in the food industry. In this article, we provide insights into our brushless outer rotor motors, ultra-flat UF motors, and direct drives.

Our motor technologies: Ultra-flat, precise, and gearless

Kern precision motors stand for maximum efficiency, compact design, and custom developments – perfect for applications with limited installation space:

  • Ultra-flat UF motors: Our UF motors feature an extremely flat design. Despite their small size, they deliver high torque – the ideal choice when space and weight are critical factors.
  • BLDC outer rotors: Our brushless outer rotor motors ensure maximum precision. They impress with direct power transmission without gears, smooth running, and exact speed control. This makes them ideal for controlling conveyor processes and automated door systems.
  • Direct drives: We develop customer-specific drive solutions – from the smallest outer rotor motors to powerful direct drives, precisely matched to your specific application.

Applications: From refrigerator doors to milk mixers

Our drive systems cover a wide range of applications in white goods and the food industry:

  • Automatic door systems: Compact drives for automatically opening and closing refrigerator doors.
  • Beverage and kitchen appliances: Reliable motors for coffee machines and specially developed milk mixer motors.
  • Conveying and automation technology: Precise control of conveyor mechanisms and process flows in food technology packaging systems.

What you can count on

Our precision motors are characterized by four key features:

  • Energy-efficient: Through precise, application-specific manufacturing, our motors deliver maximum performance with highly efficient energy usage.
  • Exceptional smooth running: Our motors are engineered for low vibration and meet the highest standards for smooth running and concentricity.
  • Durable: High-quality materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and strict quality controls ensure a long service life and high reliability.
  • Maintenance-efficient: Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing methods and modern technologies, our drives feature high robustness and low maintenance effort.
