Food Industry

SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG offers modified couplings 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.

Modern baking machines
feature couplings of the Loewe GK series. Rack ovens with rotating racks and turntables provide 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.
The axially stiff coupling has a special spigot shaft design, allowing it to perform the function of turning and lifting the inserted racks. Here, very high standards are required of the axial stiffness and of the parallel and angular equalisation.

Couplings in the production of meat products Couplings of the Semiflex range are employed in continuous systems in the production of meat products. The products to be processed run through several different chambers for different treatment procedures, such as the heat treatment section and the refrigeration section. The chambers are driven outside the product area by worm gears. Different temperature ranges cause shaft misalignment and tension that are equalised by the compact precision coupling.

Packaging machines
feature Schmidt-Kupplung couplings made completely of VA stainless steel and equipped with advanced performance plain bearings. The torsionally stiff high-performance coupling for large, variable radial displacement is also predestined for systems that are subject to frequent washing processes.

Please consult us about your application. We shall happily identify couplings with you that are configured for your particular application.
