Festo developed a customized brushless motor solution for Tetra Pak filling machines to replace an existing motor. The project took two years and involved developing motors with special features like integrated controllers, gearboxes, and firmware to meet Tetra Pak's requirements. Tetra Pak approved Festo as the supplier for this application, forecasting orders of 500 motors per year.

Final result
After some considerations it was decided that the
CAP30 Applicator, a complete distribution unit for
applying all caps available on the market, needed five
motors for its quick format change.

The Festo solution


In cooperation with Tetra Pak we installed an MTR-ECI
motor able to fulfil all the requirements.

Festo has developed a brushless motor with absolute


multiturn encoder and the following special features:

MTR-ECI-52R-MG25-R3DN-FG-SA, straight gearbox


• NSF-H1-H1 lubrication on the gearbox
• Special drawing gearbox with ratio 25:1
