Nidec has been creating durable and reliable motors for decades. Our food and beverage motors are constructed of sturdy materials and are designed to last. You’ll notice the cost-saving benefits of using a Nidec food and beverage or washdown motor thanks to that longevity, which greatly reduces your maintenance hassles.
