Power meets hygiene in STOBER’s new 3HP cLEAN motor

Discover why STOBER’s cLEAN System outperforms motorized pulleys in food processing conveyor systems. Learn how this hygienic, IP69K-rated, stainless‑steel drive system reduces downtime, prevents water ingress, and simplifies maintenance while lowering total cost of ownership.

STOBER’s cLEAN System just took a major leap forward. Already known for its uncompromising stainless-steel design, hygienic construction, and industry-leading reliability, the cLEAN motor is now available in a powerful 3HP option—giving OEMs and end users more performance for the most demanding washdown environments.

Whether you build equipment for food processing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, or any application that depends on a stainless-steel washdown motor, the new 3HP cLEAN motor delivers the strength you need without sacrificing the hygienic design you rely on.

Built for the toughest washdown environments

Some motors claim they can withstand harsh sanitation procedures. The STOBER cLEAN motor proves it.

The all-stainless-steel housing features zero weep holes, eliminating common failure points where water can pool or enter the system. The result is simple: no water ingress—ever.

This washdown-rated motor is certified to the highest standards for food-grade and hygienic applications:

  • IP68 and IP69K ratings
  • UL certified
  • Engineered specifically for sanitary, compliance-driven environments

For OEMs seeking a truly hygienic motor designed for durability, food safety, and long-term uptime, the cLEAN motor sets the standard.

Why a 3HP option? Because you asked for more power.

Machine builders fell in love with our cLEAN System’s 1- and 2- horsepower motor options, but needed a tougher, more capable 3HP stainless-steel washdown motor for heavy-duty applications. STOBER listened.

The new 3HP cLEAN motor is ideal for:

  • Incline conveyors
  • High-torque food-grade machinery
  • Packaging and processing equipment
  • Applications requiring both power and uncompromising cleanability

This motor delivers serious strength while maintaining the sanitary design that makes STOBER the most trusted name in hygienic drive systems.

New features for more control, flexibility, and performance

The cLEAN System now includes several advanced options to support more application needs and deliver cleaner, smarter, and stronger performance.

Right-angle configuration

The 3HP cLEAN motor is now available in a right-angle configuration, perfect for equipment with tight footprints or limited mounting space. It maintains the same stainless-steel, washdown-safe construction and supports the new brake option.

Power-off brake (right-angle only)

The new 24V, 15 Nm power-off brake provides safe, reliable stopping performance for incline conveyors, lifts, and other safety-critical applications.

Key advantages include:

  • 24V, 15 Nm power-off brake
  • Power supplied through the power cable—no extra wiring required
  • Available only on right-angle cLEAN motors

This feature gives OEMs confidence in applications where safety and reliability matter most.

Expanded feedback device options

Advanced motion applications demand precise, dependable feedback. The cLEAN System now offers two device families to meet a wide range of performance needs.

Resolver feedback

Rugged and accurate, resolvers are built for extreme washdown environments and long-distance signaling.

  • Compatible with cLEAN Drive
  • Wide temperature range: –55°  C to 155°  C
  • Highly reliable for demanding duty cycles
  • Supports long-distance transmission

Resolvers are ideal for high-moisture, high-pressure, or severe-duty environments where durability is critical.

Encoder feedback

When applications require high precision and fine motion control, an encoder-equipped cLEAN motor delivers excellent responsiveness.

  • Requires a servo drive
  • Ideal for application-specific tuning
  • Provides high-resolution motor feedback

Built and shipped in one day

Every STOBER cLEAN System—gearbox, stainless-steel gear motor, cable, and drive—is:

  • Built and shipped in one day from the Maysville, Kentucky, USA
  • Backed by STOBER’s industry-leading 3-year warranty
