ATEK Drive Solutions stands for customized system solutions in the consumer & FMCG industry around brakes and gearboxes – focusing on robust, hygienic and process-safe drive components for packaging, filling, conveying, and process machinery. Whether it’s a high-performance packaging line, filling plant, palletizer, labeler, mixer, or conveyor technology: We deliver not only individual components but also tailored drive solutions – from the first idea through design, construction, and implementation to documentation, commissioning support, as well as repair and maintenance services. This gives decision-makers a solution “from a single source” that is technically well specified and can be reliably integrated into existing machine and line concepts. We consistently consider the special requirements in FMCG – high cycle rates, frequent cleaning cycles, limited installation space, and stringent availability goals – in material selection, sealing concepts, surfaces, and protection types. Depending on the application, surfaces that are resistant to washing out, corrosion-resistant versions, and application-specific seals are possible. This results in brake and gearbox solutions that not only impress in the specification sheet but also through repeat accuracy, machine availability, and predictable maintenance in daily operation.
ATEK brakes and gearboxes for consumer & FMCG are designed to transmit movements precisely, regulate dynamically, and stop and hold safely at the right moment. This creates defined, reproducible conditions for product changes, format adjustments, troubleshooting, and maintenance, increases safety at the machine, and stabilizes quality at high line speeds. Depending on the machine concept, the system can be configured modularly and can consist of gear (transmission/torque), braking (operating and emergency braking function), and holding (hold function against backflow or load moment). The solution is typically complemented by suitable adapters, couplings, and mounting sets as well as – depending on need – a pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuation and sensor technology for condition monitoring. Thus, both economical standard variants and powerful, compact designs can be realized – suitable for load profiles, cycle rates, installation space, and cleaning regimes.
ATEK Drive Solutions supports you from design and calculation to the complete documentation of your brake and gearbox unit. Upon request, we implement design verification for braking torque up to 35,000 Nm, holding torque, thermal load, and switching frequency, as well as testing and acceptance scenarios that shorten your ramp-up phase and reduce project risks. In execution, various integration and service options are possible, such as compact designs for tight machine spaces, optimized transmissions for dynamic axes, play-free or torsionally stiff variants, corrosion-resistant materials, and monitoring functions for switching states, temperature, and wear – including options for quick replaceability in case of service. For a quick technical clarification, it suffices to send us torque, speed, switching frequency, installation space, environmental conditions (e.g., cleaning media), and machine function – we will promptly provide you with a structured proposal for the appropriate brake and gearbox configuration.
