Brazil has stood out on the
global market for the manufacture of
pectin, a soluble fibre obtained from
citrus fruits, such as orange peel, widely
used in the production of dairy products
and confectionery, such as jellies, ice
cream, yoghurts and juices.
Located in the City of Bebedouro, São
Paulo State, a new pectin manufacturing
plant is the first one Cargill has built out
of Europe, with its products targeting
markets such as Asia and South
America.
The new factory employs WEG
motors from the W22 WELL (WEG Extra
Long Life) line throughout the plant, with
compliance to the American standard
IEEE841 being a particular advantage.
It guarantees greater reliability, better corrosion resistance
and extended service
life, both for safe and
hazardous areas.
288 WEG motors
are used in several
applications at the
plant, such as pumps,
fans, exhausters,
conveyors, stirrers
and mixers.Easy installation,
low vibration levels and high mechanical
precision make the motors from the
WELL line highly suitable for the food
industry, in addition to having a painting
scheme to withstand the corrosive
environment produced by pectin.
The plant has also employed two 1316 hp W60 motors. With a compact,
lightweight and modular design, these
motors are suitable for industrial
applications such as compressors,
pumps and fans.
