    Equipment for Logistics and Warehousing

    Logistics centres run almost non-stop, and conveyor motors and gear motors must meet the IE3/IE4 efficiency classes of EU Regulation 2019/1781 and IP54-IP66 protection against packaging dust. We quote motors and gear motors for conveyors, pneumatic sorting systems, proximity sensors, variable frequency drives and electrical components for panels. Send the required power, the line speed and the operating environment for a quote.

    Frequently asked questions

    What efficiency class must motors have for conveyors in a logistics centre?

    Under Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 on ecodesign of electric motors, most new motors must meet at least class IE3, and for certain power ranges (about 75-200 kW, 2-4-6 pole motors), IE4 is mandatory from 2023. For conveyors running almost continuously, the efficiency difference between IE3 and older asynchronous motors translates directly into the energy bill - at a centre with hundreds of gear motors permanently active, the annual saving can be significant. We also recommend checking the real load factor against the rated power, because an oversized motor runs inefficiently regardless of class.

    What IP protection must sensors and electrical components on sorting lines have?

    For areas with dust from packaging (cardboard, film) or possible splashing during washing, IP54 or IP55 covers most applications on indoor conveyors. For docks exposed to the weather or pressure-washing areas, we recommend IP65-IP66. Proximity sensors and photoelectric barriers are also chosen according to the detection distance required and the line speed - in fast sorting (thousands of parcels per hour), the sensor's response time matters as much as mechanical protection, because a sensor that is too slow misses detections at high speeds.

    What role does a variable frequency drive play on a sorting conveyor?

    The variable frequency drive allows smooth starting and stopping of the conveyor, without mechanical shock to the transmission and parcels, speed adjustment according to the traffic volume at that time of day and, not least, energy savings at partial load. For high-capacity sorting lines, speed synchronisation between adjacent segments through centrally controlled drives avoids build-ups or gaps on the belt. Choosing the right drive takes into account the motor power, the starting current allowed on the building's electrical network and the type of communication used for integration with the central control system.

    Which gear motor do I choose for a conveyor running continuously 24/7?

    For continuous operation, gear motors must be sized with an adequate service factor, not at the limit, to avoid overheating and premature wear of the gears in the long term. We recommend at least class IE3 for the electrical part, a housing with IP54/55 protection for the warehouse environment, and checking the reduction ratio against the desired linear belt speed. Preventive maintenance (checking gearbox oil, vibration, bearing temperature) significantly reduces the risk of unplanned stoppages - at a centre processing thousands of parcels per hour, every minute of stoppage directly affects scheduled deliveries.

    What do we send for a quote on equipment for a new logistics centre or an extension?

    For motors and gear motors: the required power, the reduction ratio, the line speed and the operating environment (temperature, dust, humidity). For automation: the number of sorting points, the type of sensors wanted and the communication diagram of the central system. For pneumatics: the available air pressure and the number of cycles per hour. With these data we prepare a complete quote - for standard SEW and Siemens components, in the usual sizes, the lead time is 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier, essential for a centre that cannot afford a prolonged stoppage.
