Food-grade worm and helical gearboxes for mixers, agitators, conveyors, ovens, and packaging equipment. Stainless steel options, food-safe synthetic lubricants. FDA compliant, ISO 22000 certified. Power ratings 2.2–45 kW.
Food Industry
Anand Gears manufactures specialized food-grade gearboxes engineered for bakeries, dairies, beverage plants, confectioneries, and frozen food facilities where regulatory compliance and product safety are paramount. FDA Title 21 CFR 178.3570 food-contact surfaces, ISO 22000 food safety management, and FSSC 22000 certification are standard in our design and manufacturing processes. All gearboxes use food-safe synthetic mineral oils certified non-toxic with zero food residue risk. Optional stainless steel construction (316L) withstands repeated high-pressure washdowns, caustic sanitizers, and steam sterilization required in wet-processing zones. Sealed designs prevent food particle ingress into bearings and gears. Power ratings from 2.2 kW (small dough mixers) to 45 kW (large ribbon blenders, oven conveyors) accommodate food operations of all sizes. Complete compliance documentation and third-party audit records support customer food safety certifications.

Processing Equipment
Complete drive solutions for bakery, dairy, beverage, and confectionery operations.
Planetary and spiral mixers (2.2–11 kW) for bread and pastry production. Worm gearboxes (10:1–25:1) deliver controlled mixing torque. Food-safe design prevents dough contamination. Reversible operation for rapid bowl removal after mix cycle.
Large agitator blenders (11–30 kW) for dry ingredient mixing. Helical gearboxes (25:1–40:1) at low speeds (30–50 RPM) ensure gentle, uniform blending. Sealed design prevents flour dust ingress. Stainless steel construction for multi-product blending.
Oven conveyors (7.5–30 kW) for baked goods transport at 10–30 m/min. Helical or bevel gearboxes adapt to oven belt load and incline. IP65 sealed construction withstands oven heat and humidity. Reversible designs clear jams without stopping production.
Stirring and cooling tanks (11–22 kW) for milk, cream, cheese. Food-grade gearboxes with stainless shafts resist lactose and acid corrosion. Sealed design prevents bacterial contamination. Thermal monitoring for temperature-sensitive dairy products.
Filling machines, sealers, and labelers (2.2–7.5 kW) with precise speed control. Food-grade gearboxes ensure consistent fill weights and label alignment. Sealed design protects against product dust and moisture. Quick-change shaft couplings for product switches.
Temperature-controlled product circulation (3–15 kW). Food-safe gearboxes handle heat and pressure from steam jacketing. Stainless steel construction for sanitary operation. Temperature sensors monitor gearbox thermal stability during extended cooking cycles.
