Form, Fill and Seal

Power transmission solutions that can withstand dust and condensation

Whether you are building single head filling machines or an entire form/fill/seal machine, you continue to be challenged to provide innovative solutions to meet the every changing market requirements for packaging. The team at Boston Gear has continued to innovate its speed reducer family to meet the changing needs of your customers.

Year after year, our Bost-Kleen and Stainless speed reducers will withstand the dust, temperature, condensation, aggresive seasonings and even the most caustic washdown. The new 700 series with PosiVent offers an entirely unique pressure compensation system that eliminates the breather vent and keeps contaminants out! The new QC700 series features a self aligning coupling that eliminates the need for a slot in the flange. This smooth clean flange eliminates the coupling alignment hole to ensure that debris and bacteria will not collect on this reducer. Warner Electric's washdown Electro Pack Clutch/Brake can also handle the most demanding environments, keeping wear particles in and contaminants out. Turn to Boston Gear and Warner Electric for your washdown power transmission needs.


Even in the most demanding
environments, Warner Electric’s
Washdown Electro Pack Clutch/
Brakes (EP-W) will weather the storm. Designed specifically for use in food, sanitary or any other washdown application, these packaged clutch/
brakes are totally enclosed in smooth, completely sealed, rugged enclosures to keep wear particles in and contaminants out.


The new Quick-Connect (QC) speed reducer from Boston Gear contains a unique, patent-pending, self-aligning coupling which allows NEMA motor/
gearbox assembly to be done in 10 seconds or less! The QC eliminates the need for a coupling alignment slot in the input flange, thus providing
complete washdown resistance to
the motor/gearbox assembly.


Integrate Centric overload clutches into your machine and reduce the damage and lost productivity that can occur due to equipment jams or loading problems. Centric clutches
provide a more accurate method
of torque control over thousands
of trips with no operator intervention.






Boston Gear Bost-Kleen™ and
Stainless Bost-Kleen™ speed
reducers: robust enough to handle the most caustic and high pressure washdown, strong enough to go 24/7, and priced so they won't break the bank. The performance will impress you.


Designed for caustic washdown
applications, units feature trusted 700 Series worm gearing, a 316 stainless rounded housing with smooth uninterrupted surfaces designed to prevent particle accumulation and pooling fluids, double lipped shaft seals, covers for all hardware and counter bored holes.

A wide selection of couplings are offered including precision and large precision bellows couplings which provide excellent kinetic properties. Zero backlash single piece couplings are available in six beam (two stage), three beam (single stage), and single beam models. Various types of general purpose couplings are also available.


A unique motor adapter and bushing module system design allow for quick and easy mounting of our gearheads to all popular servomotors. Stainless steel construction. In-line, right angle and high speed models are available.


These units combine the best of both chain and belt drives, providing positive power transmission and accurate speeds while requiring little maintenance. Load capacities scale up to 1200 HP at 1750 RPM.


These metal disc couplings consist of two hubs, a spacer and two high strength carbon or stainless steel flexible discs. Units feature zero backlash, require no maintenance and are easily interchangeable. Modified and special designs are commonly supplied to meet specific application conditions. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, or with corrosion resistant coatings. Close couple, spacer and floating shaft designs are also available.


Warner Electric’s Unimodule Clutch/Brake modules provide the ultimate in application versatility, from rapid cycling and accurate positioning, to soft controlled starts and stops. These modules come completely
pre-assembled, pre-aligned, and
pre-burnished at the factory for
maximum performance right out
of the box.
