Food & Beverage Producers are Switching to Techtop

Why NZ Food & Beverage Producers are switching to Techtop Electric MotorsIt's more than just the reliability and hassle-free performance.New Zealand’s food and beverage industry is built on consistency, hygiene, and efficiency, whether you're packing avocados in the Bay of Plenty, brewing beer in Nelson, or processing milk in Waikato.At the heart of it all?Electric motors are powering everything. Your lines, your mixers, your conveyors, your pumps, and your chillers.But when those #electricmotors start causing problems, production slows, product quality suffers, and your team spends more time troubleshooting than producing.Contact an expert on sales@johnbrooks.co.nz or call 0800 48 49 505 common issues in the Food & Beverage sector Costly Downtime - Unexpected motor failures bring your whole operation to a halt. In an export-focused economy like ours, a single delay can cause missed shipments and wasted product. Contamination Risks - Poorly sealed or open-framed motors can harbour bacteria or allow foreign particles into your food line, risking non-compliance with MPI standards or your export certifications. Inconsistent Performance - Struggling to maintain steady torque or speed can lead to overfilled packaging, poor batching, or uneven mixing. This directly impacts yield and customer satisfaction. Moisture and Washdown Environments - High-pressure washdowns and humid conditions are part of everyday life. Motors not designed for these environments quickly corrode, short out, or seize up – especially if the seals have worn out. Rising Energy Costs - Older or inefficient electric motors consume more electricity. If you’re noticing power bills creeping up despite the same output, your motors could be to blame.Signs it's time to replace your electric motorNot sure if your current motors are still pulling their weight? Here are some red flags to watch for:Frequent Breakdowns or Repairs – If you're calling in the sparky more than usual, you're likely losing more money on maintenance than a replacement would cost. Overheating – Excessive heat is a common sign of internal wear or overload. Unusual Noise or Vibration – Grinding, humming, or rattling usually means mechanical issues are developing inside. Spikes in Power Use – Motors drawing more amps than usual are typically running inefficiently or compensating for internal faults. Visible Corrosion or Water Ingress – Moisture inside the housing is a clear sign your motor isn't handling the environment. Sluggish or Inconsistent Performance – Lagging start-ups or fluctuating speed means the motor is struggling to keep up.How Techtop Motors solves these headachesEngineered for NZ conditions, Techtop electric motors are built to handle harsh, wet, and washdown-heavy environments. These motors have sealed enclosures, corrosion-resistant finishes, and robust internals designed for demanding applications.Hygienic and Easy to Clean - With smooth surfaces, stainless steel options, and totally enclosed designs, Techtop motors make it easier to meet NZ food safety and export standards. Reliable, Consistent Performance - From mixing to bottling, Techtop motors deliver steady torque and speed — reducing rework, product variation, and bottlenecking. Longer Life. Less Downtime - With high-spec bearings, superior insulation, and quality components, Techtop motors are built to last. Fewer failures and less time standing around waiting for repairs.Partner with John Brooks — Local Experts in MotionJohn Brooks has been helping the New Zealand Food and Beverage Sector stay up and running for over 60 years.
