Boston Gear BKHF72625B5HT1 Wash Down Speed Reducer

Boston Gear BKHF72625B5HT1 Wash Down Speed Reducer is part of Boston Gear's BK line of washdown-ready gear reducers, designed to withstand caustic washdowns in food and beverage environments. It provides a 25:1 reduction ratio, lowering motor speed while increasing output torque to drive conveyors, bottling and packaging lines, and other line equipment in sanitary applications. The BK series utilizes a two-part epoxy coating—the Bost-Kleen treatment—that protects the entire reducer from exposure to water, solvents, salt, and caustic cleaners, enabling reliable service in frequent cleaning cycles. This makes the unit suitable for installations where sanitation and corrosion resistance are critical, and it is designed to integrate with other 700-series components for easy retrofitting or replacement in existing equipment. Common applications include bottling, capping, and other packaging-line tasks in sanitary environments. Designed for industrial environments requiring frequent cleaning, it emphasizes corrosion resistance and straightforward maintenance. The 25:1 ratio reduces motor speed to deliver higher output torque for driven loads while allowing the existing motor to operate within its nominal speed range.
