Powering the Smart Kitchen: What Motors Are Behind Smarter Cooking?

In today’s smart homes, traditional appliances are falling behind—consumers demand quieter, more efficient, and more intelligent solutions.

Smart kitchens delight modern homes with automation, speed, and convenience. But behind this magic are silent, customized motors that power every function and innovation.

How do you choose the right motor to power smarter cooking? Here’s what you need to know to make it work.

What Smart Kitchen Facilities Use Custom Motors?

Today’s smart kitchens are filled with intelligent appliances that rely on motorized components for smooth, automated performance. From small devices to integrated kitchen systems, customized motors are essential. Here's a breakdown of common equipment:

• Coffee machines:Require high precision and stable torque. Compact DC motors offer fast grinding with low noise.

• Dishwashers:Use AC motors for strong washing pressure and brushless DC motors for water pumps and drying fans.

• Ovens:Integrate motorized fans for even heating and smart air circulation—requiring high-temperature-resistant motors.

• Smart cabinets:Use micro motors for automatic door opening and height adjustment.

• Vacuum cleaners and dryers:Rely on high-speed motors (up to 100,000 RPM) for suction and airflow control.

Each of these devices benefits from BG Motor’s tailored solutions—our high torque, long-life, and low noise motor designs ensure durable, silent operation for daily use.

Why Are Smart Kitchen Modernizations Worth It?

Smart kitchen upgrades are not just about luxury—they bring measurable benefits:

• Voice control: Allows hands-free operations through systems like Alexa or Google Home.

• Energy efficiency: Through intelligent power use helps save electricity in the long term.

• Lighting automation: Adjusts brightness for cooking or dining scenes.

• Convenience: Via app control, remote access, and programmable settings.

• Safety enhancements: Such as child locks and auto shut-off functions.

• Emotional interaction:The kitchen is the center of emotional communication in the family, and modern smart devices can reduce safety hazards and enjoy the beauty of the home environment while cooking

These modernizations need motors that are reliable, precise, low noise, and long-lasting, so the experience stays smooth and satisfying.

What Equipment in a Smart Kitchen Actually Needs a Motor?

Motors are not just in big appliances—they are the hidden drivers of convenience across the kitchen:

- Ventilation fans in range hoods use AC motors or brushless DC motors for quiet, consistent airflow.

- Microwave turntables and oven convection systems use low-noise DC motors.

- Refrigerator doors in smart kitchens may use mini motors to enable automated opening.

- Smart waste bins use compact DC motors for touch-free lid control.

- Built-in juicers, grinders, and blenders use high-speed DC motors for powerful blending.

The smarter your kitchen becomes, the more vital compact, customized motor integration becomes across each device.

If the advancement of technology does not bring happiness to humanity, then it will be of no use at all

How Do You Choose the Right Motor for a Smart Kitchen?

Motor selection isn’t just about size—it’s about performance matching and customization. Here's what to consider:

1. Noise level: Low noise motors (≤ 40dB) are critical for a peaceful kitchen.

2. Speed: High-speed motors (up to 100,000 RPM) for blenders, dryers, and vacuum systems.

3. Power requirements: Match motor voltage (DC6V–310V / AC110V–220V) to your system.

4. Protection grade: Use IP65–IP68 ratings for splash or steam exposure.

5. Compact size: Smart kitchens need space-saving motors (28mm–130mm diameter range).

6. Lifespan: Long life and high-efficiency motors reduce maintenance and downtime.

BG Motor offers full customization from shaft design to mounting layout to help you meet every requirement.
