- In an increasingly demanding market, where solar protection is no longer conceived only as a functional element but as an integral part of the comfort and energy efficiency of the home, The awning motor has gone from being a hidden component to becoming a true technological protagonist. In this context is born SOLTEX 45, the specific motor for awnings developed by Idemo Motors after a deep process of active listening to the professional sector.
An engine designed from the real experience of the installer
SOLTEX 45 born from Idemo's commitment to the sector. It is not a motor adapted to the awning: It is a motor designed from scratch for the awning. Its development was based on the knowledge transmitted by manufacturers, installers and distributors in the sun protection sector. The goal was clear: create an engine that solved real problems, not only meet technical specifications.
The result is a product that, even though it is perceived as innovative, It is already fully consolidated in the market thanks to its reliability in real installations. SOLTEX 45 It is not a technological promise; It is a proven solution.
Available in versions of 30 Nm y 50 Nm, covers practically all the usual dimensions of the residential and professional market.
Protection against water: the first real IP64 for awnings
One of the great enemies of the awning motor is humidity.. Unlike other enclosures, the awning lives outside permanently, exposed to rain, night condensation and thermal changes.
For this reason, SOLTEX 45 incorporates insulation IP64 unique in its category, achieved through a sealing rubber system designed specifically for this model. These are not standard gaskets reused from other engines: each critical point has been studied to avoid infiltrations.
SOLTEX 45: the first real IP64 motor designed specifically for awnings
The practical result is key for the installer and the end user:
- Longer engine life
- Elimination of humidity failures
- Drastic reduction of maintenance interventions
- Safety in exposed façade installations
This technical detail is one of the factors that have made the engine a reference among professionals..
Silence as standard, not as extra
Drive noise is a major source of end-user dissatisfaction. In homes with terraces or balconies, the awning is activated daily, so the sound ends up defining the perception of quality.
SOLTEX 45 has been mechanically optimized to offer a particularly quiet operation. It's not just about acoustic comfort: silence conveys precision, smoothness and mechanical robustness. For the user, means trust; for the installer, fewer complaints.
Simplify the range: one motor for all awnings
One of the great advances of the project was changing the traditional approach of the catalog. Instead of multiple references depending on the application, SOLTEX 45 It was designed to cover virtually all: extendable awnings, safe awnings, semi-box awnings, etc.
This simplification provides a direct benefit to distributors and installers: fewer references in stock and fewer selection errors.
Especially in box awnings, where closing precision is critical, the engine provides a differential solution.
Perfect closure on chest awnings: smart pressure
Closing the hood is not a simple limit switch. Requires controlled pressure to guarantee tightness without stressing the structure.
SOLTEX 45 incorporates a pressure closing system with automatic reset every 20 cycles. This means that the motor autonomously corrects small variations due to thermal expansion., canvas wear or structural settlement.
Direct advantages:
- The chest always closes tightly
- Prevents the entry of water or dirt
- Does not require periodic manual readjustments
- Post-installation maintenance is reduced
For the professional, This translates into fewer technical trips; for the user, in an awning that always works like the first day.
Full integration with climate sensors
The modern awning is an automatic element. It must react to the environment without user intervention. SOLTEX 45 It was designed with complete automation in mind and is fully compatible with Idemo's climate ecosystem..
Allows full connectivity with:
- WIRED AURA – radio wind-sun sensor with wired power
- SOLAR AURA – radio wind-sun sensor with internal battery and solar power
- EOLUX – radio wind-sun sensor with cancellation of sun function from remote control
- PLUVIA – solar radio rain sensor
- RAIN – battery operated radio rain sensor
This allows you to configure intelligent installations capable of automatically protecting the awning against wind or rain and optimizing thermal comfort depending on the sun..
Innovation that becomes standard
SOLTEX's greatest success 45 it is precisely that: not look like an experimental product. Although it introduces unprecedented solutions—real IP64, automatic closing reset, single engine for the entire range—, Its reliable behavior has made many professionals adopt it as a base motor for awnings..
Innovation stops being a risk and becomes operational peace of mind.
Ultimately, SOLTEX 45 represents a paradigm shift: the motor stops adapting to the awning and the awning begins to function as it was designed. A product born from real experience in the sector that today has become a technical reference within the automation of sun protection..
