NORD DRIVESYSTEMS at iba 2018

Represented for the first time at iba in Munich , from 15 to 20 September 2018 , NORD DRIVESYSTEMS presents its hygiene-friendly drive units for the bakery industry . The lightweight , corrosionresistant drive units , smooth motors , frequency inverters and motor starters in washdown-optimised cast aluminium housings provide an economical alternative to stainless steel geared motors due to their nsd tupH surface treatment .
Agitators , conveyor systems , weighing and filling plants or packaging machinery : NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers efficient and hygienic drive solutions for the bakery industry . The manufacturer ’ s innovative inverter technology guarantees high positioning accuracy and reliable implementation of dynamic sequences . The drive units can be controlled individually in order to regulate , for

Corrosion protection in demanding environments
For use in demanding environments , such as the bakery industry , NORD has developed the outstanding nsd tupH anticorrosion treatment for aluminium drives . With this process , the material is hardened below the surface . Due to an electrolytic process , a protective layer is created , which is permanently bonded with the substrate material . This way , aluminium becomes similarly corrosion-resistant to stainless steel . The drives can easily withstand contact with a great variety of aggressive media or high pressure steam washing .
An economical alternative with many variants
nsd tupH drive units are a robust and durable alternative to painted geared motors or stainless steel drive units . The nsd tupH treatment is available for all NORD aluminium products , unlike stainless steel drives , which are only offered in a small number of versions .
For nsd tupH aluminium drive units , all DIN and standard components , including drive shafts , are made from stainless steel . The fanless smooth motors do not spread germs and run very quietly . They are available as synchronous and asynchronous motors and fulfil efficiency classes IE2 and IE3 ( asynchronous motors ) and IE4 ( synchronous motors ). NORD also offers the drive units in ATEX versions .
