MAXXDRIVE ® industrial gear units – NORD ’ s toughest for every situation

The Food & Beverage Industries Are Fighting Surface Contamination the Wrong Way

Globally , it is estimated that over 600 The overall portfolio of MAXXDRIVE ® million people become ill from eating parallel and right-angle gear units contaminated food every year . As a result , from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a lot of attention has always been paid to high output torques from 15 to 282 human behaviors that can significantly kNm across 11 sizes . In addition to slow the spread of contagious diseases this proven standard series , NORD – especially in food processing and DRIVESYSTEMS offers the new packaging facilities .

The outstanding MAXXDRIVE ® industrial gear unit portfolio based on the NORD modular system covers all industrial application fields up to 282 kNm .
A large variation of available flange and output shaft versions ensures that the customer ’ s application is ideally matched . The mechanical and thermal design of all NORD industrial gear

MAXXDRIVE ® XT industrial gear units are available in seven sizes for powers from 50 to 1,500 kW . Another typical application for this strong range of industrial gear units from NORD includes drives for mixing and agitation processes . By equipping the compact and robust MAXXDRIVE ® industrial gear unit with reinforced bearing and flange versions ( VL2 / KL2 - VL6 / KL6 ), the drive can be optimally adjusted to application loads . Sealless IEC / NEMA adapters ( SAFOMI ) and a TRUE DRYWELL sealing at the output shaft allow for highest possible operational reliability .
