With nsd tupH , NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a special treatment , which makes drive surfaces with aluminium housings particularly corrosion-resistant , similar to stainless steel . This is not a coating , but a treatment based on an electrolytic process that creates a protective layer that is permanently bonded to the substrate material . So nothing can detach or flake off . Drives with the nsd tupH surface treatment are largely resistant to acids and alkalis , and easy to clean .

“ The nsd tupH surface treatment has already proven its quality in numerous practical applications in food and pharmaceutical companies ”, says Jörg Niermann , Head of Marketing . “ In a company that processes seafood and shellfish , the technology has proven itself under especially hard conditions .” Here , salt water takes its particular toll on the drive components so that the previous cast-iron versions had to be replaced after one or two years . The nsd tupH-protected units , however , have been used for a long time now .
