Powerful drives for the packaging industry from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS
Electric drives play an essential role in all processing phases of the packaging industry . NORD therefore offers powerful drives in various performance levels for primary , secondary and end-ofline applications - including both synchronous and asynchronous motors ( IE3 or IE5 +) with parallel shaft gear units , helical gear units or bevel gear units and centralized or decentralized frequency inverters .
In the primary packaging sector , food , pharmaceuticals and other hygiene-sensitive products are often packaged . Drive systems in these applications must therefore be easy to clean and resistant to chemical detergent and possible contamination . NORD offers FDA-certified drive units up to protection class IP69K as well as modular and flexible worm gear units from the UNIVERSAL SI or SMI series with smooth surfaces . The patented DuoDrive from NORD in a hygiene-friendly design is also predestined for applications in the primary sector . In this geared motor unit , an IE5 + motor is integrated into a spur gear unit . This not only achieves a high level of system efficiency , but also ensures fewer wearing parts and reduced maintenance requirements for further positive cost effects .
In the secondary packaging sector , electric drives have become much more popular than pneumatic drives in recent years . NORD offers efficient drive solutions for the machines used in this area , which are used in conveyor belt and labeling applications , among others . The NORD IE5 + synchronous motor impresses with maximum energy efficiency and exceeds the previously defined efficiency classes . As the permanent magnet synchronous motor achieves its constant torque over a wide speed range , it enables a reduction in the number of drive variants in an overall system . This in turn reduces

management costs and therefore also the TCO .
NORD ’ s drive solutions also promise high energy efficiency and low total cost of ownership ( TCO ) for the end-of-line sector . In the packaging of food and beverages , for example , cost advantages of up to 50 % can be realized with NORD asynchronous motors . Centrally controlled servomotors
are usually used here . In contrast , controlled asynchronous motors from NORD represent an efficient and economical alternative . When used with decentralized frequency inverters such as the NORDAC ON , components such as control cabinets are also eliminated , and the costs for cabling and installation are significantly reduced .
The modular product system , the global services with customerspecific support and the wide range of standardized components and customer-specific solutions from NORD are key success factors for economical and efficient drive solutions in packaging technology - which can make a significant contribution to reducing a company ’ s total cost of ownership ( TCO ) and energy consumption .
