Krijn Verwijs is one of Europe’s foremost suppliers of shellfi sh products including oysters, lobster and in particular fresh blue or common mussels. In its Yerseke - Netherlands based shellfi sh production centre, rapid drive corrosion due to the seawater-infused atmosphere has long been a major concern. NORD aluminum geared motors with a special surface conversion treatment now provides an economical solution to resolve this issue. Frequent drive replacements therefore used to be the order of the day at Krijn Verwijs until the Effective, economic corrosion company learned of a new design approach for protection: nsd tupH for NORD drives deployed in aggressive environments: DRIVESYSTEMS’ ‘CLEAN DRIVE’ nsd tupH surface aluminum treatment. This drives technology enables aluminium geared motors – which can be very easily and NORD DRIVESYSTEMS corrosion-resistant drives by eff ortlessly washed manufacture down – to permanently achieve stainless means of the resistance nsd tupH to sealed surface conversion system.
