STORAGE, HANDLING & DISTRIBUTION
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY
NORD
DRIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CONTINUOUS CONVEYORS
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers powerful drive
systems for transporting bulk materials that
are characterised by maximum reliability,
safety and robustness and ensure smooth
operation even under the toughest
environmental conditions.
Bulk material handling makes great
demands on conveyor belts and their
drive technology. Different conveyors are
required according to the direction of
transport, volume flow, conveyor length
and construction. Reliable and robust
NORD drive units ensure uninterrupted flow
of materials. They ensure a precise, dynamic
flow of materials which can be individually
controlled.
Belt conveyors are conveyor systems
which are used for continuous transport
of general and bulk materials, for example
in mining, mechanical engineering or in
the field of plastic and paper recycling.
Especially large conveyor lengths,
quantities and speeds can be implemented.
Belt conveyors feature a continuous rubber
or plastic belt as well as tensile elements for
strength. The conveyor belt passes over at
least two drums, whereby at least one drum
is powered and moves the belt through
wrapping friction.
INDUSTRIAL GEAR UNITS FOR
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Durable and low maintenance MAXXDRIVE
industrial gear units in which the bearing
points and sealing surfaces of the UNICASE
housing are produced in a single operation
are ideal for large belt conveyors with high
capacity. The latest generation MAXXDRIVE®
XT has been supplemented with an
application-optimised two-stage helical
bevel gear unit – ideal for belt conveyor
systems in the bulk materials and mineral
industries. The power and speed range has
been specially adapted to the needs of the
target industries.
Thanks to their two versions, helical or bevel
gear units with flange mounted or push-
on housings can be mounted parallel or at
right angles to the axis in conveyor systems.
They can be combined with a foot-mounted,
high efficiency IE3 motor on a motor rocker
or frame and are connected to the motor
via a hydraulic coupling. As most bucket
conveyor applications involve production
of dust, there is a risk of explosion if the
dust is flammable. In this case, motors
150
PECM Issue 39
and geared motors with customised
explosion protection are used, which
NORD assembles from its modular range
according to individual requirements. The
practical maintenance package from NORD
- a combination of protective measures
and monitoring systems - ensures that the
investment functions even under harsh
ambient conditions such as continuous
operation, dust and the effects of weather.
