At iba 2023, Nord Drivesystems will showcase its extensive range of drives, with a specific focus on delivering reliable, efficient, and easy-to-clean drive solutions for the food manufacturing industry. Offering an excellent alternative to stainless steel, their nsd tupH surface treatment process ensures highly corrosion-resistant drive surfaces.
This revolutionary treatment is not simply a coating, but rather an electrolytic process that creates a protective layer fused permanently to the substrate material. This unique bonding ensures that no detachment or flaking occurs. Drives treated with the nsd tupH surface treatment exhibit remarkable resistance to acids and alkalis, providing reliable and hygienic cleaning. Consequently, these drives find ideal applications in critical areas within the food, beverage, and packaging industry.
Recognizing the specific requirements of the food and beverage industry, Nord Drivesystems has designed the innovative IE5+ motor generation. This motor generation caters to both the food or beverage industry and the intralogistics sector. Available in fanless and smooth versions up to a power of 4.0 kW, these motors deliver continuous torque ranging from 1.6 to 18.2 Nm and speeds from 0 to 2,100 min-1.
The fanless variant, with its sleek and hygienic design, offers exceptional efficiency, ease of cleaning, corrosion resistance, and wash-down capability. As a result, it is a reliable choice for use in highly hygienic environments. Additional options such as the nsd tupH surface treatment and the IP69K protection class are also available. Notably, the compact and energy-efficient synchronous motors maintain a constant high efficiency, reaching up to 95% in a wide torque range. This ensures optimal energy consumption performance even during partial load and speed variations.
Moreover, Nord Drivesystems introduces the Safomi-IEC adapter, a specialized solution designed specifically for mixers and agitators. This innovative adapter features an integrated oil expansion chamber, reducing maintenance and enhancing the reliability of Maxxdrive industrial gear units.
Featuring a compact and straightforward design, the Safomi-IEC adapter eliminates the need for oil tanks, hoses, and radial shaft seals, which are prone to leakage and wear. Available for Maxxdrive parallel gear units, this adapter covers sizes 7 to 11, offering maximum output torques ranging from 25 to 75 kNm. The combination of the Maxxdrive industrial gear unit, Safomi-IEC adapter, and a drive motor presents an optimal solution for mixer and agitator applications, reducing wear and the need for additional components.
