solutions for special circumstances
such as confined installation spaces.
For harsh environmental conditions
and also corrosion protection,
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers its selfdeveloped
nsd tupH surface treatment.
The technology provides unique corrosion
protection, comparable to
stainless steel, with an excellent priceperformance
ratio. Since it is not a
paint layer, there is no surface peeling
or flaking.
With explosion protection as
standard
“We also offer many drive components
with explosion protection according
to the ATEX directive as standard”,
Niermann highlights. Explosion
protection is of special importance
in the bakery industry. Flour dust and
other grounded organic substances
are highly flammable in their unprocessed
form. The same applies to
NORD also supplies the high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motors as an easy-to-clean, smoothsurface
and fanless version.

alcohol used in the preparation of
cake or confectionery, for example.
To make the use of such ingredients
safe, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers
a wide range of ATEX-certified
components.
The SAFOMI-IEC adapter for agitators acts as an IEC adapter and oil expansion chamber, increases
operational reliability and reduces maintenance effort.

Total Cost of Ownership
Whether from the modular system or
individually developed: NORD drive
solutions are characterised by high
energy efficiency. Energy-saving individual
components and integrated
solutions with high system efficiency
ensure efficient machine operation.
For conveyor belts or cutting
equipment, for example, NORD offers
high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous
drives. They are controlled by NORD
frequency inverters which not only
guarantee highest energy efficiency.
Via their standard PLC (programmable
logic controller), individual additional
functions such as metering units
and enrobing systems can also be
integrated into the higher-level control
system as interlinked production
components.
The constant torques of NORD
components over a wide speed range
also make it possible to significantly
reduce the number of different
drive units within larger systems.
This variant reduction minimises
administrative costs and streamlines
logistics, storage and service
processes. All of this helps the user to
significantly reduce their Total Costs
of Ownership (TCO).
