nsd tupH: Food grade drive units for the bakery industry

Synchronised movement and flying saw with decentralised frequency inverters

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has thoroughly redesigned its two-stage SK 02040.1 helical worm gear unit. The new SK 02040.1, made from high strength aluminium, replaces the previous cast iron product. The one-piece die cast UNICASE housing guarantees maximum strength and rigidity with low weight. In addition, aluminium is considerably more corrosion-resistant than steel and can be further protected with the aid of additional measures such as the highly effective nsd tupH surface treatment.

Pumping, agitating, mixing – NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers reliable drive technology with reinforced bearings and increased bearing spacing for the processing industry. This ensures maximum radial and axial load capacities and a higher service life of the gear units.

Whether in the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industries: Flammable gases and dust in processing industries create serious safety risks for people and machines. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been a certified manufacturer for many years and since 2003 its range includes ATEX compliant drive solutions such as dust or gas explosion protected motors, gear units and electronic drive technology for Zones 1, 2, 21 or 22.

Industrial gear units are drive technology heavyweights which need to handle large torques. Due to the large forces involved, small defects which are not detected in time can quickly result in complete breakdowns. This would not only be expensive, but also disastrous: major plant components would remain at a standstill until a replacement was delivered and installed. Because of this, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS uses condition monitoring and predictive maintenance to achieve maximum plant availability and high cost-efficiency.

Different gear units and motor types, sizes, options and gear ratios often result in a large variety of drive versions – a considerable cost factor. A reduction in the number of variants can result in optimised processes and costs. The LogiDrive standardised IE4 geared motor versions are the solution for intralogistics.

The "life cycle costs" of drive solutions include all of the costs which are incurred, from purchase and commissioning, use and maintenance, up to disposal. To optimise the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers individual TCO calculations, integrated concepts for costs and efficiency optimisation as well as powerful and efficient drive technology.

Functional safety of plant and machinery is of vital importance in production. With the SK TU4-PNS PROFIsafe interface module, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides even greater safety. The optional module meets the most stringent safety requirements, enables flexible integration of various safety components and ensures secure communication in PROFINET environments.

The NORDAC LINK series was specially developed for applications in modern, networked intralogistics systems and provides a convenient drive solution for flexible, decentralised installation. The efficient field distributors can be configured for the specific application and ensure quick and safe commissioning, and thanks to the integrated PLC can carry out complete process controls and regulate processes autonomously.
