NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will showcase its cutting-edge drive solutions for the food and beverage production industry at the prestigious trade fair from 19 to 22 March 2024 in Cologne. The internationally renowned event is a key platform for industry professionals to explore the latest innovations and technologies shaping the future of food and beverage production.
With a current workforce of approximately 4,700 employees, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been a pioneer in developing, manufacturing, and distributing drive technology since 1965, establishing itself as a leading global provider in the sector. Alongside its standard drive offerings, the company specializes in tailor-made solutions for unique requirements such as energy-efficient drives and explosion-proof systems.
The company reported annual sales of 870 million Euros in the 2021 financial year. It operates through 48 subsidiaries across 36 countries and maintains sales partnerships in over 50 countries, providing comprehensive technical support, local inventories, assembly facilities, and customer service. Catering to more than 100 industries, it designs and manufactures gear units capable of handling torques ranging from 10 Nm to over 282 kNm.
Additionally, the company supplies electric motors spanning from 0.12 kW to 1,000 kW and offers the necessary power electronics, including frequency inverters up to 160 kW. Their inverter solutions cater to both traditional control cabinet setups and decentralized, fully integrated drive units.
The company is set to showcase its cutting-edge drive solutions at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne from March 19 to 22, 2024. Renowned for their commitment to high energy efficiency and reduced TCO, NORD’s offerings are poised to revolutionize the food and beverage packaging industry. One of the standout solutions to be highlighted at the event is the utilization of NORD asynchronous motors in end-of-line packaging processes, which promises cost benefits of up to 50%.
Unlike conventional approaches that often rely on centrally controlled servo motors, NORD’s controlled asynchronous motors provide an efficient and economical alternative. Pairing these motors with decentralized frequency inverters like the NORDAC ON significantly streamlines operations, reducing the need for bulky control cabinets and simplifying wiring and installation efforts.
For applications where a control cabinet is necessary, NORD recommends the NORDAC PRO SK 500P, boasting a power range of up to 22 kW, perfectly suited for industrial demands. Furthermore, NORD offers tailored solutions for various stages of food and beverage processing, including the innovative NORD IE5+ synchronous motor.
This motor stands out for its exceptional energy efficiency, surpassing conventional efficiency classes and delivering constant torque across a broad speed range. This not only minimizes the need for multiple drive variants within a system but also slashes administrative costs, thereby reducing the overall TCO.
Among NORD’s showcased innovations is the DuoDrive, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food industry. This groundbreaking solution integrates an IE5+ motor into a helical gear unit, resulting in superior system efficiency. Moreover, the patented gear unit/motor combination reduces the number of wearing parts, thereby minimizing maintenance requirements and delivering additional cost savings.
Attendees of Anuga FoodTec can explore these game-changing drive solutions and more at NORD DRIVESYSTEMS’ exhibition stand A010 in Hall 7.1. With its commitment to innovation and efficiency, NORD continues to drive progress in the food and beverage packaging industry, delivering solutions that redefine performance standards and optimize operational costs.
