NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, a leading specialist in drive technology, is set to showcase its innovative drive solutions for baggage handling applications at the upcoming inter-airport Europe exhibition in Munich from October 10 to 13, 2023. With its expertise in the field, NORD addresses the challenges faced in airport baggage handling, including the need to transport baggage items of varying weights over long distances and at irregular intervals.
One standout solution offered by NORD is their IE5+ synchronous motor, known for its exceptional energy efficiency. This motor boasts an impressive energy efficiency rating of up to 93 percent, surpassing the highest standardized efficiency class, IE5. What sets NORD apart is not only the availability of this motor as a standalone component but also as an integrated drive system, which reduces the number of interfaces and consequently increases overall system efficiency.
One notable innovation is the patented DuoDrive geared motor, in which the IE5+ motor is seamlessly integrated into a helical gear unit. This combination offers outstanding efficiency and, at the same time, occupies a compact installation space. In contrast, the LogiDrive drive system features a decentralized frequency inverter, efficiently controlling the drive and directly mounted on the geared motor, simplifying installation procedures.
Crucially, NORD’s IE5+ motor design, in conjunction with the frequency inverter operation, allows for universal usage worldwide, irrespective of local mains voltage or specific energy efficiency regulations. This simplifies logistics and reduces complexity for international airport operators.
NORD’s drive technology delivers consistently high efficiency across a wide range of speeds and torque, ensuring optimal energy consumption even in partial load and speed ranges. This versatility enables a reduction in the number of drive variants within a complete system, streamlining administrative processes, production, logistics, storage, and service, ultimately leading to a significant reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for end-users.
For large conveyor systems with numerous drive units, energy efficiency is paramount. NORD offers the NORD ECO service, designed to support customers in identifying the most energy-efficient drive solution. NORD’s specialists analyze the system’s load profile to determine whether the drive configuration is optimal. If not, they recommend a more efficient setup, helping customers achieve substantial energy savings.
Visitors to inter airport Europe 2023 in Munich can explore NORD DRIVESYSTEMS’ cutting-edge solutions for the airport industry at Stand B5-1566 from October 10 to 13, 2023. NORD’s commitment to energy efficiency and innovative drive technology positions it as a valuable partner in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of airport baggage handling systems.
