The modern packaging industry isn’t just about wrapping and securing products; it’s about integrating efficiency, sustainability, and innovation into the process. As the landscape of packaging evolves, the role of drive technology becomes pivotal. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, a global frontrunner in providing electrical, mechanical, and electronic drive technology, is pioneering this transformation.
When it comes to packaging, the process is often broken down into primary, secondary, and end-of-line stages. Each stage has unique requirements, but the goal remains consistent: optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product integrity. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, with its versatile solutions, addresses these needs at every step.
Primary Packaging: For sectors like the food and beverage industry, hygiene is paramount. Primary packaging necessitates drives that can withstand rigorous cleaning and adhere to FDA standards. NORD’s answer? The innovative nsd tupH surface treatment. This treatment gives aluminium housings corrosion resistance on par with stainless steel, making them apt for hygienically critical applications. Moreover, with better heat conductivity, these lightweight aluminium motors can be more compact and efficient.
Secondary Packaging: As we move to secondary packaging, the focus shifts to conveyance and labelling. Many industries still rely on pneumatic drive systems, but NORD presents a compelling argument for electric alternatives. Electrical drive systems, with their precise control and efficiency, can revolutionize processes like box sealing or loading. NORD’s worm gear units exemplify this shift, bringing simplicity and speed to the table.
End-of-line Packaging: The final stage, end-of-line packaging, poses its own set of challenges. Heavy loads, dynamic changes, and slow movements dominate this phase. Although the industry has leaned towards centrally controlled synchronous servo motors, NORD offers a potential game-changer: asynchronous drive systems. These systems, when paired with decentralised frequency inverters like NORDAC FLEX SK 200E or NORDAC ON SK 300P, bring motion control to the next level. And the best part? Potential cost savings of up to 50%.
A Paradigm Shift in Packaging
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS isn’t just offering products; they’re advocating a paradigm shift. By emphasizing a modular system, industry expertise, global services, and customised solutions, they’re challenging the packaging industry to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine. The goal isn’t just better packaging—it’s about achieving an optimal balance of quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
In a world where the packaging process is as crucial as the product itself, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is ensuring that businesses are equipped with the best. Through their innovations, they’re not just reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) but paving the way for a smarter, more efficient future in packaging.
