NORD DRIVESYSTEMS at interpack 2023

At interpack in Dusseldorf, the drive specialist NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will present

At interpack in Dusseldorf, the drive specialist NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will present its wide product portfolio and great expertise in the packaging industry from 4 to 10 May 2023 – from decentralised frequency inverters to energy-efficient drives to high-performance surface treatments for wash-down or spray areas.

Whether primary, secondary or end-of-line packaging: For all stages in the packaging process. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS implements economical, sustainable and tailor-made drive solutions. They optimally meet the relevant application-specific requirements and, at the same time. Further, they can contribute to a considerable reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Visit the NORD stand C26 in Hall 6 at the interpack trade fair to find out what that means. The North German drive specialist will present its modular products and its great expertise in the field of packaging automation. The exhibition highlights include the decentralised frequency inverter NORDAC ON/ON+, the IE5+ synchronous motor, the patented DuoDrive geared motor and the nsd tupH surface treatment.

The decentralised frequency inverter NORDAC ON/ON+ is characterised by an integrated Ethernet interface (Profinet, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT can be set via parameters), full plug-in capability and a very compact design. The smart inverters are ideally suited for integration into packaging machinery. Thus, saving space as well the extensive motor cable wiring required for centralised frequency inverters. There are two versions available: NORDAC ON has been designed for use with asynchronous motors. Moreover, NORDAC ON+ is intended for the combination with high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motors.

With the IE5+ synchronous motor, NORD is setting new energy efficiency standards. Thanks to permanent magnet synchronous motor technology (PMSM), it achieves an efficiency of up to 95 percent. Further, this is relatively constant over a wide speed and torque range. The IE5+ motor thus provides an optimal energy consumption performance in partial load and partial speed ranges. Moreover, even tops the highest defined energy efficiency class IE5.

The patented DuoDrive is a revolutionary integrated gear unit/motor concept that covers power ranges of up to 3 kW. It combines the high-efficiency IE5+ motor and a single-stage helical gear unit in one housing. The constant motor torque over a wide speed range allows for consistent variant reduction and reduction of operating costs. Together with the simple plug-and-play commissioning, this results in a significant reduction in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The unventilated wash-down design with smooth surfaces meets the most stringent hygiene requirements and ensures optimum cleaning.

The nsd tupH surface treatment is available for NORDAC ON/ON+ as well as the IE5+ synchronous motor and the DuoDrive geared motor. Thanks to a special method, the surface is made corrosion-resistant and harder and makes aluminium behave like stainless steel with regard to corrosion protection. This is not a coating, but a surface treatment that creates a protective layer which is permanently bonded to the substrate material. So nothing can detach or flake off. The drives are easy to clean and largely resistant to acids and alkalis.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will present these and more drive solutions from 4 to 10 May 2023 at interpack in Dusseldorf. You will find the company at Stand C26 in Hall 6
