NORD Displays Cost-Effective Solutions at IPPE 2023
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will be showcasing their innovative meat and poultry drive solutions at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) January 24th – 26th in Atlanta, GA. NORD’s food processing and packaging solutions focus on precise, dynamic control for conveyor systems, reliable performance, and compliance with strict hygiene standards for washdown environments.
NORD will be displaying these specialized solutions at booth BC-10127:
Smooth surface gear units and motors
Smooth surface gear units are a corrosion resistant and wash-down ready solution for applications where sanitation and cleanliness are essential. The high-strength, aluminum alloy housing provides an easy to clean surface with additional protection measures such as potted terminal boxes, QUADRALIP seals, condensation drain holes, and moisture resistant varnished dipped windings to keep moisture and unwanted debris from entering the gear unit. Smooth surface gear unit options include a range of NORDBLOC.1 inline gear units, 93.1 helical bevel gear units, and MINICASE gear units. Motor options include the HM and HMT series – the HM series features a variety of protective coatings and finishes whiles the HMT series are treated with nsd tupH.
nsd tupH sealed surface conversion system
NORD’s patented nsd tupH treatment is the ideal solution for challenging environmental conditions. The chemical process transforms the physical properties of the gear unit’s aluminum alloy housing to create a surface that is up to 7 times stronger than the original material, resistant to contact corrosion from acids and alkalis, and unlike paint, will not flake or chip. When compared to stainless steel, nsd tupH provides a lightweight, cost-effective alternative that is more readily available in a greater selection of gear unit options.
