Microsite food.nord.com is optimized for mobile devices: Quick overview of hygienic drive solutions

The dedicated microsite, which presents sector-specific solutions and products, provides quick access to all food industry suitable drive systems.

NORD's product portfolio includes wet cell versions of geared motors which are 100% oil-tight, hygienic, and reliable. In 2011, NORD introduced washdown models of several gear unit types. An in-house development by the technology leader in the gear unit sector, the washdown design is based on smooth surface transitions with large radii, without undercuts and dead spaces. These housings therefore accumulate less dirt than conventional gear units. Cleaning liquids wash off easily in all installation positions.

Combined with cost-efficient smooth-surfaced aluminum motors, the gear units turn into complete hygienic solutions that can benefit from additional corrosion protection with NSDtupH surface treatment – another in-house development. Through the NSDtupH treatment, aluminum products acquire corrosion resistance similar to stainless steel models.

Moreover, special feature modifications are available for the complete product range, including suitability for extended temperature range operation, protective finishes with a five-year guarantee, and special lubricants. Gear units can be modified and adapted for any machine installation space. NORD thereby provides a drive program that is virtually universally suitable for all applications within the food industry.
