Platform for the food and beverage industry
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supplies drive systems tailored to the special requirements of the grain industry. Whether elevators, conveyors, chain conveyors or screw conveyors, NORD supports operators of systems for storing, processing and transporting grain and grain products with optimized drive solutions, in-depth application knowledge and worldwide technical support.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is one of the world's leading drive technology companies and provides a wide range of solutions for the transport of bulk goods, such as grain and oilseeds. Cup elevators are used to transport bulk goods in a vertical direction. With its MAXXDRIVE® industrial gearboxes, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides versatile solutions for torques of up to 282,000 Nm, which can be mounted either directly or with an IEC motor attachment. NORD drive concepts for elevators also offer options with backstop to prevent backflow of material, in addition to auxiliary drives with freewheeling clutches and encoders for maintenance work.
The latest generation, MAXXDRIVE®-XT, has been expanded to include an application-optimized two-stage helical bevel gear unit. Thanks to both versions, flange- or shaft-mounted helical gear units can now be arranged parallel or at right angles in conveyor systems. They can be combined with a foot-mounted, high-efficiency IE3 motor on a fixed chassis or a slewing motor frame, whether or not coupled via a hydraulic coupling. Since dust is released in most cup elevator applications, there is a risk of explosion if the dust is flammable. Therefore, custom-made explosion-proof motors and geared motors are used here.
Chain conveyors are ideal for horizontal or inclined conveying of grain and other bulk commodities. Ideal for outdoor installation, these conveyors - available with flat or round bases and options such as by-pass infeed, multiple discharge points and abrasion-resistant cladding - are suitable for many applications and have essential advantages over other conveyors in terms of safety, environmental protection and efficiency.
Screw conveyors consist of a conveyor screw supported on both sides, which rotates in a housing and thus transports the material. The bulk goods can be transported horizontally, diagonally or vertically over a certain distance and precisely metered, for example by means of sliders. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides energy-efficient, easy-to-install and reliable drive solutions with gear units in UNICASE housings, in addition to special shaft seals for all environmental conditions. They can be easily assembled and disassembled, even by direct mounting without the use of V-belts and pulleys.
