Safe application in quarries

Quarry work has been an important industry since the Roman Empire. Now, thanks to technology improvements, the work in a modern quarry is highly automated. Safety, reliability, and robustness are some of the most important requirements for power transmission equipment. In a quarry in Dubai, NORD drives are used in transporting the extracted material. Since efficiency and productivity are important for this international customer, oil sight glasses and temperature sensors were installed for optimum operational control and to ensure the highest level of operational reliability.

Convey, transport and measure

Material is continually being moved in many different scopes and scales in the aggregate industry. The material is generally conveyed in horizontal and inclined conveying screws. Since operational reliability is so important, NORD thereby ensures a frictionless flow of material, whether it is in discharge of the silo or continuous loading of mixers. M-Tec, a manufacturer of screw conveyors, ensuring dust free transport of powdery and grainy dry bulk material, such as sand, cement, lime, and gypsum, chooses resilient NORD drives.

Flexible and robust in almost any application

NORD drives are optimally equipped for the special machine requirements of the aggregate industry. Reinforced bearings provide high load capacity for radial and axial loads, and significantly increase bearing life. As for protective options, NORD is one of the industry leaders. For example, all motors start at an IP 55 enclosure rating and can be upgraded to IP 66. For continuous outdoor conditions, gear reducers and gearmotors can be coated with severe duty paints. A number of additional designs and features are available, including special high strength shaft materials, oil sight glasses, and special lubricants. These features give NORD the opportunity to meet almost universal applications in the aggregate industry.
