CLEAN AND SOUND SOLUTIONS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

NORD drive solutions are suitable for almost any application within the food industry.
NORD drives machines that mix, fill, stir, measure, convey, store, air condition and ventilate.

ERGONOMIC - RESILIENT

From hand … to machine … and into the mouth

NORD drives power equipment used to process fish and meat, cheese and milk, to processing whole grains, and refining simple ingredients including ready to eat salads. Today, hardly any food is eaten without the aid of food processing equipment, whether it is from discount food chain or fine delicacies from a specialty restaurant.

Sanitation and ergonomics in the food industry

Sanitation, cleanliness and ergonomics are important requirements in food production. The environmental and operational conditions can be challenging for gear drives, and NORD is up to the task to handle continuous operation, washdown environments including high pressure water jets and chemical cleaners, broad temperature ranges, and leak-free operation. NORD drive solutions power mixers and stirrers, washing equipment and presses, pumps and conveyor belts and even packaging machines in the food industry.
