CONVEYOR INDUSTRY

ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE CONVEYOR INDUSTRY

By moving 9,500 packages per hour, the US Post Office is one of the world’s largest logistic service providers. The US Post office trusts NORD drives for this task, because NORD drives are equipped for the special requirements within conveyor industry.

Reduce operating costs by using energy efficient drives

Many conveyor technology systems have found new ways to save energy without impairing function. One of the simplest is ways conveyor manufacturers have saved money is by using energy efficient NORD Drives. NORD has an expansive selection of special energy saving drives and can reduce operating costs up to 40%.

Conveying utilizing decentralized drive technologies

Conveyor technology systems often bridge large distances and areas. Therefore, such systems require a modular design of both the drives and conveyor systems. The efficient TRIO SK 300E is a perfect solution. It combines a motor mounted frequency inverter and gearmotor into one compact package.

: Famous Footwear distribution center
Costs were on the rise at the Famous Footwear distribution center in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Maintenance intensive gear reducers that continually leaked and failed, caused excessive plant downtime. NORD Gear Corp. was able to help bring the facility and its 17-mile conveyor system back on track by providing maintenance free reducers with universal mounting capabilities. NORD’s FLEXBLOC worm units with their unique UNICASE housing, were used to replace the old drives without having to replace the existing sprockets or conveyor configurations.

Maintenance-free worm gear motors ensure trouble-free operation

Palletize using intelligent servo technology

Palletizing robots use pick & place functions at high speed. NORD servo drives handle a high level of dynamics and increase the quality and efficiency that otherwise would not be obtainable without servo technology. The intelligent servo drives from NORD simultaneously carry out drive-related control tasks and are even able to completely replace a master machine control system for systems with low to medium complexity due to their integrated, real-time capable PLC.

ATEX conformity for a wide variety of applications.

NORD conforms to the ATEX Standard Directives 94/9/EU and 99/92/EU for motors and gear reducers. Gear reducers are available with IP 67 enclosure protection. They can be modified and precisely adjusted for all installation spaces in machines. Additionally, they are ideally suited for the special requirements within conveyor industry. NORD drives can handle large ambient temperature ranges, are absolutely leak-free, and are designed to handle dusty and damp conditions. The result is a product range with almost universal applications for mechanical designers in the conveyor industry.
