Robust and economic drive solutions for environmental processes
With its modular product system, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a wide range of drive solutions composed of flexibly adaptable components, ensuring reliable operation in environmental technology applications such as recycling plants, wastewater systems and drinking water treatment. The industry experts develop application‑specific drive systems that ensure high reliability even during 24/7 operation in harsh environments.
Whether in sludge treatment, screw pumps, water screws, brush aerators, crushers, shredders or screening systems: Every movement requires the appropriate drive solution. NORD takes care of selection, design and calculation – implementing customisable drive solutions consisting of gear units, motors and frequency inverters. These are characterised by their high reliability, even during 24/7 operation in harsh environments. Furthermore, they are particularly energy-efficient – even in retrofitting, thanks to the NORD ECO service. NORD also offers compact and low-maintenance drive concepts. One example is the SAFOMI adapter with integrated oil expansion volume, which reduces the number of wear parts to a minimum. With the IIoT solution NORD DRIVE MONITOR and condition monitoring, system operators can always keep an eye on their operating data. Moreover, the company stands out for its individual project consulting, short delivery times and globally available, fast service.
A modular system offering numerous solutions
Thanks to its extensive industry expertise and comprehensive modular product system, the manufacturer meets the diverse requirements of the industry. In addition to high performance, robustness, availability, reliability and durability, the drives’ energy efficiency also plays an important role in environmental technology. With its IE5+ synchronous motors, NORD offers high efficiency across the entire adjustment range. This ensures low energy consumption even in the partial‑load range.
NORD drives also meet high mechanical requirements in extreme environments. The 3-stage right-angle gear units of the MAXXDRIVE® XC industrial gear unit series, for example, deliver constant torques of up to 282 000 Nm in water screws. The NSD5 surface treatment and the innovative NORD sealing system provide protection against external influences.
NORD’s decentralised frequency inverters offer another solution for industry-specific requirements. They save space in control cabinets, reduce wiring and cabling efforts and simplify maintenance, thereby increasing the efficiency of the entire drive system. Among other applications, they are suitable for use in pump drive systems. With control via frequency inverter, different pump characteristics can be selected through simple parameter adjustments. The parameter sets are stored in the inverter and enable the pumps to be adapted to different media, flow rates or process requirements.
NORD: Complete solutions from a single source
“The industry’s requirements are constantly changing – and we are actively following this path,” Jörg Niermann, Head of Marketing at NORD, emphasises. “We are continuously developing our drive components to provide our customers with solutions that help them progress technically, economically and environmentally.” By combining a wide modular product range with technical expertise and industry knowledge, NORD creates drive systems that are tailored to specific needs and delivered as complete solutions from a single source.
