NORD develops individual drive solutions for the baking industry
The drive applications in the baking industry are as individual and versatile as the product produced by these systems. Drive systems that are precisely matched to the respective application requirements are of particular importance. System supplier NORD supports the baking industry with technical and industry expertise and a comprehensive range of modular products.
The kneading speed and the interplay with the dough's resting time are factors that influence the consistency and flavour of a baked product. Drive systems consisting of motor, gear unit and electronic drive technology allow to safely and variably control motion sequences both in traditional bakeries and in industrial production. "The drive concept becomes part of the recipe," says Jorg Niermann, Marketing Manager at NORD DRIVESYSTEMS.
With technical and industry expertise, the system supplier supports the baking industry by developing tailor-made drive solutions for all areas of the production process. This ranges from the mentioned dough processing, precise matching of dough feed belts and conveyor processes, metering and filling up to product and final packaging. The NORD modular products include drive components that are specially developed for the requirements of the food industry. Examples include:
- 2-stage NORDBLOC.1 helical bevel geared motor with aluminium housing in an easy-to-clean wash-down version for conveyor technology applications
- The integrated DuoDrive gear unit/motor concept with high-efficiency IE5+ motor and a single-stage helical gear unit in a compact housing with few wear parts
- MAXXDRIVE industrial gear unit equipped with leak-free SAFOMI-IEC adapter and hygienic, fanless smooth motor for mixers and agitators
- Decentralised frequency inverters such as NORDAC ON+ or NORDAC LINK with a high level of pluggability and plug-and-play concept
- NORDAC PRO SK 500P control cabinet inverter with USB interface for voltage-free parametrisation
"The baking industry requires low-maintenance, energy-efficient and durable solutions," says Niermann. "With our industry expertise and the suitable products, we enable our customers in the baking industry to achieve highest standards."
NORD develops and produces a wide range of drive solutions completely from a single source for more than 100 industries. For this, the system supplier can rely on a global network of more than 80 countries.
