Nord Drivesystems manufactures high-performance, cost-effective drive technology for the food and beverage industries that fulfills strict hygiene requirements. Especially developed for this area of industry, the drive manufacturer's microsite - http://food.nord.com - has now been optimised for mobile use (iPhone, Android smartphones, Blackberry etc). An adapted layout ensures excellent readability and straightforward navigation. The dedicated microsite, which presents sector-specific solutions and products, provides quick access to all food industry suitable drive systems.

Nord's product portfolio includes wet cell versions of geared motors which are 100% oil-tight, hygienic, and reliable. In 2011, NORD introduced washdown models of several gear unit types. The washdown design is based on smooth surface transitions with large radii, without undercuts and dead spaces. These housings therefore accumulate less dirt than conventional gear units. Cleaning liquids wash off easily in all installation positions. Combined with cost-efficient smooth-surfaced aluminum motors, the gear units turn into complete hygienic solutions that can benefit from additional corrosion protection with NSDtupH surface treatment. Through the NSDtupH treatment, aluminum products acquire corrosion resistance similar to stainless steel models. Moreover, special feature modifications are available for the complete product range, including suitability for extended temperature range operation, protective finishes with a five-year guarantee, and special lubricants.

Nord Drivesystems develops, produces and sells drive technologies with around 2,800 employees, and is one of the international leaders in the industry. In addition to standard drives, NORD supplies application-specific concepts and solutions, even for special applications, for example with energy-saving drives or explosion-protected systems. Gross sales amounted to approx. EUR 450 mn in the 2012 business year. The company founded in 1965 now has over 35 subsidiaries worldwide. The closely meshed sales and service network ensures optimum availability for short delivery times and customer-oriented services. NORD produces a wide variety of drive units for torques from 10 to 200,000 Nm, electric motors with powers from 0.12 kW to 200 kW as well as the necessary power electronics in the form of frequency inverters and servo controllers. Inverter solutions are available for classical installations in the switch cabinet and for decentralised and fully integrated drive units.
