A powerful partner for drive concepts in the Bakery technology is NORD. With corrosion-resistant smooth motors, gearboxes, frequency converters and motor starters in washdown aluminum housings, Nord Drivesystems offers hygiene-friendly Drive Technology for mixing and stirring technology in bakeries.

The efficient solutions for the bakery industry are suitable for conveyor systems, agitators, dosing machines and filling systems as well as packaging machines. The frequency converter implement dynamic processes reliably and with accurate positioning.

The drives can be individually regulated, for example to control the kneading and conveying speeds of the bakery machines, to avoid build-up or to control the dough flow. The modular drive portfolio for the bakery machines is service and maintenance-friendly.

Surface finishing for corrosion protection

Nord's own surface finishing NSD Tuph offers high-performance corrosion protection for in bakery technology Smooth engines, Transmission, Inverter as well as motor starters in washdown cast aluminum housing. The surface treated drives represent a robust and durable alternative to drives made of stainless steel and painted gear motors.

Decentralized drive technology for the digital factory of the future

The NSD Tuph coating is available for all products made of aluminum. DIN and standard parts as well as the output shafts are made of stainless steel. The fanless smooth motors do not spread any germs and offer extremely smooth running.

Drive solutions for mixers

The industrial gear Maxxdrive guarantee reliable operation of the machines for mixing and stirring technology even under extreme conditions. They deliver high output torques of up to 282 kNm with little noise and have a long service life. The combination of Maxxdrive transmission, Safomi IEC adapter and an energy-efficient electric motor for Mixers and agitators reduces wear and attachment parts.

The Safomi IEC adapter combines the functions of a standard IEC adapter and oil expansion tank in one component. Used in the agitator drive, it increases operational reliability with reduced maintenance. Oil containers, oil hoses and shaft seal between the gear unit and IEC cylinder are no longer required. The adapter is available for spur gear units in sizes 7 to 11 (output torque 25 to 75 kNm).

Robust equipment for bakery technology

Nord offers individual equipment especially for stirring and mixing machines as well as pumps with process-related high radial and axial loads. This includes a Agitator design with VL2 bearing with a large bearing distance and a reinforced bearing as well as a Drywell version with VL3 bearing with additional oil drip disk and leakage oil indicator or oil sensor.

Clutches and brakes Use in food technology

With the VL2 and VL3 bearings, the distance between the bearings is increased by attaching parts. The size of the gearbox remains constant. Nord also offers the use of very large bearings with a view to applications such as agitators are deliberately oversized in bakery technology.
