Nord11019technical articles

NORD presents his new synchronous motor before that a significant improvement in Energy Efficiency familiar with the Surface finishing NSD Tuph combined. This makes it suitable for the demanding environmental conditions and high hygiene requirements in the Beverage logistics and production. Also to be seen: the standardized drive concept for lauter tuns and the new one switch cabinetconverter "Nordac Pro SK 500P".

Nord31019The latest generation of energy-efficient permanent magnet synchronous motors significantly reduces losses compared to the current IE4 series. The non-ventilated smooth motor achieves its high efficiency, which is in some cases significantly higher than efficiency class IE5, over a wide torque range and is therefore suitable for economical operation in the partial load range.

The compact IE5 + motor offers high power density in a small installation space and will first be launched on the market in a size for the power range from 0,25 to 1,1 kW with a continuous torque of 1,6 to 4,8 Nm. The Engine concept is gradually being expanded to include additional sizes and capacities. The easy-to-clean, corrosion-resistant and wash-down-capable motor is suitable for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments. Surface finishing and protection class IP69K are optional.

Corrosion protection for all

The Surface finishing NSD Tuph offers high-performance corrosion protection for gear units, smooth motors, frequency converters and motor starters in washdown-optimized cast aluminum housing. The drives are easy to clean and are largely insensitive to acids and alkalis.

Even the use of high-pressure cleaners or contact with aggressive media are easily possible. The fanless smooth motors prevent the spread of germs and also ensure smooth running. They are available as synchronous and asynchronous motors and meet efficiency classes IE2, IE3, IE4 and now even IE5 +.

Individual lauter tuns

The drive specialist has a standardized drive concept for the equipment of lauter tuns Lautertun developed that also enables customer-specific adjustments from the extensive modular system. The complete drive units are precisely designed for the respective lauter tun. A single drive system with two gear motors takes over the entire lautering process up to the emptying of the vat.


Nord synchronous motor kIE5 + synchronous motor for intralogistics and hygienic applications


With the combination of geared motor and industrial gearbox, torques of up to 282.000 Nm for lauter tuns of up to 30 m3 are achieved. A second gear motor is used to drive the lifting device, which works with millimeter precision even under full load. Just in time for this year's Braubeviale, Nord also has the proven drive concept for microbreweries adapted from 2 m3 tub volume.

Optimum performance in the control cabinet

With the frequency converter "Nordac Pro SK 500P" is the manufacturer's launch of a new generation of frequency converters. It uses the latest component technology and offers the highest level of functionality, connectivity and modularity.
