Decentralised drive solutions for efficient packaging processes

The large production quantities in Food & Beverage packaging make two factors particularly decisive for operation: reliability and cost efficiency.

The large production quantities in Food & Beverage packaging make two factors particularly decisive for operation: reliability and cost efficiency. With its industry expertise, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers innovative drive solutions that precisely cater for these requirements.

Significant cost savings can be achieved if the right drive solution is used for end-of-line packaging. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS makes this possible. While drives with centrally controlled servo motors are commonly used in this area, the system supplier provides a more efficient alternative: drive solutions with decentrally controlled asynchronous motors.

The advantages go far beyond mere cost savings:

Decentrally controlled asynchronous motors with higher inertia, such as the energy-efficient NORD IE3 motor , enable heavy pallets and containers to be moved safely and precisely over long travel distances with low vibration.

Thanks to decentralised frequency inverters, such as the NORDAC ON SK300P, large control cabinets and extensive wiring can be eliminated. This makes the drive solution more compact, maintenance-friendly and quickly ready for use via plug & play.

Compared to centralised drive concepts, decentralised solutions provide more constructive freedom in system design. This significantly reduces the wiring effort and complexity of common control cabinet wiring.

Plug connectors facilitate replacement in case of servicing so that no additional electrician is required to work on the control cabinet.

NORD drive solutions have a modular design so that every user can make the best possible use of these advantages. Energy efficient motors, overload-capable gear units and decentralised frequency inverters can be combined as required for any packaging application. Whether precise motion control for palletising machines, robust components for wrapping machines or maximum load securing for strapping machines: NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supplies all drive components for every end-of-line packaging requirement from a single source.
