Durable, efficient and easy to clean in the food and beverage industry, maintaining high hygiene standards is essential. Nord's drive solutions not only meet the basic requirements but also impress with their durable, robust design and high efficiency. With its new NXD tupH surface treatment, it once again makes aluminium as resistant as stainless steel, offering the perfect solution for drive technology in hygiene-sensitive production areas.
Drive solutions for processes in the food and beverage industry must be resistant to detergents, as they are frequently cleaned and disinfected due to the high hygiene standards. While stainless steel is the preferred material in wash-down areas, it presents significant disadvantages when applied to drive technology. The NXD tupH surface treatment developed by the company, makes aluminium an interesting alternative for applications in the food and beverage industry: It strengthens the surfaces of drive components such as gear units, smooth motors and frequency inverters, making them resistant to harsh environmental conditions. In the NXD tupH version, it also provides protection against aggressive cleaning agents, chemicals, acids and alkalis. Drives made of aluminium are furthermore significantly lighter and operate at lower temperatures.
Durable treatment of aluminium surfaces thanks to NXD tupH
NXD tupH is specifically developed for applications that require food-safe surfaces. The aluminium surfaces treated in this manner are resistant to frequent cleaning and disinfection for a long time. The NXD tupH treatment is created in two steps: First, the upper layer of the aluminium body is transformed into a corrosion-resistant, hard layer. Second, a sealer is added to provide a high resistance to chemicals. NXD tupH surfaces are free from PFAS, and food-safe according to the FDA, the EU Regulation 1935/2004 and the respective regulations in Switzerland and the Mercosur states. They can therefore be used in hygienically critical areas in the food, beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical or chemical industry.
A thousand times in use, a thousand times trusted
The innovative NXD tupH surface treatment is the latest addition to its range of drive solutions, specifically developed for the food and beverage industry with its increasingly stringent regulations. Thousands of these drives are already being used in food and beverage applications across the world: They are robustly built and designed for a long-life cycle, offering high investment security. Modern IE5+ drives ensure high efficiency and thereby help to reduce operating costs. For hygiene-sensitive environments, the company offers customers a selection of fan-less smooth motors that can be cleaned easily, quickly and thoroughly. With the optional NXD tupH treatment, these drives are wash-down capable, corrosion resistant, sustainable and available in stock ready for installation.
