NORD Poultry and Meat Processing Solutions Showcase at IPPE 2025
NORD’s specialized solutions for the poultry and meat processing industry are highly reliable, cost-effective, and built to withstand harsh wash-down environments.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will once again be exhibiting at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), the world’s largest annual poultry and meat processing industry event. This year’s convention will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA from January 28-30, 2025. NORD offers a modular product system with over 20,000,000 standard options, enabling configuration of solutions that precisely meet application requirements without the need for costly custom components.
Smooth Surface Gear Units and Motors
NORD utilizes a high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloy for their smooth surface gear units and motors. The material offers high cooling capacity for thermal conductivity and innate corrosion resistance for additional surface protection. Smooth surface gear units are highly durable and fully enclose all gear components and bearing points within the housing for a smooth, hygienic surface that is easy to clean and stands up to harsh wash-down environments.
Available gear units include NORDBLOC.1 helical inline gear units, NORDBLOC.1 helical bevel 93.1 series gear units, UNIVERSAL SMI worm gear units, and the DuoDrive integrated gear unit and motor. NORD smooth surface motors can be combined with any of their gear units and offer additional protection options such as potted terminal boxes, condensation drain holes, and moisture-resistant varnish-dipped windings to keep moisture and debris out.
Overhead Conveyor Drives
Overhead conveyor drives feature high-quality components, heavy-duty construction, and optimized oil leakage protection system with QUADRILIP seals. They are engineered for high overhung and thrust loads, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance. H1 low- and high-temperature food-grade lubricants are available for harsh food processing environments.
Screw Conveyor Package
NORD’s Screw Conveyor Package offers a compact, cost-effective drive solution for parallel shaft and helical bevel gear units. The package eliminates the need for top motor mounts, pulleys, belts, or guards, minimizing backstock parts and enabling easier maintenance. It results in increased reliability, durability, and superior drive performance with greater torque transfer.
IE5+ Synchronous Motors
IE5+ synchronous motors feature permanent magnet technology for constant torque and high efficiency over a wide speed range. The non-ventilated variant offers a compact, hygienic design with smooth surfaces for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. IP69K rating is available for further protection against moisture and chemicals.
DuoDrive Integrated Gear Unit and Motor
The DuoDrive integrates IE5+ synchronous motors with a single-stage helical gear unit in a compact, smooth surface housing. It offers high system efficiency, quiet operation, and IP69K ingress protection for ease of installation and space utilization.
NORDAC ON/ON+
NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives are designed for horizontal conveyor technology, featuring an integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface and dynamic PLC functionality for IIoT environments. They offer compatibility with both asynchronous and synchronous motors, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution.
