specific drive configuration: Optimizing drive solutions, tapping power reserves

NORD-sponsored racing team successful in its first race in Australia

In recent years, NORD Drivesystems has been very active in the steel industry in China and India. NORD has supplied 2,500 geared motors to the Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation for a heavy plate mill in Pudong which produces, sheets for the ship building industry, amongst others.

The IECS Company, specializing in the manufacture, assembly, and maintenance of quarry and sand pits equipments has chosen NORD gearmotors to power the new aggregates production unit of the Pradier Group. The quality of service, especially in terms of reactivity and the performance of IE2 motors have made the difference.

Solar thermal installations built around a central tower have long been limited to mere tech demonstrations and R&D facilities, until now. In conjunction with NORD Drive System, Gemasolar, in the south of France, is now making the leap to full-scale production sites. In order to ensure precise and reliable operation of the plant’s mobile heliostats that focus the sunlight, the vast array comprising of 2,650 mirrors is equipped with 5,300 robust gearmotors supplied by NORD Drive Systems.

Gravel plant cuts costs and reduces maintenance expenditures by using geared motors. In many gravel pits, stone crushing plants and similar operations, motive power for conveyor belts is provided by shaft and belt drives. Until recently, this was the situation at the gravel plant of NorStone AS in Tau, located in the southwest region of Norway. Recently NorStone, a subsidiary of HeidelbergCement AG, decided to change to robust geared motors. This option promised lower investment costs and increased operational reliability, along with better process security. Reduced energy consumption thanks to higher efficiency was also anticipated.
