NORD DRIVESYSTEMS Presents Complete Packaging Drive Solutions at PACK EXPO

NORD offers intelligent, reliable, and cost-efficient solutions for the entire packaging process including primary packaging, secondary packaging, end-of-line packaging, and higher-level applications.

.

PACK EXPO is one of the largest packaging and processing conventions in North America with over 45,000 expected attendees and 2,600 exhibitors registered to attend this year’s convention November 3 – 6, 2024 in Chicago, IL. With the industry constantly changing, the show enables attendees to experience innovative solutions in action, learn from experts hosting educational sessions, and enjoy networking and idea-sharing in person. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, a worldwide solution leader providing high-efficiency, reliable drive systems, will be attending this year’s event showcasing their modular drive solutions engineered for high-volume packaging applications.

Visit NORD at Booth N-5024 to view these innovative, intelligent packaging solutions first-hand.

IE5+ Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
IE5+ synchronous motors deliver consistently high operational efficiency, even at partial loads and low speeds. Their constant torque over a wide speed range enables variant reduction, significantly reduces operating costs, and produces a fast Return on Investment (ROI). A smooth surface version is available for high corrosion resistance and easy cleaning (TENV design) as well as a finned, ventilated version for optimized heat dissipation in heavy traffic systems (TEFC design). IE5+ motors are fully matched with NORD’s modular products to form a complete drive solution.

NORDAC ON/ON+ Variable Frequency Drives
NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives were developed to meet the special requirements of horizontal conveyor technology. Two versions of the VFD are available; NORDAC ON is compatible with IE3 motors while the NORDAC ON+ is optimized for use with high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motors. These drives provide an economic solution for IIoT environments with an integrated industrial Ethernet interface, integrated PLC for drive-related functions, and firmware updates via Ethernet. Full Plug & Play capabilities make commissioning quick and simple whether for wall or motor mounting. Additionally, POSICON integrated positioning mode and high precision control ensure smooth, precise operation for packaging systems.

LogiDrive Complete Drive Solution
LogiDrive^® is a complete drive solution from NORD that reduces planning and commissioning efforts through a standardized, service-friendly system configured precisely to application requirements. Basic versions are available with economic IE3 electric motors while advanced versions include IE5+ PMS motors for increased efficiency and reduced system variants. When combined with a decentralized variable frequency drive such as NORDAC FLEX, NORDAC LINK, or NORDAC ON/ON+, the drives reliably convey packaging material, drive tools, form and seal packages, and more.

DuoDrive Integrated Gear Unit and Motor
DuoDrive is an ultra-modern integrated gear unit/motor concept with a smooth body design. It combines a high-efficiency IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motor with a single-stage helical gear unit in one compact housing. The drive features an extremely high system efficiency of up to 92% - resulting in a significantly reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to other drive systems. This solution is well-suited for packaging systems thanks to its simple Plug & Play commissioning, high power density, and quiet operation. DuoDrive additionally offers flexible attachment options, a wide variety of motor connectivity options, and IP69K surface treatment for wash-down environments.

Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on internet usage in industrial processes and utilizes intelligent, connected devices for attaining and accessing data. Condition monitoring solutions for predictive maintenance systems are directly integrated into NORD variable frequency drives to record drive and status data continuously or periodically. Important information can then be derived from the data analysis to proactively maintain systems, reduce downtime, and increase operational efficiency of the entire plant.
