70 percent! That is the share of the total energy consumption of all industries for electric drives according to expert estimates. This is not only a significant cost factor – there is also a large optimisation and savings potential hidden here. The NORD ECO service helps companies to reveal this potential and to find the most efficient drive solution for their application.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS was assessed by the rating agency EcoVadis and awarded the silver sustainability certificate in 2022. In the overall ranking, the North German company is in the top six percent of manufacturers in the industry assessed by EcoVadis.

Before the turn of the year 2022/2023, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will cross the sales of 1 billion euros for the first time. The company sees this as confirmation from its customers.

Whether storing, conveying, weighing and dosing, or loading and unloading: NORD DRIVESYSTEMS develops and produces scalable drive solutions for all sectors of the bulk goods industry. The drives are individually tailored to the customised application, and offer high energy efficiency paired with a robust design.

With high thermal limit powers, MAXXDRIVE XT industrial gear units have been optimised for bulk logistics applications such as belt conveyor systems.

For the crane industry, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers complete drive solutions from a single source that are characterised by maximum energy efficiency, economy and reliability. The service- and maintenance-friendly drives reduce downtimes and contribute to an increased efficiency and availability of the entire system.

Lifting applications place special demands on the installation space for drives. With MAXXDRIVE^® XD, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has now developed an industrial gear unit with increased centre distance that is ideally suited to the U-shaped configuration of drive, motor and cable drum.

How economic can an investment be? If you take the lifecycle of drive systems, only 15 percent of the Total Cost of Ownership is distributed on the purchase price, around 85 percent result from downstream processes. It is therefore important to not only keep an eye on the investment costs when making a purchase decision but also on the costs for energy and the ongoing operation, i.e. administration processes, service and maintenance, spare parts stocking or disposal.

Automatic bottling and conveyor systems in beverage and liquid food production set high requirements for energy efficiency, operational reliability, wash-down-capability and corrosion protection. As one of the world’s leading full-range suppliers for mechanical and electronic drive technology, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS knows the industry’s requirements and provides efficient, hygienic and reliable solutions for bottling and conveyor technology in beverage lines.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has developed its NORDAC ON decentralised frequency inverter series for lower power ranges up to 2.2 kW. The inverter is characterised by an integrated Ethernet interface, full pluggability and a very compact design.
