Drive solutions for packaging applications

25 August 2023

Drive solutions for packaging applications may need to meet many different requirements – energy-efficient operation, hygienic design, precise positioning, high dynamics or robust design.

Nord Drivesystems can offer wash-down-optimised drives for hygienically critical primary packaging applications. Rated up to IP69K, the FDA-certified drives can incorporate Nord’s nsd tupH surface treatment which provides aluminium housings with a corrosion resistance similar to that of stainless steel – even with frequent cleaning and the use of chemicals in the spray water zone. Motors made of this lightweight metal offer good heat conductivity which allows for the use of smaller sizes. 

In the field of secondary packaging, electrical drive solutions can be used in conveyor belt and labelling applications. They are said to offer a more efficient, precise and controllable solution when compared to pneumatic drive systems. 

For end-of-line packaging drives with centrally controlled synchronous servo motors are mostly specified. However, in many applications asynchronous drive systems can be more efficient and significantly more economical – in particular if they are operated with decentralised frequency inverters. Due to their higher internal inertia, they ensure better motion control when moving heavy loads. Depending on the system type and application, cost benefits of up to 50% are possible.
