Corrosion-resistant and hygienic drives from NORD at drinktec

In the food and beverage industry, maintaining high hygiene standards is essential. From 15 to 19 September 2025, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will present robust and efficient drive solutions that meet the industry’s requirements at drinktec in Munich, Hall C4, Stand 651

Aluminium is lightweight, economical and fully recyclable. Furthermore, aluminium housings provide better heat conductivity than, for example, stainless steel, thus reducing their maximum surface temperature. With the new NXD tupH® surface treatment , NORD successfully made its aluminium drives more durable in extreme environments. Gear units, smooth motors and frequency inverters are given safe surface protection in wash-down areas, making them largely resistant to acids and alkalis. They are easy to clean and ensure long-lasting performance even under the demanding operating conditions in the food and beverage industry.

An extreme resistance with better hardness compared to an untreated aluminium alloy is achieved in combination with a sealer. This process prevents flaking or corrosive infiltration so that the protective effect will remain unchanged even in case of minor mechanical damage.

In addition, NXD tupH® surfaces are free from PFAS, and food-safe according to the FDA, the EU Regulation 1935/2004 and the respective regulations in Switzerland and the MERCOSUR states.

Product portfolio with NXD tupH®

NORD offers a selection of fanless smooth motors and drive components with the NXD tupH® surface treatment that are available in stock ready for installation. These include the integrated DuoDrive gear unit/motor concept as well as the IE5+ smooth motors, NORDBLOC.1® helical in-line gear units and NORDBLOC.1® helical bevel gear units. With the NORDAC ON PURE, a decentralised frequency inverter will also soon be available with NXD tupH® surface.
