Alternative to stainless steel motors for the wash-down area

The new energy-efficient IE5+ motors with nsd tupH surface treatment offer clear advantages for OEMs and end customers in the food and beverage industry. They are clean, durable and easy to clean, providing efficiency on a whole new level and offering advantages in terms of engineering effort and TCO.

As a system solution with gear unit and inverter from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, the new IE5+ synchronous motors are suitable for wash-down applications in the food and beverage industry. They are ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments because they are easy to clean and corrosion-resistant. The nsd tupH surface treatment and IP69K protection class are optionally available. This new motor comes without a fan and features smooth surfaces in a self‐draining and hygiene‐friendly design. In addition, encoder feedback and a mechanical holding brake are optionally available.

The new IE5+ synchronous motors achieve a high efficiency which significantly exceeds the requirements of efficiency class IE5 and maintain a high level via a wide torque range. This makes them ideally suitable for operation in the partial load range. The number of variants can be reduced and operating costs lowered. The new IE5+ motor can be combined with NORD gear units and drive electronics as a modular system.

By using the new IE5+ motor, administrative expenses can be minimised and manufacturing, logistics, storage and service processes can be streamlined in an individually tailored, variant-reduced range of solutions. The new NORD IE5+ motor generation pays for itself within a short time. The total costs of ownership (TCO) will also be considerably reduced.
