Project Challenge
Treif Maschinenbau GmbH manufactures machines and production equipment for cutting food into slices, strips, cubes, or other shapes. However, until recently, most of these machines still relied on conventional relays and circuit breakers instead of modern drive electronics that would feature much more flexible functionality. When NORD introduced a novel type of AC vector drives featuring PLC capabilities, Treif found this to be an economically viable new control solution with enough built-in intelligence to allow for free programming of drive-related functions. As the "brain" of several new Treif machines, this inverter now ensures users enjoy improved functions, very comfortable handling, and optimized productivity.
Proven quality. – In addition to the scope of functions and attractive price, the tried and tested reliability of NORD DRIVESYSTEMS was equally important. Treif‘s many customers around the world are spread across a range of countries, which includes remote and hard-to-service areas as well. The proven robustness and durability of the NORDAC PRO SK 500E AC vector drive series was a crucial factor in choosing the innovative SK 540E for Treif machines. Previous positive hands-on experience with resilient NORD worm geared motors gave Treif even more confidence in this decision.
Conversion of a wide range of machines – The AC vector drive based new drive solution is to be rolled out across several segments of the Treif machine portfolio. Two machines mainly used for meat, sausage, and cheese slicing and dicing, CASEUS basic and FLEXON, are the first to pioneer this configuration.
