At iba 2025 in Düsseldorf (18 to 22 May), the world’s leading trade fair for the baking and
confectionery industry, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will be presenting innovative drive solutions for
hygienically sensitive applications in the baking and confectionery industry. The focus will also be
on the NXD tupH® procedure developed by NORD for the treatment of aluminium surfaces.
Food industry processes place high demands on hygiene. For drive solutions, this means: In addition to high
reliability and efficient operation, drives must be quick, easy and thorough to clean. At iba 2025 in
Düsseldorf, NORD will be presenting a wide range of solutions for hygienically sensitive applications in Hall
11, Stand A30.
NXD tupH® surface treatment for aluminium
With its NXD tupH® surface treatment, NORD makes the surfaces of drives with aluminium housings
particularly corrosion-resistant. 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. The NXD tupH coating consists of a base layer, which transforms the top
layer of the aluminium body into a corrosion-resistant layer. The combination with a sealer achieves extreme
resistance with better hardness compared to an untreated aluminium alloy. This treatment prevents flaking or
corrosive infiltration, meaning that the protective effect remains intact even in the event of minor mechanical
damage.
The surfaces of drives finished with NXD tupH® are largely resistant to acids and alkalis and can be cleaned
easily, thoroughly and hygienically. The surface finish therefore offers major advantages when used in
hygiene-critical areas in the food, beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical or chemical industry. 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.
