NORD supplies compact drive technology with integrated multi-
protocol Ethernet interface for conveyor systems in the food and packaging industry Image: Fredriksons
Verkstads
In the food, beverage and packaging industries, space for conveyor systems is limited. A Swedish
machine manufacturer uses the advantages of drive technology from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS to
realise a compact design with reduced drive variants for chain conveyors.
NORD has extensive knowledge and long-term experience in more than 100 industries. As a system supplier
with global presence, the company offers tailor-made and sustainable drive solutions for all stages in the
packaging process. Fredriksons, a manufacturer of conveyor systems for the food and beverage industry,
benefits not only from the space-saving design, the different speed levels and the integrated multi-protocol
Ethernet interface of the NORD drives, but also from the option for variant reduction – both for decentralised
and control cabinet solutions. The ability of NORD drives to withstand temperatures down to -30 °C makes
them particularly advantageous for deep-freeze applications.
High-tech inverters for modern production
Fredriksons’ chain conveyors for food packaging use IE3 asynchronous motors from NORD with a
Nord bloc.1® helical bevel gear unit combined with the NORDAC ON frequency inverter. The
decentralised frequency inverters provide an economical solution for modern production environments. They
cover a power range from 0.37 kW to 3.7 kW and are characterised by their full plug-in capability, plug-and-
play function, low maintenance and high reliability. Further features are PLC on board and the integrated
Ethernet interface. The PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT protocols can be easily set via parameters. In
addition to STO and SS1, the NORDAC ON will soon offer new functional safety features: SLS, SMS and
SSM.
For stand-alone solutions, Fredriksons uses the NORDAC PRO SK 500P frequency inverter from NORD.
The control cabinet inverter in book-size format is suitable for practically any drive application. Its variants
cover a power range from 0.25 to 22 kW while also convincing with its high overload capability. Soon, the
inverter will be available with a power extension up to and including 160 kW.
Efficient solutions from our modular range of products By using NORD products, the Swedish machine manufacturer was able to reduce the number of drive
variants in its systems. Thanks to the reduced use of materials and the ideally matched drive components,
the TCO and the CO2 footprint can also be reduced.
