NORD drives for the grain industry’s core applications

Bucket elevators

For vertical conveying of large quantities of grain, the robust drives from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are especially suitable.

Our parallel shaft and bevel gear units are characterised by their compact design, while our MAXXDRIVE® industrial gear units are available with torques up to 282,000 Nm.

Chain/chain-pulled conveyors

NORD drive solutions are suitable for chain-pulled conveyors that convey the grain horizontally or diagonally.

The reliable and robust gear units can be flexibly used. The combination with the NORD drive electronics offers further possibilities.

Screw conveyors

Drive solutions for screw conveyors from the extensive NORD modular system are robust and reliable.

This is especially true for demanding environments where industrial gear units and explosion-protected electric motors efficiently work together.

Electronic drive technology in the grain industry

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers drive systems for rotary feeders with integrated, intelligent controls that automatically release most of the blockages. Thanks to the integrated reversing function, users do not need to programme an external PLC to release blockages. The motor-mounted NORD frequency inverter SK 200E has an installed PLC that identifies blockages, automatically reverses the direction of rotation and thus releases the blockage.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supplies the complete drive system with gear unit, motor and pre-programmed frequency inverter.
