NORD Drives for the Grain Industry’s Core Applications

Bucket Elevators

Robust drive solutions from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are ideal for vertical conveying of large quantities of grain.

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

Chain/Chain-Pulled Conveyors

NORD drivesystem used in the grain industry

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

The reliable and robust gear units offer flexibility and can be combined with NORD drive electronics.

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 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 program an external PLC to release blockages. The motor-mounted NORD frequency inverter SK 200E has an installed PLC that identifies blockages and automatically reverses the direction of rotation, therefore releasing the blockage.

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