What will NORD Drivesystems present at Fachpack 2025 in Nuremberg?
From 23 to 25 September 2025, NORD Drivesystems will showcase a complete range of energy-efficient, modular drive solutions engineered for packaging applications.

NXD tupH® surface treatment, alternative to stainless steel, painting or covers

In primary packaging, the new NXD tupH® surface protection from NORD is an economical and effective alternative to stainless steel, paintings or covers. The surface protection is available for all NORD drive components in smooth aluminium housings. The finishing process transforms the upper layer of the aluminium body into a corrosion-resistant base layer. An extreme resistance to acids and alkalis in washdown areas and a better hardness compared to an untreated aluminium alloy is achieved in combination with a sealer.

This prevents flaking or corrosive infiltration and the protective effect will remain unchanged even in case of minor mechanical damage. 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.

Decentralised drive electronics for end-of-line packaging

In end-of-line-packaging, the manufacturer’s decentralised drive solutions with asynchronous motors provide a streamlined alternative as they shorten installation times, save space in control cabinets and reduce TCO. In the field of feeding and handling packaging machines,

for example, the decentralised NORDAC ON/ON+ frequency inverters impress with their compact design and high reliability. They are characterised by PLC functionality for drive-related functions (PLC onboard) and an integrated Ethernet interface. PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT can be set via parameters. With their plug-and-play function, the smart inverters significantly reduce wiring efforts and provide a compact and economical solution for modern production environments.
Thanks to its scalable functions, the NORDAC FLEX SK 200E frequency inverter can be flexibly tailored to various customer requirements. With its extensive digital and analogue inputs and outputs as well as optional In/Out extension, it offers high compatibility with common PLC controls. The inverter also features an expandable Ethernet interface and is compatible with all common higher-level PLC controls and NORD frequency inverters.

Servo adapters for primary and secondary packaging processes

NORD’s servo adapter solutions offer seamless integration for NEMA and IEC flange motors. The adapters enable reliable connections that withstand the demanding conditions in the packaging industry.
