NORD Drivesystems NXD tupH food-safe surface protection

The food-safe NXD tupH surface protection is designed to make NORD drive systems with aluminium housings more resistant to cleaning chemicals. It is suitable for users of hygiene-sensitive applications in food & beverage and primary packaging industries that can benefit from aluminium drive solutions.

The food-safe surface treatment is for aluminium housings to make the material comparable to stainless steel in terms of hygiene and corrosion resistance. The respective gear units, smooth motors and decentralised frequency inverters become corrosion-resistant and withstand extensive cleaning procedures in food processing industries over the long term.

The special surface treatment is combined with a high-performance sealer which results in a nonporous surface that can be cleaned hygienically and neither flakes off nor corrodes after numerous cleaning cycles.

NORD drive components with NXD tupH surfaces are food-safe in accordance with the requirements of the FDA, EU and Switzerland as well as the MERCOSUR states. They are suitable for food-contact applications in the fields of food & beverage and primary packaging.

The surface protection does not require any special design. The manufacturer applies its surface treatment to existing components.
