NORD nsd tupH aluminium drives

NORD’s nsd tupH aluminium drives have a smooth, ultrahard surface which, in contrast to paint, is unaffected by blows or scratches. The drives have been tested for wet applications.

They are resilient against blistering and corrosion as per ASTM and ISO standards. Under testing the unit showed no loss of adhesion or chipping, while the salt spray test produced no corrosion even after 2000 h.

In demanding atmospheres, the drives can be used beyond the usual service life of paint-coated systems. Their resilience and prolonged service life reduces the service and maintenance requirements placed on users, according to the company. The treatment ensures high process safety: since no coating is applied but the surface itself is hardened, there can be no pollution of products or process media as, for instance, with chipping paint. Heavy impacts or scratches do not diminish the corrosion resistance.

The drives are approved for food applications according to FDA Title 21 CFR175.300.
