NORD's New Gear Units: A Game Changer in Mining Efficiency

NORD Drivesystems has unveiled its latest innovation: the MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units, targeting the mining and bulk material handling industries. These units are engineered for high-capacity applications, providing torque up to 2,495,900 lb-in. Visualize this: immense power, optimized for the intense demands of mining operations.

Efficiency Meets Innovation

The integration of energy-efficient motors, reaching up to IE5+, with intelligent variable frequency drives, signals a shift towards sustainable mining practices. This modular system not only maximizes throughput but also slashes energy consumption and maintenance downtime. The trend is clearer when you see it: operational savings and environmental benefits in tandem.

The MAXXDRIVE series utilizes a one-piece UNICASE housing, promising high structural rigidity and effective leak protection. This design is particularly valuable in harsh mining environments where temperature fluctuations and abrasive dust are the norm. Why should miners care? Less downtime and longer equipment life mean more productivity and profitability.

Customizable for Harsh Conditions

NORD's gear units can be tailored with cooling systems like axial fans or internal cooling coils, maintaining thermal stability during high-load processes. This is important to minimizing downtime and enhancing the service life of the system. The chart tells the story: cooler systems work longer, harder, and more efficiently.

a lots of of options such as elastic input couplings, disc/drum brakes, and oil coolers ensure that the gear units can be adapted to various mining system requirements. One chart, one takeaway: customization is key to surviving and thriving in the mining sector.

Diverse Applications and Control

NORD's NORDAC PRO variable frequency drives cater to a wide array of applications, featuring a multi-protocol Ethernet interface and built-in PLC for smart system operations. These drives can detect and react to material blockages, automatically adjusting to free the blockage and maintain flow. It's technology working smart, not just hard.

The electric AC motors from NORD adhere to all global efficiency standards, with options for explosion protection. In environments where dust and gas pose significant risks, these motors offer both safety and efficiency, delivering power from 0.16 to 30.0 hp.

As industries push towards more reliable and energy-efficient solutions, NORD's latest offerings position them as a formidable player. The question is: will others in the industry follow suit, or get left behind?
