Nord Drivesystems offers NXD tupH, an innovative surface treatment that makes drive solutions more compact and resilient.

The packaging industry faces the challenge of making its processes more efficient and hygienic. Nord Drivesystems offers a solution that meets these requirements with its new NXD tupH surface treatment. This technology enables the use of aluminium drive solutions in the spray zone of primary packaging, offering advantages in terms of space and thermal efficiency.

Advantages of NXD tupH technology

The NXD tupH surface treatment is characterised by its high corrosion resistance, comparable to that of stainless steel. This is particularly important in the food industry, where strict hygiene regulations apply and regular, intensive cleaning cycles are required. Thanks to this treatment, Nord Drivesystems' aluminium drives are not only more compact but also resistant to aggressive cleaning chemicals.

Another advantage of NXD tupH technology is its thermal efficiency. Aluminium as a material offers better heat dissipation than stainless steel, which in practice means that the drives can run cooler and thus more efficiently. This is particularly important in production environments where high temperatures can impair the performance of machinery.

Scalability and flexibility

In addition to the physical benefits, NXD tupH technology also offers new design options for primary packaging. The compact construction of the aluminium drives allows for easier integration into existing systems and offers manufacturers the flexibility to expand or reconfigure their production lines without significant effort. This is particularly relevant in an industry that is constantly seeking ways to increase its efficiency while simultaneously reducing costs.

Applications in the packaging industry

The possible applications for NXD tupH drives are diverse. They are not only suitable for the food industry but also for other areas of the packaging industry where hygiene and efficiency play a central role. The combination of corrosion resistance and thermal efficiency means these drive solutions offer a sustainable alternative to conventional stainless steel drives.

Nord Drivesystems, by introducing its NXD tupH technology, demonstrates that innovative solutions in the packaging industry are not only possible but also necessary to meet growing demands. The combination of material efficiency, scalability, and hygiene standards makes these drives a future-proof choice for companies looking to optimise their production processes.
