Corrosion-resistant motor for agricultural product cleaning and packaging lines
The nsd tupH anti-corrosion sealing surface conversion system from Nord Drive Group is economical and practical, significantly extending the life of the aluminum cabinet drive system for corrosive environments, high humidity or water spray applications. Ambit Projects is a device manufacturer in the food industry that uses motors with nsd tupH sealing surface conversion systems in the washing machine.
Ambit Projects is located in Kings Lynn, England, specializing in the design and manufacture of customized equipment for the cleaning, processing and packaging of a wide range of food and agricultural products. Its fixed customers include Europe's leading fresh produce growers and suppliers. They need to upgrade a large number of equipment and expand the production line, including the problem machine for cutting celery root leaves, then cleaning, inspecting and packaging. The old motor is in a humid environment for a long time and needs to be washed regularly with water and foaming agent. Even high-grade anti-corrosion coatings are difficult to provide long-lasting protection, and their coatings have begun to crack or peel off. To prevent coating debris from appearing in the celery processing process, the company also equipped pallets and cabinets for these motors. The conveyor motor installed next to the washing process is in a very harsh environment where high pressure jets are used to remove soil and stones from the product. As a result, device manufacturers are always looking for alternative drive solutions without boxes.
Protection from inside to outside, the motor is suitable for harsh environments
Nord Gear Co., Ltd., part of Nord Drive Group, introduced an innovative material engineering product to Ambit Projects, the nsd tupH technology developed by Nord, which permanently changes materials through electrochemical processes and deepens them. Aluminum surface. This aluminum material is not coated with a protective layer, such as a commonly used anti-corrosion coating, because it can be completely hardened by itself. Many of Nord's motors are handled this way and they have proven to be traceable for many years. Prior to the adoption of this technology, systems using nsd tupH technology have passed ASTM D714 coating foaming test, ASTM D610-08 surface corrosion test, ASTM D1654-08 cross-cut test in DIN EN ISO 2409, DIN EN ISO 9227 ASTM B117-09 salt spray test in the standard, and ASTM D3170 coating chipping resistance test (gravel test). Saws or flaws can occur in motors used in many industrial environments. In this case, even high-quality anti-corrosion coatings do not provide reliable and effective protection. Once the surface coating is damaged, it is difficult to avoid corrosion in the adjacent area. Even rework can not make up for the losses. Nsd tupH can avoid such potential problems. Gravel testing has shown that it does not cause damage or flaking of the coating, thus ensuring a high degree of process safety. Tested according to FDA 21 CFR 175.300 organic coating and metal, the system can also be used in the food industry and can withstand pH 2 to pH 12 cleaning agents. It is worth noting that nsd tupH is completely suitable for marine environments: the salt spray test shows that corrosion does not occur even after 2000 hours of use. Nord provides a range of IP66/IP69K geared motors and electromechanical drive systems so that high pressure steam jet cleaning can be used without any concern. Thanks to its excellent thermal properties, this aluminium system can also be flushed directly without the need to cool at normal operating temperatures.
