and intelligent variable frequency drives to meet the demands of packaging applications.
PACK EXPO is one of the largest packaging and processing conventions in North America with over 45,000
expected attendees and 2,600 exhibitors registered to attend this year’s convention November 3 – 6, 2024 in
Chicago, IL. With the industry constantly changing, the show enables attendees to experience innovative
solutions in action, learn from experts hosting educational sessions, and enjoy networking and idea-sharing
in person. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, a worldwide solution leader providing high-efficiency, reliable drive
systems, will be attending this year’s event showcasing their modular drive solutions engineered for high-
volume packaging applications.
Visit NORD at Booth N-5024 to view these innovative, intelligent packaging solutions first-hand.
IE5+ Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
IE5+ synchronous motors deliver consistently high operational efficiency, even at partial loads and low
speeds. Their constant torque over a wide speed range enables variant reduction, significantly reduces
operating costs, and produces a fast Return on Investment (ROI). A smooth surface version is available for
high corrosion resistance and easy cleaning (TENV design) as well as a finned, ventilated version for
optimized heat dissipation in heavy traffic systems (TEFC design). IE5+ motors are fully matched with
NORD’s modular products to form a complete drive solution.
NORDAC ON/ON+ Variable Frequency Drives
NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives were developed to meet the special requirements of horizontal
conveyor technology. Two versions of the VFD are available; NORDAC ON is compatible with IE3 motors
while the NORDAC ON+ is optimized for use with high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motors. These drives
provide an economic solution for IIoT environments with an integrated industrial Ethernet interface,
integrated PLC for drive-related functions, and firmware updates via Ethernet. Full Plug & Play capabilities
make commissioning quick and simple whether for wall or motor mounting. Additionally, POSICON
integrated positioning mode and high precision control ensure smooth, precise operation for packaging
systems.
LogiDrive Complete Drive Solution
LogiDrive® is a complete drive solution from NORD that reduces planning and commissioning efforts through
a standardized, service-friendly system configured precisely to application requirements. Basic versions are
available with economic IE3 electric motors while advanced versions include IE5+ PMS motors for increased
efficiency and reduced system variants. When combined with a decentralized variable frequency drive such
1/3as NORDAC FLEX, NORDAC LINK, or NORDAC ON/ON+, the drives reliably convey packaging material,
drive tools, form and seal packages, and more.
DuoDrive Integrated Gear Unit and Motor
DuoDrive is an ultra-modern integrated gear unit/motor concept with a smooth body design. It combines a
high-efficiency IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motor with a single-stage helical gear unit in one
compact housing. The drive features an extremely high system efficiency of up to 92% – resulting in a
significantly reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to other drive systems. This solution is well-
suited for packaging systems thanks to its simple Plug & Play commissioning, high power density, and quiet
operation. DuoDrive additionally offers flexible attachment options, a wide variety of motor connectivity
options, and IP69K surface treatment for wash-down environments.
Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on internet usage in industrial processes and utilizes
intelligent, connected devices for attaining and accessing data. Condition monitoring solutions for predictive
maintenance systems are directly integrated into NORD variable frequency drives to record drive and status
data continuously or periodically. Important information can then be derived from the data analysis to
proactively maintain systems, reduce downtime, and increase operational efficiency of the entire plant.
