GEAPS Exposition Preview: Nord Gear(Feb 26,2019)
No matter what your
role is in the grain industry, visit Booth #2133 during the Grain Elevator and
Processing Society (GEAPS) Exposition, March 9-12 at the Ernest N. Morial
Convention Center in New Orleans. Nord Gear Corporation experts will be
providing an exclusive look at new products, motors, conveyors and drive
components for the grain industry.
Hani Almoghrabi,
Nord’s large industrial drives product manager, will be discussing the newly
released MaxxDrive XT, which delivers a full package for bulk material handling.
The optimized housing geometry allowing maximum thermal ratings among many other
features and benefits will be discussed by Almoghrabi during the show.
Nord’s booth will
also feature the Grain Endurance Package (GEP), a cost-effective bundle of
product features designed specifically for grain processors. Included in the GEP
is a Quadrilip sealing system, a keyless hollow shaft connection, safety cover,
Donaldson T.R.A.P. breather, quick disconnects, and an oil sample port. Together
the components assure long-lasting performance even in the harshest grain
processing environments.
Additional product
highlights include Nord’s MaxxDrive series of industrial gear units, ideal for
heavy duty applications, are available as parallel helical gear units or bevel
gear units. With torque ratings of 132,000 to 2,200,000 lb-in and horsepower
ratings of 50 to 2,000 hp, Nord provides optimal application versatility. Other
benefits include a keyed and press-fit gear mounting system for maximum power
transmission, leak-proof lubrication regardless of shaft orientation, a
symmetrical housing design that provides for mirror image installations, various
temperature management options, and a design that’s been proven through
extensive finite element analysis validation.
Nord’s line of
compact, helical bevel gear motors are available with cast iron or aluminum
alloy Unicase housings, a wide range of flange offerings, up to 250 hp and
440,000 lb-in of torque. They’re ideal for mixers, conveyor belts, mills, and
other demanding applications where long service life and flexible
mounting.
Nord's Screw
Conveyor Package offers a compact design that simplifies installation and
maintenance of any conveyor. Its Quadrilip sealing system boasts primary and
secondary Viton seals, a dust lip around the output shaft, and a grease-packed
felt seal for additional protection against contaminants. As with any Nord drive
unit, a number of mounting orientations are available (six, in this case, as
well as the option to tilt the unit at an angle), and its modular design
provides tremendous flexibility in the field. This means fewer parts, greater
efficiency, lower costs, and less hassle.
These are just a few
of the many solutions you’ll see at the Nord Booth #2133, each offering the
flexibility and ease-of-use, which is important to those serving the grain
industry.
