NORD’s product portfolio includes wet cell versions of geared motors which are 100% oil-tight, hygienic, and reliable. In 2011, NORD introduced washdown models of several gear unit types. The washdown design is based on smooth surface transitions with large radii, without undercuts and dead spaces. These housings therefore accumulate less dirt than conventional gear units. Cleaning liquids wash off easily in all installation positions. Combined with cost-efficient smooth-surfaced aluminum motors, the gear units turn into complete hygienic solutions that can benefit from additional corrosion protection with NSDtupH surface treatment. Through the NSDtupH treatment, aluminum products acquire corrosion resistance similar to stainless steel models. Moreover, special feature modifications are available for the complete product range, including suitability for extended temperature range operation, protective finishes with a five-year guarantee, and special lubricants.
