Rotary feeder drive solutions
13 October 2016
As part of a wide selection of application flyers available for download from the NORD Drivesystems website, ‘Drive Solutions for Rotary Feeders’ is an overview of drive technology that can be cost-effectively applied to flow control tasks for bulk materials.

The two-page flyer describes how single-source intelligent frequency inverter and gearmotor drive solutions from NORD can be applied to precisely control dosing or discharging as well as clear inhomogeneous material blockages without relying upon an external PLC or other plant controls.
NORD SK200E series frequency inverters include an onboard PLC that can be programmed with an overload reversing function activated through a combination of speed monitoring inductive sensors on the gearbox input shaft and a torque-limiting clutch between the motor and gear unit.
