NXD tupH®:

How it works

The base aluminium surfaces are electrolytically treated and then coated with a powerful sealant. The sealing is optimised in terms of stability, protection against chemicals and sustainability.

NXD tupH®: Your benefits

  • High level of hygiene: The sealing does not chip off or corrode.
  • Fast cleaning: The smooth surface can be cleaned hygienically.
  • High efficiency: Aluminium dissipates heat well and therefore enables a higher power density.
  • Global food conformity: The NXD tupH® surface meets the requirements of the EU and FDA.
  • Sustainable solution: The NXD tupH® system is free from PFAS and chromates.
  • Quick availability: Our NXD tupH® products are available in stock ready for installation.

NXD’s previous generation NSD has already impressively demonstrated its resistance as an effective protection for aluminium surfaces in practice. Drives that previously had to be replaced regularly, serve well for years now, thanks to this technology. We are permanently focused on our customers’ industries and are continuously developing the protection systems. Surfaces treated with NXD tupH® are thus free from chromates and PFAS. This increases the investment security for our users.

What can we do for you?

Thousands of installed drives in the food and beverage industry speak for themselves. Find out where you can benefit from our drive solutions,

  • Example:
    Conveying agricultural products

    Constant belt speeds while maintaining intensive irrigation – ensured by our drive solutions and the NXD tupH® surface treatment.

  • Example:
    Packaging meat

    Low-backlash drives ensure precise and dynamic movement – top hygienic thanks to our food-safe NXD tupH® surface protection.

  • Example:
    Filling dairy products

    Our drive solutions minimise cycle times through precise positioning and speed control – food-safe and durable thanks to NXD tupH®.

  • Example:
    Forming bakery-products

    In the production of baked goods, frequency inverters with torque monitoring ensure rapid shaping – without any dough sticking to the machine..

  • Example:
    Conveying fish

    Our drives can be controlled individually and can intelligently adjust belt speeds. With NXD tupH®, they become resistant to moisture and salt.

  • Example:
    Sealing beverage bottles

    With absolute encoders and incremental encoders, our drive solutions implement precise positioning – and can be installed quickly and error-free via plug-and-play.

  • Example:
    Metering chocolate

    Our drive solutions keep your process flowing – belt speeds are perfectly matched by means of precise positioning.

  • Example:
    Filling pharmaceuticals

    With our NXD tupH® surface treatment, we provide drive solutions, which are resistant to chemical cleaning agents and potential contamination.
