To support airports in designing energy-efficient baggage handling systems, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers the NORD ECO service.
The North German company thus makes a significant contribution to achieving the climate targets in this sector.
NORD is a system supplier of innovative drive solutions for more than 100 industries.
With the NORD ECO service, the drive specialist has already helped many companies to improve their system’s performance and energy efficiency through modernisation and to reduce the variants of the components used.
Jörg Niermann, head of marketing at NORD DRIVESYSTEMS reports: “Baggage handling systems often offer potential for savings, especially when considering the drive technology.
“We offer our NORD ECO service to optimise existing installations and to find the best drive solution.”
The NORD ECO box conducts comprehensive measurements over a period of at least two weeks.
Based on permanent loads, load peaks or irregular conditions, it becomes clear whether a system’s dimensions match the requirements of the respective application.
“We often encounter drive systems that are clearly over dimensioned for the corresponding application, and so we develop a new solution”, Niermann adds.
The installation of an alternative system is followed by a comparative measurement with a final analysis.
“In conclusion, the NORD ECO process achieves lower energy consumption and costs as well as reduced CO2 emissions.”
This allowed NORD to reveal significant savings potential for the drive systems in baggage handling systems of different airports and to implement alternative solutions.
