Application Solution
WGC’s main products are their mobile canning lines, which range from 2 to 4 fill heads and have a 27 to 42 can per minute filling capacity. Each canning line is made from quality parts and components that include NORD FLEXBLOC™ C-Face gearmotors and electric motors paired with distributed AC Vector Drives from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS.
Not only are NORD drives dependable, so are their delivery times. “If our order didn’t show up today, it’s because it was delivered two days ago,” says Lauren Daggett, the Procurement Manager at WGC, “we can always count on NORD to have stock.” Walz chimed in, “Their dependability is huge, along with the customer support that NORD provides worldwide. With big packaging lines, it’s bad when the bottling line goes down. If this does happen, you can count on NORD to have spare parts delivered quickly.”
The drive solutions include features such as hollow shaft covers, torque arms, Distributed SK200E AC Vector Drives, and NEMA C-Face motors. The NORD product used from line to line is fairly consistent. There are regular conversations between WGC and NORD’s application engineering and sales team when discussing various power options for overseas customers.
