For mobile systems such as pumps for the wine industry or cleaning machines that have a manageable structure, pumped media often places high demands on drive control. The decentralised Nordac Flex Sk 200e frequency inverter is suitable for applications such as mobile conveying or dosing in process engineering, and applications with similar requirements. This article first appeared in the October 2021 issue of Food and Drink Business.

The inverter generates the control voltage itself and can be easily and locally controlled and operated via switch and rotary potentiometer. Using the inverter’s integrated PLC, the device can perform minor logic functions autonomously. The Nordac Flex Sk 200e demonstrates its high operational flexibility particularly with saving synchronous motors such as those required for continuous operation.

Frequency inverters from the Nordac Flex series are characterised by their high precision regulation. Extending into low-speed ranges, the drive control prevents strong turbulences.

The drive systems ensure a high-resolution flow setting and at the same time can measure the density, temperature and volume of the media using external sensors.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
