Barrel Emptying System With NEMO® BH Pump
Independent hygienic container emptying with a minimum of residual content
NEMO® barrel emptying systems for hygienic applications are highly versatile and automatically suck themselves towards the bottom of the barrel. With the emptying systems from NETZSCH, you convey directly from barrels and containers with an absolute minimum of residue.
The central element of the hygienic container emptying system is a NEMO® BH progressing cavity pump, which enables constant and low-pulsation pumping. The hygienic pump conveys media with a wide range of properties gently and independently of pressure and viscosity fluctuations. No challenge is too difficult for the NEMO® BH: even low-viscosity to barely flowing media, with or without solids content, and shear-sensitive, sticky or abrasive materials present no problems for the progressing cavity pump. With the optional heating or cooling jacket, you can also quickly convey products that tend to harden or require temperature control. By starting the pump, a vacuum is created under the follower plate. This also exerts a pre-pressure on the medium and thus ensures constant suction. The continuous delivery protects your system from shock loads and therefore reduces wear. In addition, emptying with a residual quantity of less than one percent is guaranteed. This significantly reduces waste, and you save costs at the same time.
Advantages
Technique

- Hygienic design of the components and machines, as well as cleanability of the system parts
- Constant, low-pulsation delivery prevents pressure reversal points or pressure drop in the line or system
- Gentle conveying of challenging media
- Residual quantity in the container after emptying less than one percent of the total quantity

FAQ emptying
Dosing and barrel emptying systems are used in numerous industries, including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, construction, environmental and process engineering. They are particularly suitable for highly viscous, pasty, sensitive or solid-containing media.
Yes, dosing and barrel emptying systems can be integrated into existing automation and control concepts. Processes can be monitored, controlled and documented using sensors, control technology and interfaces to higher-level control systems.
Dosing and barrel emptying systems are suitable for low- to high-viscosity media, pasty substances, suspensions, media with solid content and sensitive or shear-sensitive products. The exact design is always application specific.
Dosing and barrel emptying systems are designed for reliable, continuous operation. Maintenance requirements are manageable and primarily limited to replacing wear parts and conducting regular functional tests.
All relevant original spare parts are available for dosing and barrel emptying systems from NETZSCH Pumps & Systems. These include seals, lobe rotors, hoses, valves, dosing units and other wear-related components. All spare parts are precisely matched to the respective system.
The correct spare part can be identified by the machine number, serial number, or item number. Spare parts lists, technical drawings and the operating and maintenance instructions also assist. Alternatively, the NETZSCH Pumps & Systems service team can provide expert support in selecting the right original spare part.
Yes, NETZSCH Pumps & Systems offers tailor-made dosing and barrel emptying systems. Systems, materials, controls and interfaces are individually tailored to your application, medium and process requirements.
The experts at NETZSCH Pumps & Systems will accompany you from consultation and design to commissioning of your dosing or barrel emptying system. The goal is to find a technically optimal and economical solution for your process.
