Barrel Emptying System With NEMO® BY Pump
Independent and almost residue-free emptying of barrels and containers
NEMO® barrel emptying systems are versatile and suction themselves towards the bottom of the barrel. With NETZSCH emptying systems, you can empty your barrels and containers in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries almost wholly.
The heart of the system is a NEMO® BY progressing cavity pump, which provides you with constant, low-pulsation pumping. The versatility is enormous: From low-viscosity to barely flowing media, with or without solids content, shear-sensitive, sticky or abrasive, with the progressing cavity pump, you can pump even complex media gently and independently of pressure and viscosity fluctuations. Optionally, the pump can also be heated. This enables you to pump products that tend to harden or require temperature control. When the system is switched on, a vacuum forms under the follower plate. At the same time, this exerts a slight pre-pressure on the medium to ensure constant suction. This ensures emptying with a residual quantity of less than one percent of the total content. In this way, you save medium and, consequently, money.
Advantages
Technique

- Constant, low-pulsation delivery prevents pressure reversal points or pressure drop in the line or system
- Gentle conveying of demanding 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.
