Barrel Emptying System With NOTOS® 2NSH Pump
Hygienic barrel emptying with absolute minimum of product waste
NETZSCH barrel emptying units pump their way through your products, reaching the bottom of the barrel or container in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industry with the absolute minimum waste of product – resulting in less than one percent residual product in the barrel.
The heart of the barrel emptying unit is a NOTOS® 2NSH twin screw pump. With positive displacement it creates a low pulsation flow to convey the product without damage. The products are only exposed to friction loss through the discharge piping. The barrel emptying system is particularly suitable for conveying products containing solids in suspension.
Barrel emptying system: Easy to clean
The flow rate is independent of temperature or viscosity. Even highly abrasive and non-Newtonian liquids and pastes are no problem. Besides, the 2NSH prevents pressure or flow interruptions even in conical containers. The NETZSCH single slide rail system raises and lowers the follower plate safely while providing a simple and easy structure to clean.
