Advantages of NEMO® SH Plus Hygienic Pump
NEMO® SH Plus Hygienic Pump Construction
NEMO® SH Plus hygienic pump comes with a flexible rod to meet the high hygiene requirements, rather than open joints or joints filled with oil, that connects the drive to the shaft for handling highly sensitive, viscous, and abrasive liquids. The rod is heat-shrunk connected with the Rotorrotor,Rotors,rotorsrotor and connection point so that the liquid conveyance is hermetically sealed.
Since there is no friction between components due to the connections/joints, there is hardly any wear on the flexible rod and it doesn’t need lubrication or seal, which reduces the maintenance costs. The material of construction used in sanitary applications is stainless steel of various grades – in a polished version for the wetted parts – and a stator made of FDA-compliant elastomer is used, and single-acting seals can be used for shaft seals, optionally also a double-acting seal can be provided.
The pump design with bearing housing and drive shaft facilitates all types of drives ensuring versatility and flexible installation.

- Flow rates from 1 LPH up to 140 m3/hr, ensuring efficient handling of complex fluids in food industries.
- Excellent in dosing viscous fluids such as flavors and additives used in the process.
- Excellent suction capability and hence suited for vacuum applications.
- Conveyance of fluids against high differential pressures of up to 24 Bar.
- Suitable for viscous liquids up to 1 to 3 Million cP, showing its capability for various types of fluid consistencies it can handle.
- Capable of pumping high-viscous, abrasive liquids containing solid particles and shear-sensitive substances.
- Flexible Rod Design: Designed for uncompromising hygiene and long service life, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
- FDA-Approved Elastomers: The shaft seal elastomers are approved for conveying complex liquids in the food industry by FDA standards, ensuring safety and compliance.
- Installation Flexibility: Offers both horizontal and vertical installation options, providing adaptability for various setups.
- Reversible Flow Direction The pump allows for a reversible direction of rotation, enabling conveyance in either direction up to the maximum pump pressure, providing operational flexibility.
- Easy Serviceability: Designed for easy serviceability, reducing downtime, and ensuring consistent performance.
- Optional Heating: The pump in a jacketed design can be optionally heated, making it suitable for handling temperature-sensitive media.
