Continuous conveying of abrasive and corrosive paints and varnishes
With NEMO® progressing cavity pumps, you can continuously convey even abrasive and corrosive media in the paint and paper industry. In addition, the progressing cavity pump enables you to achieve exact dosing despite a lack of fluidity. Thanks to the innovative design of the NEMO®, maintenance and service can be carried out even when the pump is installed. This saves you time and the associated maintenance costs. The TORNADO® T.Proc® rotary lobe pump has a particularly long service life when pumping abrasive media in the construction industry. You can even pump dispersion-containing primers with a high solids content without any problems. In this way, you extend the service life by more than three times.
Exact mixing and dosing of different components in silicone production
Precise dosing plays a decisive role with modern materials. With the NEMO®barrel emptying systems, you can dose a wide variety of material components without interruption. This is made possible by the unique design of the progressing cavity pump. NEMO® barrel emptying systems guarantee you precision requirements of plus or minus one percent. Thanks to the high delivery volume and the uninterrupted dosing, you can significantly reduce your processing time.
Fast and reliable conveying in paper and pulp processing
With TORNADO® rotary lobe pumps, you can convey media with special requirements such as kaolin slurry or ceramic slurry quickly and reliably. Thanks to an individual material pairing optimally matched to the product, the TORNADO® enables you to achieve particularly long running times with low maintenance. To save time when cleaning and maintenance work is required, you can remove the front of the pump chamber in a few easy steps. This makes the entire pumping area easily accessible. Thus you can shorten your service times, which is a great advantage, especially with abrasive and highly viscous products.
Safe, gentle and efficient conveying of highly reactive substances
Substances such as lithium sludge are among the most demanding pumped media. The NEMO® progressing cavity pumps in stainless steel design enable you to pump highly reactive substances efficiently. Thanks to the innovative design, you pump the medium continuously and gently, i.e. free of pressure fluctuations, pulsation or shear forces. This keeps maintenance and servicing costs extremely low, even with demanding media.
Uninterrupted and safe discharge of numerous hazardous substances
The pumping of fatty acids in the chemical industry is subject to stringent legal requirements. With the innovative TORNADO® T.Proc® rotary lobe pumps, you can pump the most diverse types of hazardous substances in compliance with all regulations. The unique design enables you to safely empty and fill tanks or tank trucks and ensures a particularly long service life. Even solvent-contaminated media pose no problems for the TORNADO®. This means that you expose neither personnel, consumers, nor the environment to unnecessary danger.

FAQ chemical, pulp & paper
NETZSCH Pumps & Systems offers a wide range of pump technologies, including progressing cavity pumps, rotary lobe pumps, multi screw pumps and peristaltic pumps. The optimal pump type is selected depending on the application and medium.
Depending on the pump type and design, a wide variety of media can be pumped. The spectrum ranges from water to aggressive or corrosive chemicals to highly viscous, pasty or solid-containing media. In the chemical and paper processing industries, asphalt, chemicals, fertilisers, fatty acids and adhesive primers, among other things, are reliably transported. Even demanding media such as hydrogel, ceramic slip, kaolin slurry, offset inks, and suspensions pose no problem for our pump solutions.
For a reliable configuration, information on the pumped medium, temperature, and viscosity, the desired flow rate and delivery head, and the operating mode is required, among other things. In addition, the installation situation and the standards or norms to be complied with, such as API, ATEX or hygiene standards, play an important role.
The selection of the appropriate pump type is based on your process data and technical requirements. For complex applications, design and application engineering are also involved to develop a technically and economically optimal solution.

A complete pump unit usually consists of the pump, drive motor, coupling, and baseplate. Depending on the application, additional controls, as well as measuring and safety technology, may be included.
Yes, it is possible to purchase pumps without a drive. Depending on the pump design, these are delivered pre-assembled. Special requirements or deviations can be arranged individually.
To increase operational safety and process reliability, accessories such as frequency inverters, dry-running protection systems, mechanical seal monitoring devices, and pressure monitoring devices are often used. The selection is made on an application specific.
Machine offers are generally valid for up to 90 days. Different agreements may be made on a project-specific basis.
The delivery time for standard units is usually around six to eight weeks from the factory after receipt of order. Project-specific or customer-specific designs may vary from this.
