General
NEMO® barrel emptying pumps suction themselves automatically to the bottom of the barrel or container to achieve almost residue-free emptying in the chemical, pharmaceutical and foods industries. The heart of the barrel emptying system is a volumetrically conveying NEMO® progressing cavity pump. When the NEMO® pump is started, a vacuum is created under the follower plate. This then simultaneously puts slight pressure on the substance in order to guarantee constant suction in the pump.
Features of NEMO® barrel emptying pumps:
- Very gentle conveyance
- Nearly residual-free emptying
- Conveyance also of compacted products
- Conveyance of solids
NEMO® barrel emptying pumps offer you:
- Conveyance volume in proportion to rotation speed
- Constant low-pulsation conveyance
- High efficiency
- Low life cycle costs combined with easy serviceability
