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:
- Nearly shear-free conveyance of highly viscous, highly abrasive or highly filled substances
- Continuous or intermittent emptying
- Clean emptying, residue of less than one to two percent
- No hiatus
- Very gentle, low-pulsation conveyance
- Very little pressure on the follower plate
- Emptying of conical barrels
- Low pressure conditions in the system
- Capacity is infinitely adjustable by means of the rotation of the motor
- Dosing directly from the barrel
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

NEMO® barrel emptying pumps are universally applicable and empty nearly any container. They have a wide spectrum of applications and are used primarily for substances with the following properties:
- Low to high viscosity
- Dilatant, thixotropic or structurally viscous
- Highly filled
- Shear-sensitive and pressure-sensitive
- Highly abrasive
- Smearing or non-smearing
- Sticky or gel-like
- Heated or unheated
