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
