6 Block design

As the drive is directly flanged onto the pump‘s

lantern, the dimensions are compact, the overall
weight is low, the shaft heights are constant irrespec-
tive of the design and size of the drive – the pump
requires low maintenance, is easy to maintain and
economical.

 NEMO® Industrial Pumps
NEMO® progressing cavity pumps are used in all sectors of industries to convey almost all types of media
continuously, smoothly, with low pulsation and dosing in proportion to speed.

NEMO® BY
in block design

Performance
Flow rates up to 400 m³/h at pressures up to 24 bar.

Fields of application
Industrial applications in environmental technology and in the food, oil
and chemical industries for fluid to viscous media with and without
solids.

Features
Compact design with directly flanged drive. Its low investment, operating
and maintenance costs really make it stand out. Four rotor/stator geom-
etries for optimum performance with every kind of application.

NEMO® SY
with bearing housing and drive shaft

Performance
Flow rates up to 500 m³/h at pressures up to 48 bar (standard) or up to
240 bar (special applications).

Fields of application
Industrial applications in environmental technology and in the food, oil
and chemical industries for fluid to viscous media with and without
solids.

Features
Design with bearing housing and two-part shaft allows all types of drive
to be used universally and makes servicing the rotating parts simple and
fast. Four rotor/stator geometries for optimum performance with every
kind of application.
