NEMO® progressing cavity pumps convey products in the paint and coatings industry

The paint and varnish industry represents one of the most versatile and challenging fields of application for NEMO® progressing cavity pumps.

The areas of application here include the reliable feeding of abrasive paper fillers and corrosive sizing agents as well as the exact dosing of viscous printing inks and lacquers.

Paint & Coatings Industry

In the paint and coatings industry, the substances used in production are primarily viscous and/or have solid content. NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pumps and TORNADO® Rotary Lobe Pumps handle these products gently and with low pulsation.

Challenge accepted

To ensure reliability, tempered rotors and stators provide suitable abrasion resistance and mechanical seals or lip seals can be customized to best fit your application.

With the NEMO® BY progressing cavity pump in FSIP® design with xLC® stator adjustment system, you can reduce your maintenance time by up to 66 percent.

Pump offset colors efficiently and reliably with this pump

To increase performance and efficiency, the diaphragm pump was replaced by NEMO® BY progressing cavity pumps. With the NEMO® BY, you can gently convey even the most demanding media, such as offset colors, with low pulsation, regardless of pressure and viscosity fluctuations. The pump is optimally designed to convey abrasive liquids with high viscosity and solids content. For the offset colors in the particular application, a single-stage L-geometry was used for the rotor and stator, which enables a higher flow rate at low differential pressure. The chosen undersize of the rotor prevents excessive jamming and thus improves mechanical efficiency. The slim design of the progressing cavity pumps also allows the manufacturer to install four of these pumps – for the four different colors – together with frequency inverters on one carrier module. This is integrated into the base plate of the transport truck and can be easily removed. This provides you with free access to the devices in no time at all and allows you to carry out any maintenance work.

Typical products handled in the paint and coatings industry include dispersions, binding agents, primers and plaster masses.
