The pumping characteristics of the NEMO® progressing cavity pump make it the ideal choice for many applications in the mining industry. The pumps are traditionally installed for products or applications where:
- The pumped product contains very high levels of solid particles
- The product is abrasive
- High density products need to conveyed
- Corrosive products are to be transferred
- High pressure or long distances need to be overcome
- Accurate dosing is required
- Low shear pumping of high viscosity products is necessary
- The application has low suction pressure
NETZSCH progressing cavity pumps are used in a wide range of applications in the mining industry, including:
- Mine dewatering
- Transfer of mineral slurries
- Void back-filling applications
