Conveying and cutting in one process step without expensive additional equipment, this is exactly what the NEMO® BO/SO hopper pump with integrated cutting device makes possible. With the progressing cavity pump, for example in the food industry, large solids such as particles of fruit or vegetables can be easily and quickly chopped and pumped for further processing.
The NEMO® BO/SO progressing cavity pump with hopper and coupling rod with feeding screw and force-feed chamber is employed in almost all branches of industry to provide continuous, pressure-stable, gentle and low-pulsation conveyance. The hopper housing with cutting unit guarantees optimum feed of chunky medium into the conveying elements. If the medium passes the force-feed chamber with the cutting unit the larger fruits and vegetables are cutted immediately. This unit consists of a rotating knife with three blades and a variable number of stationary knives adjustable to the size and consistency of the particles.
