Fruits & Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables have been an important constituent of daily nourishment ever since the era of our hunting and gathering ancestors. During those times, however, no type of systematic cultivation yet existed. Only with the introduction of the concept of agriculture did it become possible to cultivate fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. 
Any boundaries to innovative ideas in the processing of fruits and vegetables have been eliminated by globalization. NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pumps have been confronted with new challenges time and again as the palette of media to be conveyed undergoes continuous change due to a constant flow of new products on the market.
The specific type of NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pump employed in a given situation will depend upon the properties and consistency of the media as well as upon the hygienic standards required. Our selection ranges from the block pump with flange connections to the funnel pump with conveying screw to the hygienic pump.
The characteristics of the NEMO® Pump make it ideally suited for transporting solids such as fruit and vegetable peels, stems or pits. 
Often, self-priming pumps are needed for emptying tanks, and mobile pumps for eliminating long suction pipes consisting of hoses. Pumps in the fruit and vegetable industry are often used for the feeding of sensitive equipment, such as filters, which may be damaged by high pulsation. Since NEMO® Pumps generate almost no pulsation, they are perfectly suited for such applications.
With NEMO® Pumps, it is also possible to process whole fruits or vegetables directly at the receiving location, which can amount to great savings in both time and effort. Hygienic factors are also a priority in fruit and vegetable processing since the final products are exported to locations around the globe and must therefore have a long shelf life. NETZSCH Hygienic or Aseptic Pumps can then be used to guarantee the very best in hygienic conditions.
