At the specialist international agricultural trade fair AGROEXPO 2013 in Spain, Netzsch Pumps & Systems was awarded the "Primer concurso de innovación" innovation prize. This is the third time in quick succession that the pump manufacturer has been honoured with an innovation prize for its products in other European coun-tries. This time it was the economy version of the Netzsch NBE 200 barrel emptying system for 200 litre barrels which was able to impress the jurors, who put it in second place among the 23 finalists.
Netzsch barrel emptying systems are supplied as standard for 5 litre, 20 litre and 200 litre barrels. However, there are also other sizes up to 1,000 litres available on request. They can be operated on their own or as part of a dosing system with control unit, buffer and various application units, from valves to 2-part mixing heads and including dispensers. To that effect, the barrel emptying systems have been further developed, so as to provide more capacity with fewer components and more advantageous manufacturing costs.
It is indicative of the company's innovative capabilities that a different product has made an impression at each of the three award ceremonies: The "Targa Beltrami" innovation prize was awarded to the newly developed TORNADO T2 rotary lobe pump in Italy in March 2012 at the Biogas Trade Fair in Cremona. Just half a year later in the Netherlands, it was the B.Max biogas mixing pump which impressed at the "Industrial Processing" Trade Fair, the specialist international trade fair for industrial processing in Utrecht, and now Netzsch Dosing Technology's new NBE 200 barrel emptying system has also won an award for innovation.
