NETZSCH Pumps in Plywood Manufacturing

NEMO is used in two different application sections in the plywood manufacturing process as follows:

Defibration Process: 

Before the Defibration process, the chips are coated with molten paraffin wax or emulsifiers. The coating of wax or emulsifier is done by using NEMO.

Blow line: 

From the deliberator, the pulp enters a blow line, where it is mixed with prepared glue. In this process, NEMO is used in feeding the prepared glue into the blow line.

Why Progressive cavity pump?

Other pumping technologies used in the process of making plywood are as follows.

1. Diaphragm pump
2. Gear pump

While using a diaphragm pump in the coating of wax or emulsifier they had an issue of pulsation. Causes of Pulsation are as follows:

 * Nonuniform coating of wax or emulsifier in the pulp thus reduces the moisture handling capacity of the plywood.

 *Vibration in the pipeline and thus creates leaks in the connection ports.

Gear pumps also can be used to transfer the coloring agent, additives, resin, fungicides, etc., into the glue preparation tank. Here there are chances to shear the product and thus can lead to the chemical and physical property change of the fluid.

Also, there could be a seal leak issue in the resin and additive line.

The blow line has a line pressure of 12 bar, the pump has to work against this pressure and inline dosing of prepared glue to be done without any pulsation. Hence customer is using PCP to get a constant flow against the line pressure.
