This is a progressive cavity pump designed for demanding marine environments. The Netzsch NEMO BY is built for handling challenging applications involving sludge, wastewater, and viscous liquids. Powered by an electric drive, this pump is ideal for sludge and waste transfer installations. The NEMO BY features a progressive cavity pump type for efficient movement of even thick and abrasive materials. To ensure reliable performance and longevity, Netzsch recommends regular maintenance practices. These include protecting the pump against dry running, flushing the system if the medium hardens, and inspecting the rotor/stator and joint assembly during planned maintenance schedules. Common potential issues include stator damage from dry running, rotor/stator wear, seal leakage, and joint boot failure. Spare parts readily available include the stator, rotor, seal kit, joint kit, drive-end bearings, and gaskets.

Protect against dry running. Flush if medium hardens. Inspect rotor/stator and joint assembly during PMS.

Inspection

Common failures & inspection points

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Stator (elastomer) wear or swelling from chemical incompatibility or dry-running
  • Rotor wear from abrasive solids carried in the sludge/waste stream
  • Mechanical seal or packing leakage at the drive shaft
  • Dry-running damage when suction is starved by a low tank level
  • Coupling rod/universal joint wear inside the pumping element
  • Pulsation or vibration from a partially blocked suction line

Inspection checklist

  • Verify dry-run protection (low-level cutout on the suction tank) is functional
  • Inspect the mechanical seal or gland packing for leakage
  • Check stator condition by pressure/vacuum test or visual inspection at overhaul
  • Verify coupling rod/universal joint play is within the maker's limit
  • Check the suction strainer for blockage or fouling
  • Monitor motor current and discharge pressure trend against baseline for early wear detection
  • Verify the relief valve (if fitted) set point and function

Service intervals

Stator/rotor inspectioncondition-based, commonly every 4,000-8,000 running hours depending on media abrasiveness
Mechanical seal/packing checkevery 2,000-4,000 running hours
Coupling rod/joint inspectionat overhaul, typically annually

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Stator wear (capacity loss)condition-based - renewal is usually judged on delivered capacity/pressure falling roughly 10-20% below baseline rather than a fixed dimension - confirm against Netzsch's own guidance

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Stator (elastomer) set
  • Rotor
  • Mechanical seal or packing set
  • Coupling rod/universal joint kit
  • Shaft seal O-rings/gaskets

Safety

  • Never run dry - rapid stator damage and localized overheating can result
  • Isolate and lock out the driver before opening the pump for stator/rotor service
  • Sludge/wastewater media may be biologically contaminated - follow PPE requirements
  • Confirm the relief valve (if fitted) before assuming the pump is protected against a blocked discharge

Class survey

Sludge/sewage pumps are generally checked under the pollution prevention (sewage treatment) survey scope where applicable, confirming the pump serving that system is operational and any required standby arrangement is in place.

Estimated lifetime: Progressive cavity pumps in sludge/wastewater duty commonly see stator and rotor wear parts last on the order of 2,000-8,000 running hours depending heavily on media abrasiveness and dry-run incidents; the housing and drive typically last much longer.

Replacement Parts

Spare parts notes

Stator, rotor, seal kit, joint kit, drive-end bearings and gaskets are recommended.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
