Barrel emptying system scoops prize at AgroExpoAt the specialist international agri-
cultural trade fair AgroExpo 2013
in Spain, NETZSCH Pumps &
Systems was awarded the ‘Primer
concurso de innovación’ innova-
tion prize. This is now the third
time that Netzsch has won an
innovation prize for its products in
other European countries. This
time it was the economy version
of the Netzsch NBE 200 barrel
emptying system for 200 l barrels.
Netzsch barrel emptying systems
are supplied as standard for 5 l, 20
In February, KSB launched the latest
generation of its Etanorm standard-
ised water pump series, which has
been produced since 1936.
The type series of the new genera-
tion of KSB’s Etanorm standardised
water pump comprises 43 pump
sizes, which can be driven by either
2-pole or 4-pole motors. The selec-
tion chart has been extended by
additional pump sizes, so that sizes
can be selected even closer to the
best effi ciency point. In work with
CFD (computational fl uid dynamics)
for fl ow simulation KSB’s develop-
ment engineers have optimised the
hydraulic contours. The results were
verifi ed in comprehensive tests.
Thanks to the hydraulic system the
pump sets already meet the EU
requirements of Commission
Regulation
547/2012/EC for water pumps,
which will enter into force in 2015.
The engineers placed a particular
focus on suction behaviour and a
low NPSH value, designed to mini-
mise the risk of cavitation and
obtain a smooth and stable pump
operation even in diffi cult
operating conditions.
KSB reports that confi ned casing
gaskets ensure reliable sealing
between pump casing and casing
cover even in highly varying
operating conditions. The material
range comprises cast iron, bronze
and nodular cast iron as well as
stainless steel.

Caprari obtains BS OHSAS 18001
‘Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series’ certifi cation.
In addition to the already acquired
and consolidated certifi cations for
the Quality Management System
(ISO 9001) - of the Italian head-
quarters and the export subsidiaries
- and the Environmental Manage-
ment System (ISO 14001), Caprari
took a further step forward in its
endeavour to achieve continuous
improvement when, last 12 October
2012, it obtained BS OHSAS 18001
‘Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series’ certifi cation from
DNV Business Assurance, one of the
world’s major independent certifi ca-
tion authorities.
For Caprari, to have obtained this
certifi cation paves the way to a
new and tangible opportunity
from both the corporate and
social viewpoints since, besides
acknowledging the effi cacy of the
occupational quality and produc-
tivity improvement and prevention
system implemented to date, it
also underscores the social dimen-
sion of its workers’ health.
Moreover, BS OHSAS certifi cation
affi rms the juridical importance of
the quality of relationships, in
accordance with the health and
safety laws and regulations in force.
The quality of the product, the
respect and preservation of the
environment, the care taken in the
workplace to protect the workers’
health and safety continue to
encourage Caprari to strive
towards goals where the Customer
is safeguarded by a growing rela-
tionship of mutual trust.

l and 200 l barrels. However, there
are also other sizes up to 1,000 l
available on request. They can be
operated on their own or as part
of a dosing system with control
unit, buff er and various application
units, from valves to two-part
mixing heads and including
dispensers. To that eff ect, the
barrel emptying systems have
been further developed, so as to
provide more capacity with fewer
components and more
advantageous manufacturing
costs.
Other prizes are the ‘Targa
Beltrami’ innovation prize which
was awarded to the newly
developed Tornado T2 rotary lobe
pump in Italy in March 2012 at
the Biogas Trade Fair in Cremona.
Half a year later in the
Netherlands, it was the B.Max
biogas mixing pump at the
‘Industrial Processing’ Trade Fair,
the specialist international trade
fair for industrial processing in
Utrecht.
