NETZSCH Pumps & Systems Donates to Earthquake Victims in Turkey and Syria

NETZSCH Pumps USA, the complex fluid handling solutions provider, announces that Nelson Bertaia has joined the team as TORNADO/ Grinder Product Line Manager along with being the Regional Sales Manager Northeast.

At a tank farm in a Brazilian sea port, two centrifugal pumps were used for transferring heavy oil from storage tanks to road tankers or vessels until February 2020. This required the high viscosity of the medium to be reduced by means of diesel injection, costing the owner at least 2,000 US dollars each day. In addition, the centrifugal pumps regularly broke down due to cavitation damage. The owners decided to initially replace one of the two centrifugal pumps with a NOTOS multi screw pump from NETZSCH. Due to its very good suction capabilities, the selected four-screw 4NS is also suitable for highly viscous media with up to 200,000 cSt, achieving a flow rate of up to 3000 m³/h.

On the anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the ceremonial opening of two container schools took place in the Turkish province of Hatay. The Busch family, owners of Busch Vacuum Solutions, supported the project with a donation of 100,000 Euro.

The South African subsidiary NETZSCH Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd. has opened a new assembly center for pumps in Durban. In the presence of all employees of the subsidiary and the Global Pump Management Team, a festive opening ceremony was held in mid-November.
