NBM Series (800-10,000 CFM)
Electronic Zero Loss Drain
NEXT’s NBM Series electronic zero loss condensate drains are designed for efficient removal of unwanted condensate particulates, or other moisture within the air stream. Zero loss drains operate by only releasing condensate when there is condensate present within the reservoir. Through this process the Zero loss drain does not allow any compressed air to escape from the system, which results in the saving of compressed air. Controlled by a state-of-the-art processor, the NBM prevents blockages with a specially engineered series of integrated valves that adjust automatically when condensate is detected at the maximum level. Available in a wide spectrum of models, the Aqua Pure NBM drain utilizes precision engineering and design to enhance condensate management by eliminating drain maintenance and compressed air loss.

Overview
Principles of Operation
NEXT’s NBM Series electronic zero loss condensate drains are designed for efficient removal of unwanted condensate particulates, or other moisture within the air stream. Zero loss drains operate by only releasing condensate when there is condensate present within the reservoir. Through this process the Zero loss drain does not allow any compressed air to escape from the system, which results in the saving of compressed air.
Empty: The Condensate flows into the NBM via the feed line (1) and accumulates in the receiver tank (2.) A capacity functioning sensor (3) continuously records the filling level and sends a signal to the electronic control as soon as the container is filled.
Filled: The pilot valve (4) is activated and the membrane (5) opens the outlet line (6) for the discharge of the condensate. When the NBM is empty, the outlet line is tightly reclosed in time before any unnecessary compressed air losses can occur.
Next Air & Gas Performance Advantages
Easy Maintenance
Maintenance time and costs are kept to an absolute minimum with a quick and easy procedure consisting of just one part.
Robust & Reliable
The NBM design is made in corrosion resistant aluminum, which makes the NBM series particularly reliable and robust. A silver coating protects the outside of the housing.
Energy Savings
Maximum energy savings is achieved from efficient design, operation that guarantees true zero air loss.
Reliability
An integrated sieve eliminates concerns about dirt, Y Strainers, and extra maintenance giving you the highest level of reliability.
Design
The innovative design enables simplified handling as well as installation and maintenance with minimum time expenditure. The devices consist of no more than three units joined together with quick-release connectors. The control and sensor units are only installed once, only the service unit (including all wear and pressure parts) needs to be exchanged for maintenance purposes. This robust condensate drains are suitable for both oil-contaminated and oil-free, aggressive condensates.
