Predictive maintenance

Pump Monitoring Systems

Important operating parameters are monitored, and data will be collected in one system
Applicable for pumps, compressors and agitators to support predictive maintenance

Integrated sensor technology

Sensorized Mechanical Seals

In cooperation with our partner BestSens AG (www.bestsens.de ), a live demonstration of an emergency shutdown of a mechanical seal was recorded in the video.

Superior sensor technology

Predictive Maintenance

The market offers a wide range of promising solutions for predictive maintenance. In all systems, machine data are collected and analyzed, and their evaluation serves as the basis for decisions on target-oriented maintenance.

Customized implementation of requirements

Monitoring Platform

No cloud-solution, the data remains with the customer
Network connection according to customer specifications
Few important data for monitoring (traffic light system), extensive measured values for analysis
Platform for integrating a wide variety of sensors depending on the application and customer specifications

We make your pump "smart"

IIoT for Pumps

Typical arrangement for two high duty pumps

Monitoring Set Up

METAX monitoring systems for two machines include the highest level of self-monitoring:
two separate PLC-units monitor each other mutually.
Our systems collect all information about a machine set up: pressure, temperature,
flow of barrier fluid, vibration and with our innovative technology
lubrication condition of the bearings and the mechanical seals.

“See” what is not visible

Looking Inside

Lubrication condition of machine parts may change during operation due to
changed operating conditions of the machines, due to wear and aging of lubricant.
METAX ultrasonic sensors are built in close to the area of lubrication without disturbing the
operation of the machine parts. Our measuring technology together with complex
mathematical analyzing algorithms delivers precise life information of the lubrication status.

Modular equipment with sensors for

Users perspective

Your Benefit

High operating safety by continuous monitoring of operating condition
Simplified identification of the status of the machine by using a “traffic” light signal
Optional: shut down information when reaching a critical level of operating conditions
Storage of all operating data for a long-term analysis
Cost optimization - predictive maintenance only when necessary
High availability of the plant by minimizing
the downtime
