Maintain proactively

Pump monitoring systems

Important operating parameters are monitored and data is collected in a system. Applicable to pumps, compressors and agitators to support preventive maintenance.

We make your pump “smart”

IIoT for pumps

Tailored implementation of requirements

Monitoring platform

  • No cloud solution, the data stays with the customer
  • Network connection in accordance with customer specifications
  • Few important data for monitoring (traffic light system), extensive measurement values for analysis
  • Platform for integrating a wide range of sensors depending on the application and customer requirements
Typical arrangement for two high-performance pumps

Pump monitoring system

METAX monitoring systems for two machines include the highest level of self-monitoring: two separate PLC units monitor each other. Our systems record all information about the installation of a machine: pressure, temperature, sealing liquid flow, vibration and, with our innovative technology, the lubrication status of bearings and mechanical seals.

A look inside

The lubrication condition of machine parts may change during operation as the operating conditions of the machines change due to wear and aging of the lubricant. METAX ultrasonic sensors are installed near the lubrication area without affecting the operation of the machine parts. Together with complex mathematical analysis algorithms, our measurement technology provides precise, up-to-date information about the lubrication status.
