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.
IIoT for pumps
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
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.
Lubricant film condition
- Ex-protected sensor design
- Sensors for bearings with clamping rings
- Integrated sensors for mechanical seals with plug connection
Control cabinet design
- Two PLCs — one for each pump
- Human-machine interface on the cabinet
- Air purge device for hazardous areas
- Redundant power supply
- Safety information system relays
Your benefits
- High level of operational safety through continuous monitoring of the operating status
- Simplified identification of machine status through a “traffic light” signal
- Optional: Shutdown information when a critical operating state is reached
- Storage of all operating data for long-term analysis
- Cost optimization — preventive maintenance only when required
- High system availability due to minimization of downtime
METAX - monitoring
- Timely detection of wear through innovative monitoring technology
- Ensuring favourable operating conditions
- Early recognition of changing operating parameters
