Pump Monitor
The completely modular solution for monitoring the condition of industrial pumps
The modular METAX pump monitor: Detect early, wait proactively, avoid downtime costs
Avoid industrial pump failures and malfunctions, which often result in significant damage to production equipment and costly downtime for operators
Our industry-leading condition monitoring solutions identify potential pump failures before they occur, enable predictive maintenance, and increase your pump reliability. With the Pump Monitor, METAX GmbH offers you a complete modular solution for sensor-based condition monitoring of industrial pumps.
The modular design allows users to configure the Pump Monitor according to their specific requirements. Users can choose between a variety of measurement modules and sensors, including our patented SAW technology. Measurement data is evaluated and visualized online in the METAX web application.
But what if requirements change?
If required, the configuration of the pump monitor can be quickly and easily adapted to changing conditions and its range of functions can be expanded by integrating additional modules and sensors.
Your benefits
Increased reliability
Measure, detect and monitor even the smallest irregularities in the performance of your industrial pumps. Maintain a competitive advantage in predictive maintenance by avoiding expensive production downtime.
State-of-the-art technology
In addition to industry-standard measurement values such as pressure, flow, temperature and vibration, the METAX Pump Monitor with its patented SAW sensor technology gives you unique and usable insights into the condition of your mechanical seals and rolling bearings. Our easy-to-use, web-based dashboard provides an overview of all measured metrics — anywhere, anytime.
Data-based solutions
Make intelligent, data-driven decisions about pump settings, part life, repair times, and maintenance plans. The METAX Pump Monitor not only analyses the past and current performance of your industrial pumps to give you a better insight and understanding of the condition of your machines. It also uses the collected data to make accurate forecasts that help you operate your pump in the future and strategically plan maintenance intervals.
Save time and money
Production failures in process engineering plants can quickly become a major cost factor. If you understand the connections between machine operation, component wear and defects, you can reduce downtime and subsequent damage to expensive machines and save money as a result.
Individually adaptable
The modular design makes it easy to adapt the METAX Pump Monitor to your needs. Choose from a range of different sensor and monitoring solutions, combined to suit your needs.
Special case? Our prefabricated modules don't solve your problem? Tell us your requirements for the pump to be monitored, the scope of the desired monitoring, interfaces at the installation site and specifications. We make individual solutions possible.

Patented solutions as part of the Pump Monitor
Smart mechanical seal
According to operators, damaged mechanical seals are the most common cause of pump failures. The failure of a seal means significant damage to a system: The production process is stopped and broken seal parts can damage pump components, such as the impeller. In addition, the removal of leaked pumping medium is a costly special task.
Measure axial thrust
The running time of centrifugal pumps depends largely on the load on the bearings. With the METAX measurement method, axial forces can be recorded during operation, service intervals extended and operating conditions optimized running time.
