Replace pump with SCT pump and receive 3-years warranty on wear parts!

11/11/2020

Customers who make the SEEPEX SWITCH and replace or retrofit a conventional progressive cavity (PC) pump with SEEPEX’s Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) maintain-in-place PC pump design will receive a three year performance guarantee. The wear parts guarantee covers rotors, stators, seals and universal joints for three years.

SEEPEX’s SCT pump design has been around for over a decade and continues to provide customers with lower maintenance times, reduced costs, and operating efficiencies compared to other pumping methods. The SCT design offers easy access to the split stator and quick release rotor, which means quick and easy maintenance, short downtimes, energy efficiency, and overall lower life-cycle costs compared to PC pumps of conventional design. The pumps convey media for virtually all industries and handle conveying capacities up to 500 USGPM and pressures up to 120 PSI.

SEEPEX is confident in their product and want customers to have the same confidence. This guarantee provides peace-of-mind to customers that the days of cumbersome, time consuming, expensive rotor/stator changes are behind them. SCT is an easy, cost effective, drop in solution for the replacement of all older or obsolete pump brands. SCT pumps eliminate the need to remove any pipework for maintenance, do not require special tools, and have lighter components for easier and safer lifting. Maintenance time is therefore reduced by up to 85% compared to traditional PC pump designs.

The design also allows for the stator to be adjusted and tightened as wear progresses. SCT stators last on average twice as long as traditional stators. This saves time and money on parts, maintenance, and improves performance efficiency.

New steam valve reducers!

15/9/2020

New series of valves 732-D/ 738-D and 832-D/ 838-D for use with steam

The new steam pressure reducers are part of the well-known DRV 700 and DRV 800 valve series, are piston-operated, spring-loaded valves and have inlet pressure compensation. This means that strongly fluctuating inlet pressures have no significant influence on the set holding pressure. The holding pressure can be adjusted continuously between 2 - 10 bar as required. The valves are available with female thread to ISO 228 or flanges to DIN EN 1092. NPT or ANSI are also available as options.

Berluto pressure reducers of the DRV 732-D, 738-D or 832-D and 838-D series have been specially developed for use with steam up to 200°C. The carefully selected materials ensure optimum steam resistance in this range. With upstream pressures up to 16 bar and downstream pressures between 2 and 10 bar, our standard valves are suitable for a wide range of applications and enable flow rates from kvs-value 3.6 m³/h to 14.4 m³/h.

Berluto pressure reducers work with an integrated inlet pressure relief, which ensures a constant outlet pressure even if the inlet pressure fluctuates considerably. All nominal sizes are equipped with a removable cartridge for easy maintenance. We offer our steam pressure reducers as standard with female thread (ISO 228 or optional NPT - ASME B1.20.1) and DIN flanges (optional ANSI and JIS).

For optimum sealing even in demanding steam applications, only high-quality elastomers made of EPDM or FEPM are used. For high-temperature steam applications up to 200°C, we only use FEPM seals.

All metallic internal parts are made of stainless steel and therefore have a high resistance even against aggressive media.

All sizes have housing parts made of high-alloy cast steel 1.4408 with a very good general corrosion resistance. This makes them suitable not only for steam but also for critical media such as aggressive gases and liquids or, for example, demineralised water.

Our steam valves are available with female thread and as flanged versions.

SEEPEX launches a fully automatically adjustable progressive cavity pump!

15/9/2020

With SCT AutoAdjust the progressive cavity pump is automatically adjusted to the optimal operating point – simply with one click from the control room or locally on site through the SEEPEX Pump Monitor via the app. The clamping between the most important conveying elements – the rotor and stator – can be easily adapted to the conditions in the process or the degree of wear. With "SCT AutoAdjust", SEEPEX has further developed and digitized its internationally patented and multi-award-winning Smart Conveying Technology (SCT).

Easy integration into existing systems
The control system, sensors and readjustment device are already included in the package. The SEEPEX Pump Monitor can be integrated on request. The SEEPEX Pump Monitor measures all relevant operational parameters such as temperature, flow rate, pressure, vibration, etc. – 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. This means that the data can be analyzed only locally or, even more extensively, also in the cloud, in the SEEPEX Connected Services. This makes it possible to measure and optimize pump performance. The degree of wear becomes apparent and any upcoming maintenance can be planned in advance. This reduces downtimes and avoids unplanned outages. Integration into existing process infrastructures could not be easier. Start-up, connection to the Pump Monitor and connection to the cloud are carried out by a SEEPEX specialist.

The shortest, fastest and easiest maintenance work ever
In 2008 SEEPEX launched its Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) on the market and revolutionized the maintenance of progressive cavity pumps. The tried and tested design principle: the Smart Stator consists of two halves and can be easily installed and uninstalled on site without having to remove suction or pressure pipes. Maintenance can therefore be carried out very easily by just one individual. With an integrated retensioning device, the clamping between the rotor and the stator can be adjusted for optimum conveyance if the flow rate changes, e.g. due to wear and tear. This significantly extends the service life of the rotor and stator, reduces the need for spare parts and lowers the life-cycle costs of SEEPEX pumps.

With the SCT AutoAdjust this retensioning of the stator is now performed automatically at the push of a button via a hydraulic unit, completely without the use of special tools. The newly developed premium model range makes work on the pump considerably easier and therefore helps to save even more time and costs. Assembly and dismantling is still just as easy as with the familiar SCT system. In addition to the usual adjustment of the pump speed, retensioning is a further, much more efficient way of keeping the pump flow rate constant within the optimum range. SEEPEX enables maximum energy savings and "the shortest, fastest and easiest maintenance work ever. Moreover, life-cycle costs are significantly reduced," says Dr. Tobias Mänz, Project Manager at SEEPEX. SCT AutoAdjust will be available for pressures of up to 8 bar. The compact dimensions of the tried-and-tested two-stage SCT are retained, so that easy replacement is possible.

The new pump technology is accompanied by a number of innovations and advantages:

There is no need for complicated procedures on the plant or journeys to remote pump locations to carry out manual adjustments.
Pump installations that are difficult to access can be easily reached remotely.
Reduced maintenance requirements, less wear and tear, lower spare part costs and a significantly longer pump service life due to the simple automated operation and more frequent adjustment at an early stage of the stator clamping.
Precise adjustment of the optimum operating status in order to react quickly and easily to changing process conditions and ensure an optimal process result.
Unplanned downtimes are now a thing of the past. The status of the pump is clearly visible at all times. The result of the readjustment is immediately visible in the performance of the pump and the wear reserve can be read off in the higher-level systems.
All maintenance work can be carried out in a minimum of space, as there is no need for piping to be dismantled. Furthermore, there is no additional space requirement for disassembling the stator.
Keeping an eye on the plant at all times and everywhere. Unnoticed changes or problems are a thing of the past thanks to the monitoring of the operating and pump status in the control system, on the Pump Monitor or optionally in the SEEPEX Connected Services.

The service life of the pump is extended, the system availability increased and pump operation optimized in terms of the conveying capacity, energy consumption and use of resources. "All this reduces the life-cycle costs of the pump and makes SCT AutoAdjust the most cost-effective progressive cavity pump ever," explains Dr. Christian Hansen. The specialist in progressive cavity pumps, pump systems and digital solutions once again demonstrates its innovative strength in the field of intelligent pump solutions.

New Seepex BCF range of sanitary progressive cavity pumps!

24/1/2020

The BCF range is 3-A Sanitary Standards certified, with a flexible rod drive train design, suitable for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal care industries.

The hygienic design is based on a flexible titanium shaft, the Flexrod, instead of a coupling rod with universal joints. The design ensures residue-free cleaning by Clean in Place (CIP) and Clean out of Place (COP) processes. CIP cycles are shorter, and COP is simplified by easier disassembly of the rotating parts without needing to disassemble the Flexrod connecting rods or joints. Additionally, the Flexrod is held in place with food grade fasteners that only require standard hand tools for disassembly.

Further benefits of the BCF range:

Increased safety - eliminates the possibility of metal contaminating food products
Durable - more corrosion resistant than 300 series stainless steel
Easier to service - fewer parts than in other designs
Less wear - no rubbing components eliminates the need to replace coupling rods

SEEPEX’s line of CS progressive cavity pumps, which includes the BCF, are used where cleanliness and hygiene are of the utmost importance. They satisfy the highest requirements with regard to sanitation, gentle conveying, cleaning and sterilization. The CS line can transfer media of both high and low viscosities, with a gentle pumping action, resulting in low product shear and stable conveying capacity and pressure.

Existing BCSO pumps can be upgraded to the BCF design by simply changing the wetted rotating parts. The external dimensions and pump casing are identical, requiring no further adaptation of the suction/discharge pipe or mounting footprint.
