Traditionally, modifications to
pipe systems or repairs to
leaking pipes or valves cause
major inconvenience or high
cost. Often these works involve
draining down whole buildings
and lengthy refill with attendant
venting & de-aeration. Often
the process can take many days
to complete and re-commission.
NO TAP engineering goes to the
heart of the problem on
pressurised pipe-work by being
effective in the right spot. It
eliminates drain downs, refilling
and venting. It accomplishes
your solution in an interval of
time that other methods fail to
achieve .
QUICK RANGE Sizes 15 - 50mm
LEAK SEALING CLAMP Sizes 10 - 100mm
It offers great advantages
to the Contractor and
client alike – economy –
no inconvenience or long
shut downs. NO TAP – is
quick – clean - positive.
Work is confined to where
it is required.

PUMPED UP ABOUT 4.0
POTENTIAL
With the race towards Industry 4.0 on, progressive
cavity (PC) pump specialist SEEPEX is assisting
customers to utilise Smart pump technology to
boost process productivity.
‘Smart’ doesn’t mean more data is being
generated; the data just becomes more accessible
and relevant. For example, using pressure
transducers which send a variable signal to a PLC
integrated to a variable speed drive will speed up
or slow down the PC pump, varying the flow rate
as required. This reduces the wear rate, extending
the service life and lowering TCO.
Similarly, replacing sensors using IO-Link interface
capabilities with variable sensing technology
reduces reliance on remote data processing,
enabling intelligent analysis of performance.
And using flow meters linked to variable
frequency drives (VFDs) allows for real time
feedback and speed control of motors, achieving
accurate product flow and enabling predictive
maintenance schedules.
A properly selected PC pump can also collect data
to provide diagnostic tools for the entire system.
For example, an unexpected pressure increase
could signal a product change or pipework
obstruction, while an increase in measured flow
could indicate narrowed pipework.
However, when selecting pump technology, it’s
equally important to consider existing technology
infrastructures. Used either as a standalone item
or integrated easily into SCADA systems, SEEPEX’s
smart dosing PC pumps maintain accurate
flow using continuous real time feedback and
adjustment. Pump and system protection can
also be managed using temperature and pressure
sensors linked to the integral PLC.
Even a simple pump becomes exponentially more
valuable when connected. Data from one sensor
can be combined with data from another and
linked with cloud intelligence to make smarter,
even autonomous, business decisions. Data
connectivity has the potential to revolutionise
how we work.
