Longer service life
“Smart Conveying Technology” (SCT) is the result of the con-
tinuous development of the established seepex stator tech-
nologies. It offers a longer service life for the rotor and stator,
due to the integrated retensioning device, simple exchange of
pumping elements without dismantling the pump, and time
and costs savings of up to 30 %.
As with the tried and trusted stator retensioning device, the
stator of the “Smart Conveying Technology” can also be re-
tensioned several times before the stator has to be replaced,
resulting in a significantly longer service life. The detachable
connection between the rotor and the coupling rod makes
changing the rotor quicker and easier. The pump also remains
in place, and there is no need to remove the suction casing,
pipelines or joint.
Shorter maintenance time
Dividing the stator into two parts and the detachable connection
between the rotor and the coupling rod makes maintenance work
quick and easy, keeping time and personnel requirements to
a minimum. Whether it is a matter of exchanging a worn out
stator or rotor, or removing blockages and foreign bodies, the
speed at which maintenance work can be done is astound ing,
saving up to 80 % of the assembly time (depending on the
pump size).
Less space required
When it comes to space requirements, “Smart Conveying
Tech nology” makes a real contribution, because the pumping
elements can be assembled and dismantled without the need
to remove the entire pump or any of the pipe. Therefore, no
extra space for pipe spools or floor-space to remove or extend
stators is needed.
“Smart Conveying Technology” is available for new pumps and
is also simple to fit to existing installed pumps as a retrofit kit.
It can convey a multitude of products in almost any industrial
sector.
The special stator and rotor design –
Smart Conveying Technology.
Eventually every rotor and stator wears out and must be re-
placed. This procedure can often be arduous and problematic.
The pipework has to be separated, the pump removed and
almost completely dismantled – a time-consuming and expensive
operation.

Key advantages
•
Increased rotor and stator life by means of integral
retensioning device
•
Extremely easy maintenance due to fast assembly/dismantling
of components
•
Increased productivity due to short maintenance down-
times for the pump
•
Reduced space requirements for all maintenance tasks,
as no dimension for stator replacement is necessary
•
Easy handling during maintenance due to low-weight
components
•
Low transport costs for spare part deliveries due to
low-weight components
•
Environmentally friendly due to separate disposal of
elastomer and steel components
