Seepex capitalizes on MTP with WAGO, streamlining the integration of system modules into process technology.

These eccentric screw pumps are specifically designed for conveying highly viscous media and abrasive products. When nothing else works, then it’s time for Seepex pumps. The company, based in Bottrop, Germany enjoys a reputation as an international leader in process technology. With the MTP – the “Module Type Package” from WAGO – Seepex plans to integrate its future solutions directly into the customer’s control system or the process control level. The pump then becomes an intelligent device in the automation architecture without time-consuming interface work or complex SCADA programming. This saves time and money.

MTP: The abbreviation stands for the “Module Type Package.” The standardized integration interface was originally developed by WAGO and is currently defined in the 2658 Directive adopted jointly by NAMUR, ZVEI and VDMA, with the title, “Automation Engineering of Modular Systems in the Process Industry.” A common working example of MTP can be found in printer drivers from the IT world. Drivers enable the connection of any computer to various printer models – regardless of the manufacturer. Connect, switch on, print: the champions of the MTP are pursuing a similar goal within working groups of the various industrial and trade associations.

Expectations Are Rising

From now on, Seepex plans to use the MTP to integrate its pump solutions into higher-level production processes. This includes the chemical industry, as well as food processing and wastewater treatment. “The MTP makes life easier and automation more affordable,” summarizes Dr. Christian Brehm about the advantages. The background for this statement by the Global Product Manager Digital Solutions: process technology is becoming increasingly complex. Therefore, companies are searching for system modules that do not generate much work for software engineering, save time, and offer a host of additional benefits. “The level of expectations from our clients is high.” An example, Brehm notes the capacity for easy integration, including preferences for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Eccentric screw pumps are subject to wear and tear caused by everyday operation. This primarily affects the stator, in which the eccentric screw turns and is made from an elastomer. During operation, conveying chambers and a sealing line form between the rotor and stator. Friction, and eventually, wear, develops at the contact surface, which becomes noticeable because of an increasing gap and reduced pump output. Indicators for increased wear included a reduction in pump pressure and higher power consumption by the drive motor in volume-controlled applications. Deviation from the ideal path can be easily measured in both cases. The MTP provides a path for using the data directly for status monitoring, without expensive integration into the control system, which guarantees operational safety.
