Mechanical equipment like pumps are motor-operated. These devices are powered by electricity and are designed to transfer different types of fluids. As these pump systems work under harsh environmental and functional conditions, they may incur faulty situations like load tripping, overload, cavitation, etc. These conditions may damage the pump system during operation and can cause severe damages and accidents. This is why it very important to monitor the load for smooth and efficient performance. Pump load monitoring systems are used to monitor the input current and performance output of the pump system. This post focuses on the importance of load monitoring systems and introduces you to a popular load monitoring system.

Know about Different Tool Setting and Breakage Technologies
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are designed for long-term performance and repeatability, and they have ushered a new era of manufacturing. Although these machines are designed for perfection, at times they may not work as expected due to broken tools or inaccurate tool settings. How to avoid this situation? The answer lies in various tool setting and breakage tool detection technologies. This post offers you insights on these technologies, their importance, and their types.
Continue readingTechna-Guard – How to Avoid Dry Running of Pumps?
Dry running of pumps implies they being operated without any liquid inside, and this is not recommended at all. This is because of an obvious reason that a lot of heat will be generated, there will be friction between some components, and a possible damage to impellers. There are many damages, which could occur because of dry running. So dry running of pumps should be avoided at all costs. This post discusses various factors that lead to dry running of pumps, and ends by letting you know of an effective way to prevent it.
