OTEC relies on the new beta/ X metering pump
Brilliant results - precisely metered
OTEC Präzisionsfinish develops and produces machines for surface finishing. The company relies on high quality - and on the new beta/ X metering pump from ProMinent. It ensures a precisely controlled supply of lubricant in the mass finishing process and impresses with its reliable performance, simple integration and high level of user-friendliness.
Finest surfaces for sensitive components
The surface finishing specialist builds mass finishing systems that deburr, smooth and polish metal parts. The processed workpieces come from industries such as medical technology, the automotive industry or jewelry manufacturing and are often highly sensitive.
To ensure that the surfaces are processed evenly and precisely, the compound - i.e. the special liquid for the mass finishing process - must be metered precisely into the machine. This is the only way to reliably achieve the desired quality.
The pump previously used performed this task reliably. But OTEC Präzisionsfinish wanted more: a more modern solution with greater ease of use, better ease of maintenance and future-proof technology - without compromising on precision and robustness.
Initial situation at a glance
- Application: Mass finishing in a wet process
- Medium to be metered: Compound (special liquid for the mass finishing process)
- Dosing quantity: in the range from a few ml/h to several l/h
- Metering pump control: contact operation, via PLC of the mass finishing system
Metering pump beta/ X - compact, precise, durable
The company now relies on the new beta/ X Diaphragm Metering Pump. The pump meters lubricant with high repeat accuracy (± 1 %) and can be integrated directly into the machine control system via digital signals. Thanks to its robust housing (degree of protection IP65) and chemical resistance diaphragm, it is ideal for continuous operation in industrial environments. In addition to high precision, the built-in stepper motor also ensures consistent dosing.
The beta/ X offers an intuitive user interface with a clickwheel and display. OTEC Präzisionsfinish uses the pump in contact operation - a precisely defined amount of compound is metered for each processing cycle. The new PFAS-free PE diaphragm was successfully field-tested at OTEC for over a year before the beta/ X was launched - without any failures.
Key features of the metering pump
- Dosing range of the beta/ X: 10ml/h - 50 l/h, at back pressures of 2-16 bar
- Control: digital contact operation
- Dosing head and diaphragm: PFAS-free and chemical resistance
- Chemical-resistant PP housing with degree of protection IP66, ideally suited for harsh industrial environments
- Operation via Chlickweel and display: direct input in l/h or ml/contact
Stable processes, shiny workpieces
With the beta/ X, OTEC Präzisionsfinish has raised its dosing technology to a new level. The pump works reliably, meters precisely and is easy to maintain. This reduces downtimes and increases process reliability - a clear advantage when processing high-quality workpieces.
The cooperation with ProMinent went smoothly: from the competent advice and short delivery times to the personal contact person who knows the requirements inside out. OTEC Präzisionsfinish has relied on ProMinent's solutions and partnership-based support for many years.
Summary
- Higher process reliability thanks to precise dosing
- Reduced maintenance thanks to robust and PFAS-free diaphragm
- Easy integration into existing controls
- Ideal for sensitive workpieces with high quality requirements
- Long-standing, trusting partnership with ProMinent
