YOUR DOWNTIME SOLUTION. Are you tired of costly maintenance and extended downtime? With SEEPEX #SmartConveyingTechnology (SCT), say hello to quicker maintenance, increased efficiency, and significantly reduced life cycle costs. SEEPEX SCT progressive cavity pumps offer:
✅ 200% extended maintenance intervals
✅ 85% reduced maintenance time
✅ 200% longer stator life
✅ 25% energy saving compared to conventional PC pump design
Additionally, SCT is available as a retrofit option for all compatible pumps, making it even easier to upgrade your system.
SCT – SMART CONVEYING TECHNOLOGY
CONTINUOUS ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
The patented Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) ensures the fastest maintenance possible resulting in reduced downtime and significantly reduced life cycle costs in virtually all market sectors. The Smart Stator and Rotor are both manufactured in two pieces allowing the pump to be maintained without the need to remove either the suction or discharge pipe work resulting in an 85% reduction in maintenance times.
The unique design of SCT enables the sealing line between the rotor and stator to be adjusted to suit the required application and also to compensate when wear starts to occur, typically resulting in more than doubling the life of the rotor and stator.
- Conveying Capacity
- 0.3–134 m³/h
- 1.3–590 US gpm
- Pressure
- ≤ 8 bar
- ≤ 120 psi
Reduced downtime
Reduction in maintenenance time by up to 85%
Increased service life
Integrated retensioning device resulting in up to 200% increase in the life of the rotor and stator
Maintain in Place
Two-piece Smart Stator and Rotor allow the pump to be maintained in place without the need to remove the suction or discharge pipe work or the use of any special tools
Increased productivity
High energy and performance efficiency due to the in-built retensioning device which allows the the clamp between the rotor and stator to be adjusted for optimum performance
Environmentally friendly
Free molded stator halves can be easily recycled due to the lack of the stator tube.
Replacment of the rotor does not require additional universal joint components or lubricants
Retrofit-Option
The SCT Retrofit-Kit allows an existing conventional tube stator pump to be upgraded without the need to modify the pipework or base plate
Ease of installation
As SCT pumps do not require any pipework to be removed during maintenance, additional ‘spool’ pieces are not required to be fitted reducing installation costs and overall footprint

Blockages and failures occur more often with some pump types, but for many of today’s water operators, there is a solution. Here, we take a look at how progressive cavity (PC) pumps are solving some of the water industry’s key pumping challenges.
Pumps are integral to the successful operation of wastewater treatment works (WwTW). Whether moving untreated water, transferring dewatered sludge or metering chemicals, the pumps in use at WwTW need to be easy to monitor, robust, reliable and able to handle a variety of materials. But not all pumps are the same.
Blockages and failures occur more often with some pump types, and with water companies delivering efficiency savings that have resulted in more unmanned sites, the discovery of process problems can be delayed, sometimes resulting in pump downtime. For many of today’s water operators, there is a solution. Here, we take a look at how progressive cavity (PC) pumps are solving some of the water industry’s key pumping challenges.
Monitoring and maintenance
Many of today’s WwTW were originally designed to be manually supervised by on-site operatives who checked for blockages, process or equipment problems and corrected them in a timely manner. Due to partial process automation, many sites are now unmanned, with maintenance planned at specific intervals.
When unforeseen problems occur, such as pump blockages due to ragging, or lack of suction lift due to grit contamination causing excessive pump wear, a maintenance team has to be despatched to rectify the issue. However, some PC pumps, such as SEEPEX’s Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) range, can be remotely monitored, making it easier for problems to be anticipated and enabling predictive maintenance.
For example, the use of variable frequency drives (VFD) and the ability to monitor speed means operators can foresee when maintenance will be required. As the pump stator wears, the pump speed increases; once this is identified, the SCT pump can be very quickly adjusted to match its original capacity, keeping efficiency high and providing more time to plan for maintenance.

The Hetch Hetchy reservoir to the east of San Francisco plays a central part in supplying drinking water in California. The reservoir stores up to 442 billion liters of drinking water and provides for about 80% of the population in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s 2.6 million people! The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is responsible for storing, regulating and checking the drinking water quality. The SFPUC was unsatisfied with their previous pump type and was looking for an alternative. SEEPEX won them over.
