Video shows de-ragging time of Mono

A video has shown Mono NOV's EZstrip pump being de-ragged in just 2.5 minutes.

The video has been featured on numerous industry websites and e-bulletins and can also be seen on Mono's website.

According to the company, it shows that the EZstrip makes the process of de-ragging and maintaining a PC pump easy, using just spanners and an Allen key.

The EZstrip pump was launched in February through the company's website, which featured video clips of the pump in action and a competition.

It is claimed that EZstrip represents a leap forward in progressing cavity (PC) pump design.

It has been specifically designed to provide a way to disassemble, de-rag and maintain a PC pump in-situ, eliminating the costly maintenance and downtime that servicing can often cause.

On average, the EZstrip can reduce the maintenance time needed to replace a rotor, stator, coupling rod and drive train by up to 95 per cent.

On average, the process of completely stripping down a pump and replacing the drive-train elements takes one full day; the Mono EZstrip is claimed to reduce this to just 30 minutes.

The pump can be installed into new plants or retrofitted into existing Compact C installations.

No electrical disconnection is required and suction and discharge pipes remain untouched.

The EZstrip pump offers dry-run protection and all operational parameters are unaffected.

The model range, available in either cast iron or stainless steel, has a capacity of up to 165m3/h and 12bar pressure.

WRAS-compliant elastomers are incorporated into the manufacture of this pump and a pre-assembled drive train is also available.
