Flowrox enters IIoT market with flow control solution
Finnish flow control solutions provider Flowrox has launched industrial internet of things (IIoT) tool Flowrox Smart Expulse, a robust inline pulsation dampener that can reduce downtime by settling up to 90% of pressure peaks. The system uses a smart 3D interface, allowing operators to see, operate and control equipment, while up to 10% of pumping energy can be saved by using the flexible inner hose and filler gas as temporary storage. In addition, the company's Flowrox SmartCube can continually monitor up to five Expulses, using the Flowrox Malibu platform.
Flowrox has entered the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) era by bringing to market a new generation of Smart Solutions™ that offer a new way to control, operate and visualise equipment and entire facilities by means of a 3D user interface. The newest innovation is Flowrox Smart Expulse™, a pulsation dampener with a Smart option.

Pulsations can cause distractions, a common issue with several types of positive displacement pumps. Pulsations can result in annoying noise and vibrations in the process pipeline, which can potentially lead to breakages over time. Flowrox offers the ideal solution to this problem: Flowrox Smart Expulse™. This innovation will help you to achieve the dream of any plant operator – fluent processes without any distractions.

Simple and intensive

Flowrox Expulse™ is the simplest and most robust inline pulsation dampener on the market. This solution quiets the banging noise by settling up to 90% of pressure peaks that can eventually lead to pipeline breakage. Moreover, it saves up to 10% in pumping energy by temporarily storing it to the flexible inner hose and filler gas. The flexible construction eases system maintenance, leading to reduced downtime costs.

Additional smart features

The new Smart option enables accurate pressure control regardless of process changes. This prolongs system lifetime also in the most challenging conditions. Flowrox SmartCube can simultaneously control up to five Expulses, and their performance can be monitored using the Flowrox Malibu™platform.

It is also possible to connect other process parameters and indicate values in Malibu™, which is accessible on any device with an Internet browser.

The Flowrox Smart Expulse™ pulsation dampener can be installed on any pulsating pump from any manufacturer on the market. Its flexible construction makes pump maintenance extremely simple, and it does not collect any sediment or particles. The Smart feature additionally contributes to saving extra energy, making it an excellent solution for a wide range of heavy industries.
