Simple is almost always better. It certainly is when it comes to injection pump control. Using a fully integrated drive system reduces total cost, speeds on-site installation and improves reliability.
The key components of an injection pump system are:
There are several ways to simplify installation, operation maintenance and total cost.
Take a look at the initial costs for traditional component-based systems versus an integrated drive system. In addition to being simpler, fully integrated systems cost less.
