The tight sleeve connection – ZSM Fittings Connection– is an axial non-positive and detachable pipe connection. Used as a vertical riser pipe in open pit and underground mines as well as in deep wells. Our patent-protected tight sleeve system is a unique alternative to other conventional connection systems due to its quick and easy assembly/disassembly and space-saving design. All of this ensures considerable cost savings through the whole life cycle.

ZSM Fittings Connection

The ZSM Fittings Connection excels owing to its cost-effectiveness, especially when used with high-performance submersible pumps. Here it shows off its system advantages of time-saving assembly and disassembly. In confined installation situations the low installation dimensions of the ZSM Technology allow optimized pipe diameters. The easy disassembly of the pipes allows to change a pump quickly. Downtimes due to maintenance and repairs are reduced to a minimum.

ZSM FITTINGS CONNECTION IN DEEP-WELL SINKING

The ZSM Technology has been used for more than 20 years in German brown coal open-pit mining to manage the groundwater level. Especially in well galleries with a high amount of interconnected wells the advantages of the ZSM fittings connection are emphasized. The frequent pump changes – due to high solids content of the pumped medium and the moving open-pit – can be executed much faster because of the very short assembly and disassembly times.

The low installation dimensions of the connection allow higher pipe diameters. As a result, lower velocity can be achieved at the same pump capacity by even enlarging the system efficiency. Also this ensures a substantial extension of the service life of a pipeline and the pump used. The ZSM Technology is also very popular for applications in irrigation projects with deep wells, especially due to the advantage of the low installation dimensions and short installation time and its resultant benefits.
