01 / Industrial Product Communication · Peroni Pompe

From Engineering Complexity to Customer Clarity

I transformed complex high-pressure pump engineering into a reusable visual communication system for product pages, technical sales, Factory Acceptance Tests, service communication, and international exhibitions.

01 / Context & Challenge

Static CAD and verbal explanations could not serve every customer-facing audience.

Industrial Context

High-pressure pumps for critical, application-specific conditions

Peroni Pompe manufactures API-compliant plunger, diaphragm, metering, and steam-driven pumps for process industries. Standard power ends are combined with liquid ends, valves, seals, materials, and unit arrangements selected for each application.

Communication Challenge

Accurate drawings and verbal explanations were not intuitive for every stakeholder.

Marketing requested a film for customers, prospects, and non-engineering departments inside client organisations. My role was to preserve the technical logic while using viewpoint, colour, motion, and information depth to make the operating principle easier to understand.

02 / My Role & Workflow

Five decisions behind every approved visualization.

  1. 01

    CAD Preparation & Privacy

    In SolidWorks I add visible liquid or gas volumes, rebuild missing presentation details, remove non-operational hooks or service parts, and simplify confidential geometry.

    Decision Show function without exposing unnecessary engineering detail.

  2. 02

    CMF & Camera

    I compare render materials with physical samples and manufactured finishes, then choose the viewpoint that makes interfaces and hierarchy easiest to read.

    Decision Accuracy and legibility before visual polish.

  3. 03

    Flow & Timing

    Stroke, valve timing, and flow direction are structured from engineer briefings, factory observation, and protected sectional drawings.

    Decision Turn operating logic into a readable sequence.

  4. 04

    Three Review Gates

    I validate CMF, review critical keyframes, and approve a low-resolution video preview before committing to batch rendering.

    Decision Correct expensive errors before final output.

  5. 05

    Post-production & Delivery

    Approved sequences are rendered in batches, then edited in Premiere Pro and After Effects with branding, explanatory text, and required visual effects.

    Decision Adapt one verified technical story to each channel.

Workflow Evidence

Decisions grounded in the physical product.

01 / Factory Observation

Operation before animation

I observed the pump's internal construction with engineers before defining stroke, valve timing, and flow.

02 / Engineering Reference

Verify relationships and timing

Sectional drawings support component and sequence checks. All technical content shown here is permanently obscured.

03 / Physical Validation

Match the digital model to reality

I compare machined finishes, painted texture, and lubrication conditions with the visualization.

03 / Best Visuals — Top Five

Five selected outcomes show the path from product inspection to customer application.

04 / Technical Deep Dive — 3130N Plunger Pump

Connecting product architecture, mechanical motion, and fluid behaviour.

The 3130N combines a power end, three reciprocating plunger assemblies, valve timing, and two fluid phases that cannot be understood from the exterior alone. I structured one sequence that moves from product construction to the operating principle without losing the engineering relationships.

  • Product architecture
  • Mechanical motion
  • Valve & flow timing
  • Customer film

01 / Engineering Input

Reduce CAD complexity without breaking the system.

The SolidWorks input established the complete product envelope, power-end and liquid-end interfaces, service features, and external presentation geometry. I removed non-operational details, rebuilt missing presentation elements, and controlled the disclosure depth before developing the internal operating sequence.

What could change Presentation detail, removable parts, and disclosure depth.
What could not change Axes, interfaces, component order, and mechanical continuity.

02 / Communication Decision

Reveal the mechanism before explaining the flow.

The sequence first separates the major assemblies, then reveals the crank mechanism and three plunger paths before moving into the liquid-end section. This progression gives the viewer a spatial model first, so later valve and flow changes have a clear mechanical cause.

Design principle Establish where motion comes from before asking the viewer to interpret hydraulic timing.

03 / Engineering Verification

Check motion, valve state, and flow as one timeline.

Reviews were conducted verbally with engineers and focused on incomplete detail visibility, fluid colour and representation, and critical coordination points such as valve opening and closing in relation to plunger motion. I exported keyframes and a low-resolution preview to resolve those issues before batch rendering.

  2. Gate 02Critical keyframesValve state, plunger position, and corresponding fluid direction
  3. Gate 03Preview approvalFluid colour, timing, camera sequence, and explanatory rhythm

04 / Final Customer Output

One film moves from product construction to operating principle.

Peroni Pompe supplied the base model; I independently completed the CAD preparation, visual direction, animation, rendering, and post-production. Marketing defined the brand copy and publication channels. Produced without agency involvement, the approved film was published on the official website and LinkedIn.

  • Architecture connects to internal motion
  • Cyan and magenta separate the two fluid phases
  • One verified timeline supports technical explanation
