World premier of Bekomat 33

BEKOMAT 33The new BEKOMAT 33 was presented for the first time at this year’s Hannover trade fair in Germany. With this new condensate drain BEKO further extends the range started with the 31 and 32 drains two years ago. These drains have been very well received by our customers, leading to demand for a larger device- hence the new 33.

All three drains in the range have the same basic innovative concept in common: The BEKO service module. This module contains all wearing parts in a corrosion resistant housing which is fitted in seconds- making service a doddle! On the 33 we find, in addition, a condensate receiver tank to cater for larger condensate output, and a larger valve orifice.

When changing the service unit the condensate tank remains in place attached to the compressed air system, meaning no time consuming de-coupling of solid pipework.

Every service unit is pressure and function tested at the BEKO factory for peace of mind, and requires no electrical installation other than unplugging the electrical housing and plugging it back in again once the drain is serviced- just like plugging in an electrical item at home!

The new BEKOMAT 33 joins the other drains in the BEKO range, of which more than 1.5 million have so far been sold around the world. Please contact BEKO for more details

Massive improvement for sensitive applications

BekokatUntil now, absolutely oil-free compressed air for sensitive applications could only be produced using relatively costly, often interconnected compressor- and filter-based technology.

In many cases not entirely re-liably. Now a newly developed and effective catalysis method and an extremely reliable residual-oil monitoring system point the way to the future of permanent high-quality compressed-air processing and moni-toring.

With new technologies towards absolutely oil-free compressed air

the Bekokat systemUntil now, absolutely oil-free compressed air for sensitive applications could only be produced using relatively costly, often interconnected compressor- and filter-based technology. In many cases not entirely reliably. Now a newly developed and effective catalysis method and an extremely reliable residual-oil monitoring system point the way to the future of permanent high-quality compressed-air processing and monitoring.

In numerous fields of application, class 1 compressed air which, according to DIN ISO 8573-1, is technically oil-free, is far from clean enough. In accordance with this guide-value classification, the maximum oil content (including oil vapour) must not exceed 0.01 mg/m

Compressed air users, buying

pneudriAs part of the government Enhanced Capital Allowance ( ECA ) scheme, Parker domnick hunter energy saving compressed air drying products complete with Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS) have been added to the Energy Technology List ( ETL ) with effect from December 1st, 2008.

The ECA scheme for Energy Saving Technologies is a straightforward way for a business to improve its cash flow through accelerated tax relief, by encouraging investment in energysaving plant or machinery specified in the ETL which is managed by the Carbon Trust on behalf of the Government.

Richard Spires, General Manager of BEKO Technologies Ltd outlines his thoughts on Oil-free compresse

Richard SpiresOne of the big challenges in the current compressed air market is how to monitor stringent new guidelines on compressed air quality. With the launch of OILCONTROL, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have a powerful new tool which can aid the end user to check the quality of his compressed air.

BEKO  have many years experience in manufacturing solutions for clean and dry compressed air; they sell dryers in membrane, adsorption and refrigeration formats and are highly respected the world over.

Boge serves up energy savings to catering equipment manufacturer

Boge Installation As part of a company wide energy drive, Victor Manufacturing has realised 48% energy savings per annum on their compressed air related energy costs by installing an energy efficient Boge SLF40 frequency controlled screw compressor.

 Victor Manufacturing is a leading commercial catering equipment manufacturer. At their manufacturing site in Bradford an extensive range of food service equipment is manufactured which is used by all kinds of organisations such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals and universities to move, store and serve hot and cold foods.
