MODULAR DRYER DESIGN FOR EVERDRY ADSORPTION DRYERS

bekevryAt the COMVAC HANNOVER, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES presented the innovative variant of the EVERDRY FRA-V 2000C adsorption dryer. The special feature of this design is the modular concept, which allows for the separation of the adsorber containers from the pipework module, and for the reconnection in just a few steps. Through this structure, even larger plants can be packed in standard sea containers. This drastically reduces the transport and packaging costs and offers optimum protection to the plant during long sea journeys.

A compressed air piping system that delivers quality air exactly where you need it! From compressor to the point of use, use AIRnet

airnet j 2013aFAST
Thanks to a smart design and low weight materials, AIRnet can be installed 70% faster than conventional systems.

EASY
AIRnet pipes and fittings are assembled in just a few steps by a single installer, without the need for heavy machinery.

RELIABLE
The durable, corrosion-free AIRnet pipes and fittings come with a 10-year warranty. Low friction and seamless connections minimize pressure drop.

Reduce your cost and CO² emissions, and recover energy losses with the energy box

airw j 2013aKey benefits:

  • Recovers up to 94% of the energy of the compressor shaft power resulting in huge tangible savings
  • Reduces your CO² emissions
  • Plug & Play concept with all major mechanical parts pre-mounted in the canopy
  • Easier access to compressor, motor and thermostatic valve housing for easy maintenance

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES are the experts in condensate management for compressed air systems. The photograph shows the normal filter or air receiver drain in the foreground together with its giant twin brothers BEKOMAT 9’s about to be shipped to a client with specialised and difficult condensation collection requirements. As market leaders for this technology BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have a complete range of products suitable for turbo, piston compressors, extreme conditions of climate or location and large flows.

FOOD GRADE COMPRESSED AIR UPDATES

beko-august-13The Food and Beverage Grade Compressed Air Best Practice Guideline 102 is available from the British Compressed Air Society and contributing members such as BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. This best practice guideline has been produced because compressed air is a utility and as such its provision is normally included in the pre-requisite programme rather than the HACCP process.  There was also an opportunity to review and update the guideline.

BEKOWORLD customer magazine available as iPad application

The digital processing of the magazine and brochures also allows the integration of multimedia elements such as audio, video and links to current web content. For example an animated "how-does-it-work" which you'll find inside the BEKOMAT brochure.

 

 

HOW TO BUY A COMPRESSED AIR DRYER

beko-oct-13-2Surely it’s easy there are fridge dryers for 3°C Pressure Dew Point and desiccants for anything below that? In principle “Yes” says Chris Norris UK Service Manager for BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. “There are umpteen different ways to take it further than this simple rule. The client should ask himself several questions such as:-

  • What will be the lowest temperature in the system?
  • Does the equipment requiring dry compressed air have a specification for dewpoint?
  • What will be the flow and the variations?
  • Is power available?
  • What is the budget?
  • Does the budget include for installation
  • Will the addition of this piece of equipment and possibly filters mean raising the pressure because of inevitable pressure loss through a system
  • Will my compressor go to this higher pressure

New compressed air station from CompAir exceeds quality and efficiency targets

Bump Testing Doesn’t Have To Be A Headache

There are many reasons why a portable gas detector may not to react to gas, some of which may not be evident to the user.

The safest way to make sure a gas monitor is working at its optimum is to regularly test the unit. This is known as a gas or ‘bump’ test.
 
The following scenario highlights the importance of bump testing:
