Compressed Air/Compressors

Air quality testing services including tunnel ventilation, compressed and breathing air. We supply Atex compressors and blown fibre products

BEKO have worldwide experience in the removal and treatment of condensate from compressor systems, enabling it to be disposed of safely. The OWAMAT Oil/ Water Separators and BEKOMAT Automatic Drain traps are central to this impressive track record.

That's why we believe that no-one is better placed to understand the importance of all relevant statutory obligations including the Water Resources Act 1991. Everyone operating a compressed air system has to ensure that unacceptable levels of oil contaminated condensate are not discharged to the sewer and river system. BEKO have an extensive range of oil/ water separators and condensate drains to help you meet your legal obligation.

We have introduced BEKO CHECK a quick on-the-spot examination of your compressor installation. This gives a clear indication of whether you are operating within the legal requirements and what needs to be done if you are not. We can also provide an engineer to install equipment should you decide to place an order with BEKO.

Basic studies also for external participants: By means of an Internet-based training concept, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES enables knowledge transfer to its staff worldwide. The programmes of the online academy are also accessible now as an e-Learning course to non-BEKO personnel: an interactive knowledge pool, for engineers, universities, students, and compressed-air users.

Monique Abeels-Koch, head of the BEKO Academy and managing partner of BEKO TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, explains the central idea of the concept: "The  purpose of the academy is to be able to learn independently anywhere in the world and at a time convenient to the learner."

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have recently made some changes to their website to improve and make it easier for you to download documents.
On our homepage we provide a huge range of documents that are available for download. There are many different files from operating manuals, brochures, photos to certificates and application reports.

Where as before these files were found on different pages, they are now on one page offering a selection program to help you locate the file you are looking for easily. You just need to select the product/ topic, the type of document you are looking for and the language, the website will then provide you with a list of documents, just select the one you are after and download.

BEKO continuously strive to improve and make changes for the better.

The British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) recognised Michell Instruments’ 10 years’ continuous membership of the organisation at their Prestigious Awards Lunch on 26th November. The award was accepted by Product Manager, Nick Malby, who represented Michell Instruments at the event.

Michell has many customers from the compressed air industry, and being active members of BCAS helps the company influence the society in matters that are important to their customers as well as keep up to date with the latest developments.

According to BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, operators of compressed-air plants will in the future concentrate intensively on the increase in efficiency via more precise and faster data acquisition and analyses.

With the METPOINT range of products, BEKO offers an innovative measurement technology for all aspects regarding the operation of a compressed-air plant to prospective customers.

Even "oil-free" components and compressors are no guarantor for "oil-free" compressed air due to impurities in the ambient air / intake air.  In most cases, a certain residual oil content cannot be entirely avoided.

Therefore precise monitoring of the oil vapour content on a constant and reliable basis is important.  In particular in critical production processes such as those found in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, food production and surface engineering. The analysis and control of compressed-air quality is a crucial factor in avoiding costly lost production and product recall. 

Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, Waldenbuch, Germany, is family-owned in the third generation, and every family has its traditions... For almost 100 years, the Ritter family has kept a sweet secret- The recipe for success is to produce good chocolate: "square, practical, good". Their chocolate range, Ritter Sport, is now sold in about 90 different countries.

Optimisation of the production processes  in the  Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co.KG required an improvement in compressed air quality. The problem was clearly defined: Com-pressed air for the pneumatic handling of cereals, cocoa powder and other primary matters in the production of chocolate had to be in accordance with the strict  requirements of the HACCP concept. This concept is a preventive system which ensures the safety of food for consumers. Developed in 1959 in the USA for NASA. Under German law, HACCP became a constituent part of the Food Hygiene Ordinance in 1998.  In the EU, it came into effect in 2006, together with the new hygiene regula-tions package.

Innovative solutions and a competent implementation were in demand.
The safest way to prevent clumping in the conveyor pipes, and microbial growth in the product is compressed air which is processed to a pressure dew point of -40 °C. Therefore, an adsorption dryer was the central component of the system. The BEKO processing and system experts convinced the customer with a system solution of fully aligned quality products. The central module being a heat-regenerated adsorption dryer of the EVERDRY© FRA-V 3400 C type. The function of the FRA-V series require no compressed air, either for the desorption process nor for subsequent cooling of the heated desiccant (ZERO PURGE). Therefore, 100% of the compressed-air volume flow at the inlet of the system is available for the application

EVERDRY – the concept
Aligned system components form a clear compact unit: a CLEARPOINT© pre-filter with a BEKOMAT© 14 condensate drain. A heat-regenerated adsorption dryer of the EVER-DRY© FRA-V 3400 C type. A water-cooled heat exchanger for the pre-reduction of the compressed-air temperature. An EVERSORP© EC 2600 oil vapour adsorber  to ensure the required freedom from oil contamination. A CLEARPOINT© after filter for the separation of particles. Finally, sterile filtration prior to introduction into the com-pressed-air system. Permanent monitoring of the residual oil content in the com-pressed air is implemented with measurement technology made by BEKO.

Simultaneously with the change of name, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES GmbH becomes the principal shareholder of BEKO SYSTEMS GmbH. BEKO SYSTEMS GmbH will continue to act as an independent company with its own corporate management. Herbert Blauscheck is the former and the new general manager, filling this position since 1 May 2006.

The successful range of products and services of BEKO SYSTEMS GmbH also remains unchanged and will continue to represent an ideal supplement to the portfolio of BEKO TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, the parent company.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES will now increasingly integrate the sales activities of its affiliated company into the optimally developed international BEKO sales and service network. With this, the compressed-air users and trading partners on all global markets will now benefit even more from the interconnected performance of both members of the Group.

BEKO Technologies, the compressed air specialists is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.

The Bromsgrove based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.

BEKO is principally involved in compressed air treatment solutions. BEKO has developed, manufactured and sold high-quality, reliable and efficient components and systems for compressed air processing and condensate technology.
