Airchannel launches new compressed air payment solution

http://www.engineeringmaintenance.info/images/stories/Finance%20picture%201.JPGTo help businesses cope with the current tough economic conditions, Airchannel Limited is launching PaySmart, a new way of financing a company’s compressed air needs. As well as new equipment, PaySmart covers the fitting of new pipework and ancillaries along with full installation.

Subject to the package selected, it is backed by a regular programme of maintenance and free on site breakdown cover with a four-hour response time. It allows customers to obtain the latest technology at a fixed cost that is spread equally over between three and five years, avoiding a high capital outlay, and benefits from full tax relief.

E-Learning at BEKO

CondensationBEKO Technologies is further extending its product range by launching their first e-learning course - “The Basics of Compressed Air Technology”. This innovative course is now available to all customers and partners, giving them the chance to share and benefit from BEKO’s vast experience in compressed air.

The course “Basics of Compressed Air Technology” gives an insight into compressed air from the end users point of view. It provides information about applications and their quality requirements as well as how compressed air is produced and distributed.

Everything in a box

uhlMore and more often, industrial applications expect mobility and flexibility from compressed-air processing. For example for the employment at different sites or outdoors. A solution to that is the installation of complete compressed-air stations in transportable sea containers. These mobile performance centres make special demands on the technology applied, in particular as far as compressed-air drying is concerned.

A company which recognised the growing need for mobile compressed-air stations particularly early is Karl Uhl GmbH in Bochum, Germany. For 80 years now already, the experts from the Ruhr area have operated as wholesalers and service providers of compressed-air technology.

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.
