Compressed Air/Compressors

An obvious first step towards cost saving when  producing compressed air might be to instal the most economical compressor for the job. But that is only a part of the story. Moving from traditional galvanised steel to Legris

Brecon Hills, nr Swansea United Kingdom, November 2006, Danone, the worldwide manufacturer of food and beverage products, is using Parker Hannifin's innovative NitroSource nitrogen generation system to produce a consistent and controllable supply of nitrogen on-site.

The nitrogen supply is used as part of a transfer mechanism to provide an inert blanket. Perhaps most importantly, the use of the NitroSource system has enabled Danone to blanket water storage vessels in order to prevent bug growth and hazardous chemicals for fire prevention

Danone is the leader in the beverage industry with worldwide brands such as Volvic and Evian along with UK brands including Green Valley as well as a new range of flavored beverages under the brand of Shape aimed at reinforcing the healthy lifestyle ethos which Danone promotes. The Brecon Hills manufacturing facility processes 18, 000 bottles per hour through the plant, with a six man team operating the machinery per shift.

The NitroSource system is based on Parker Hannifin's hollow fibre membrane technology, which separates air into nitrogen and an oxygen-enriched air stream. The system comprises a main unit that can be expanded with the addition of a further five subunits and, thanks to a master/slave feature, up to 11 main units and their associated subunits can be combined and controlled as if they were one.

Designed specifically for industry, Hyperchill is the new range of precision water chillers by Hiross.

The range covers cooling capacities from 2 to 360 kW. Each model is designed for safe and reliable operation, whatever the working conditions.

Industrial processes are very diverse by nature: consequently flexibility to satisfy all industrial applications is a main feature of Hyperchill.

Thanks to sophisticated technical solutions and an extensive range of accessories, Hyperchill operates continuously and efficiently whatever the conditions. All models standardly accept water inlet temperatures up to 30

At United Air Power we design and install energy efficient compressed air systems, from generation and treatment through to distribution and application in the workplace.
We can supply a full range of air compressors varying from 0.25 up to 670hp including oil free with diagnostic controls and cost-effective heat recovery options.

All our compressors incorporate advanced energy efficient motors which fully comply with the latest European guidelines and qualify for the Government

DH Series
DH Series - A Reliable and Efficient Heart
At the heart of the compressor is an innovative single screw compression element, featuring a single main rotor with 6 flutes meshing with a pair of 11 tooth gate rotors, that is proven in thousands of installations. 

Compression takes place in two chambers above and below the main rotor, as a result compression loads are balanced and bearing loads are significantly reduced. The low bearing loads extend compression element life and significantly reduce lifetime operating costs.

Water injected into the compression element provides lubrication, sealing and cooling. The superior cooling properties of water allows the compressor to operate at a low temperature providing near isothermal compression, low power consumption and class leading efficiency levels. A reverse osmosis membrane cartridge filters the injection water entering the compressor; as a result the water is always maintained at a high purity level.

The Zenith Rotary Screw air compressor is a brand new concept in air compressor design. The Zenith now offers smaller users of compressed air a product with the features and benefits of larger machines, designed for industrial applications.

Patented high efficiency air end, Reduced Power consumption, Standard safety features, Low maintenance costs, Continuous duty, Automatic control, Low noise  

Product Highlights

Low maintenance costs
Maintenance is simple and economical thanks to the design which allows immediate accessibility to all service components.

The all new range of domnick hunter OIL-X EVOLUTION aerosol and particulate removal filters redefine the standards in compressed air filter performance. All aspects of cartridge filter design have been considered with the sole purpose of providing compressed air to international quality standards whilst reducing the cost of ownership and the space envelope required for installation.

OIL-X EVOLUTION has been designed from the ground up with the key design focus concentrated in critical areas such as air flow management, filtration media selection & construction and the efficient removal of coalesced liquid.

OIL-X EVOLUTION has also been designed to be fully compliant with the forthcoming changes to the international standard detailing the method for filter testing.

Air Flow Management for Low Energy Consumption
The design of a compressed air filter housing is critical as it can directly affect system pressure losses, which in turn result in higher operating costs for the user. The pressure loss or pressure drop of a filter housing is a fixed ownership cost. Only through careful design, can this fixed cost be kept to an absolute minimum.

In an extension to our existing range, BEKO now offer an on-site air testing service. Using state of the art equipment, we are able to test for Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, water and oil content.

This service is particularly useful in breathing air applications, where a testing regime is required, but can also be useful to double check the performance of dryers and filtration in air used for other applications. We also offer dewpoint and Relative Humidity testing.

Detection parameters of EN12021 1998 are met or exceeded using our equipment, and we offer a nationwide service.

End users are becoming ever more aware of the requirement to regularly monitor air quality in order to comply with best practice. BEKO offer the air testing service to them, and also via our dealer network.

Please contact your BEKO Regional Sales Manager for more details.

BEKO BECOMES NEW EVERAIR ASSOCIATE 
 
Beko Technologies have recently become the joint largest shareholder in EverAir Technology GMBH. Pro-Air Engineering, a compressed air and systems provider in China and Taiwan with over 200 employees is also a partner in the deal. 

Based in Hilden, Germany, EverAir is a young and innovative company specialising in the development and construction of equipment used for compressed air and technical gas processing- in particular in the area of large adsorption dryers. 

EverAir is managed by Herbert Blauscheck and Frank Mueller, who between them have more than 50 years experience in the compressed air industry, latterly for many years working for Ultrafilter. With their expertise and experience Beko can claim to have access to the foremost authorities on adsorption drying in Germany, if not the whole of Europe.
