Compressed Air/Compressors

In times of rising energy prices, huge amounts of money are wasted in leaks. Small leaks can make up a large part of the costs for compressed air. With the small and easily operable METPOINT LKD Leak detector the leaks in the system can be detected within a short time.

The METPOINT LKD detects the ultrasound, transforms it into an audible sound and indicates it optically. The METPOINT LKD operates with extreme reliability. As only those frequencies are detected which occur in the event of leakage, precise location of the leaks is ensured under all types of industrial noise conditions.

Open End To Atmosphere

At the recent Air-Tech exhibition at the N.E.C Birmingham, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES gave a presentation in the seminar area entitled “open end to atmosphere”.

 This presentation was an advice about the issues of having an air supply at say 7 bar (g) venting down to atmosphere without doing any useful work or work that cannot be done more economically or safely by another medium. (Read More)

Earlier this month BEKO TECHNOLOGIES held a training day for Mattei Compressors. It was held at the BEKO offices in Bromsgrove and included a buffet lunch with live demonstrations of their oil free products.

The day started with an introduction and overview of BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. Next was an oil free presentation given by Matt Harrison UK Sales manager where he explained the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods of achieving oil free air, including the BEKOKAT catalytic converter and also the METPOINT OCV constant analyser used to measure Air Quality to ISO 8571.1.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES service department can offer air quality tests to enable customers to know what the quality of the compressed air is that they are using. This can be in bodyshops, food packaging companies, automotive, pharmaceutical industry and many more.
From this BEKO TECHNOLOGIES can advise what, if necessary, the customer requires in the way of air treatment and filtration.
The BEKO Technologies air quality test, together with a written assessment report are tools that allow you to keep accurate records on your air quality.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES has appointed Stewart Draper as Regional Sales Manager for BEKO’s comprehensive range of compressed air equipment to cover the East Midlands. As the key point of contact for customers, manufacturers and distributors, he will be responsible for promoting sales by determining the specific needs of customers and overseeing existing sales within his territory.

At the recent Air-Tech exhibition BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, a market leader in compressed air treatment challenged visitors to the show to test their knowledge of compressed air quality to win an IPAD. The challenge was to identify compressed air quality at different points of a circuit. The overall winner, selected at random from the correct answers was Andy Jones of Mattei Compressors Ltd. Martin Potter, General Manager for BEKO TECHNOLOGIES UK awarded Andy with his well-earned prize.

As you can imagine the draw of winning an IPAD attracted many people to the stand all wanting the chance to win. The surprise was that with several hundred attempts to identify the correct answers there were actually only around 15 correct responses. This does go some way to highlight the skills gap we have with compressed air knowledge. Outside of electricity, compressed air is the second highest energy consumer. A lack of knowledge here is costing the industry additional energy costs and an area that needs to be looked at closely.
