The 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

Until 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.

Expansion coldness results from quickly-expanding compressed air. This can lead to icing of valves and controllers, impairing the process reliability and profitability of compressed-air plants.

With the new Clearpoint compressed-air heater, the temperature of the leaving compressed-air can be adjusted between 30

Until 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

As 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.

One 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.

BEKO reacts to the increasing demand for refrigeration dryers from industrial regions in the world

With the considerably extended and refined range of Clearpoint V activated carbon adsorbers, compressed-air specialist Beko Technologies now reinforces the system concept of integrated compressed-air processing.As guarantors for an extremely high compressed-air quality with a maximum residual-oil content of only 0.003 mg/m
