Editorial

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES are pleased to announce that from 1st January 2015 we are offering an extended 5 year warranty as standard with the DRYPOINT RA refrigeration dryers. In addition to this we will not be increasing our prices on the dryers this year.

We believe that our DRYPOINT RA refrigeration dryers are reliable, perform well to different specifications and are easy to maintain via good information from the control system, and also give customers the lowest cost of ownership. They are also environmentally friendly with the R407C refrigerant which has significantly lower GWP ( Global Warming Potential) and are low in energy consumption.

With a data logger which was specifically developed for the employment in compressed-air plants BEKO Technologies extends its METPOINT® measurement equipment family. The new device boasts a multitude of application-specific capabilities, stretching from the number of connectable transducers to software specifically for the analysis of compressed-air processing.

The METPOINT® BDL data logger allows for the connection of up to eight or even 12 transducers or sensors, depending on the model. With this capacity the new device distances itself from standard data loggers which, in most cases, do not allow for such an option.

Sensors combined in a user-defined manner can be assigned to the numerous connections of the METPOINT® BDL. With pressure transducers, for example, or with pressure dew point transmit-ters, volume-flow sensors, temperature sensors, clip-on ammeters, etc. 32 limit values on the whole can be freely defined and assigned to four different alarm relays. An automatic early warning guarantees the utmost precision and process safety. At the device, the measured values are indicated on a 7" colour display with a zoomable touch panel.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES introduced the METPOINT BDL data logger, Now it´s little brother“, the METPOINT BDL compact, is released.

The METPOINT® BDL compact data logger allows for the connection of 2 - 4 transducers or sensors in a user-defined manner. With pressure transducers, for example, or with pressure dew point transmitters, volume-flow sensors, temperature sensors, clip-on ammeters, etc. Four limit values on the whole can be freely defined and assigned to two different alarm relays.

At the device, the measured values are indicated on a 3.5" colour display with a zoomable touch panel. It allows for tabular, graphic, and combined presentations. Saving potentials become transparent via daily, weekly, and monthly reports. Any exceeded limits are highlighted in red. An early detection of deviation from set parameters secures highest precision and process safety.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES announces the launch of its own official YouTube Channel. This channel showcases videos about our company and about the products from our compressed air treatment and compressed air measurement portfolio. We are excited that we now feature a leading social media platform in our company communication. Viewers are invited to give us their feedback in the comments.

An important contribution to the environment - recycling service-units of BM31U / BM32U / BM33U

BEKOMAT is by far the most successful electronic level controlled condensate series - and that for a good reason. It represents the benchmark for all global competitors. This does not only apply to the reliability. In particular, the sustainability aspects throughout the entire life cycle are world leading:

Design: All wearing parts are housed in a service-unit. The replacement requires only 10% of the time that would be required for a device in which the items would have to be replaced individually. The service-unit is 100% pressure and functionally tested. Effectively, after each service-unit change you have a new unit! This saves personnel resources, reduces downtimes to a minimum and increases reliability.

METPOINT® OCV makes the quality of compressed air visible METPOINT OCV offers precision measurement technology for all industrial sectors, where compressed air plays an important part in the production process and realtime monitoring of compressed air quality is process critical.

Even "oil-free" components are no guarantor for "oil-free" compressed air, ambient air/ intake air have a big impact on achieving oil free air.  In most cases, a certain residual oil content cannot be entirely avoided in standard applications.

Measurement technology makes the purity of compressed air visible and points out the optimisation potentials in the system. The measurement instrumentation from BEKO TECH-NOLOGIES provides  a reliable data base for the assessment and assurance of the compressed-air quality and for the identification of hidden cost drivers.

The METPOINT sensor technology continuously records all the relevant parameters at the critical control points of compressed air – reliably and precisely. The proper means in order to implement energy management, for example in accordance with ISO 50001, or to meet the demanding HACCP or GMP requirements.

A cost effective solution to achieve oil-free compressed air

A constant supply of oil-free compressed air with a barely detectable max. residual oil content of 0.001 milligram per cubic metre – this is what the new catalyst system from compressed air specialist BEKO TECHNOLOGIES Ltd is able to deliver.
    
With this high level of efficiency, the BEKOKAT devices can even sail past the stringent oil content stipulations of ISO 8573-1, class 1. At the same time, the new functional principle breaks down technical and economic barriers that are usually imposed on conventional compressed air treatment, especially when it involves applications with extremely high requirements.

There are three main standards currently in use which directly relate to the purity of the compressed air quality and testing requirements for industry.

These are:
ISO8573 Series / ISO12500 Series / ISO7183

The most commonly used standard is the ISO8573 Series and in particular ISO8573-1:2010.

The compressed air quality standard ISO8573 –

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have just made a donation of £200 to Joe Spires who will be leaving in a couple of months for a 3 month placement on a development programme in South Africa. This is part of the International Citizen Service programme (ICS), the aim of the ICS is to tackle poverty worldwide by solving the problems which cause it. He will be leaving late September and will be staying in Botswana, Lesotho or Capetown. Joe will be staying with a host family which could be in a mud hut or a house and he will be paired with an english speaking local volunteer.
