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.
Having built-up a reputation for high performance, energy efficient products, Hi-line Industries Ltd now also confirm that prices for their range of air treatment products will be held unchanged for the 4th consecutive year.

Virtually all manufacturing industry uses compressed air. There are some industries however where the quality of the compressed air is critical.
The chemical and process industry being one such sector. There are too many processes to mention but to name a few, agitation and aeration blending of liquids, process instrumentation, pneumatic conveying and operation of devices where a spark may be dangerous. These are all examples of the reasons to use high quality, clean dry, oil free air.
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES theme for the Airtech Exhibition 2014 will be “solutions capability”. The company specialises in compressed air, gas and condensate conditioning and there will be a working demonstration of some of the key products for monitoring and saving energy within a compressed air system. There will be a challenge to visitors to the stand to use the solutions technology and to test their knowledge of compressed air purity. There will be a lucky person who will receive an iPad 16GB Wi-Fi chosen from all those who are successful at the challenge.
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have extended the product range significantly in the last few years notably by the addition of the EVERDRY range of “tailored” desiccant dryers, measurement technology with the flagship product METPOINT OCV being the best way to continuously monitor remaining oil vapour content. In the second quarter of 2014 a new product called METPOINT MMA will be launched. This product will monitor and record the limit values of O2, S O2, CO, Oxides of Nitrogen, H2O vapour and pressure in bars.
E2S adds SIL 2 compatibility to its horn and strobe families
Safety Integrity Level, SIL, is a measure of safety system performance expressed in terms of probability of failure on demand (PFD). In the oil and gas industry, particularly in the fire and gas detection systems where safety integrity is critical, SIL 2 is becoming a common standard across systems. To meet the growing demand in the oil & gas industry, E2S Warning Signals, the leading independent audible and visible warning device manufacturer, (Read More)
New iWAP107 - Releasing Wi-FI efficiency in Hazardous Area
The new iWAP107 system allows the latest MIMO Access Points from market leaders such as Cisco and Aruba to be easily deployed in Zone 1 hazardous areas, improving wireless performance and reliability.
