More and more often, industrial applications expect mobility and flexibility from compressed-air processing. For example for the employment at different sites or outdoors. A solution to that is the installation of complete compressed-air stations in transportable sea containers. These mobile performance centres make special demands on the technology applied, in particular as far as compressed-air drying is concerned.

A company which recognised the growing need for mobile compressed-air stations particularly early is Karl Uhl GmbH in Bochum, Germany. For 80 years now already, the experts from the Ruhr area have operated as wholesalers and service providers of compressed-air technology.

In practice noise date are not always consistent. Noise at machines can stem from unknown sources. It is important to know what noise levels can be found in the system and what causes them. PRUFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring performs acceptance measurements of noise emissions and compares the results with the latest standards. If necessary, suitable measures for noise reduction are identified and recommended. Measurements are made with the data analyzer VIBXPERT and evaluated with DBSpectra and the software OMNITREND. Dominant noise sources can be identified using third octave or narrow band spectra.
 

“Achievable noise reductions, e.g. in gear drives, can be up to 5 dB: through measures on housings, up to 7 dB: through measures on rotors, toothing and housings and up to 10 dB: through secondary noise shields or enclosures” says Dr. Edwin Becker, Manager Service and Diagnostic Center.

Entry-level data collector

VIBROTIP is an extremely rugged and easy-to-use
hand-held data collector for five key indicators of machine condition. All sensors are built in, with no cumbersome cables or fragile plugs.

VIBCODE (optional) can be used to eliminate mixups of measurement location and type, and OMNITREND PC software automatically archives trend data, issues warnings and alarms and programs VIBROTIP with all desired measurements.

Intrinsically safe data collector

For monitoring and diagnosing machine conditions in the chemical industry, in refineries, in the oil and gas industry and in any other potentially explosive environment that requires intrinsically safe measuring systems.

 

Technical Specifications

The DC 1800 EX is suitable for general cleaning and source extraction. The DC 1800 is small and lightweight, therefore suitable for those that need a highly portable machine that still is powerful enough for source extraction. With its low weight it is easy to carry onto the job site and it can be easily stored or rolled under a workbench.

The DC 1800 is equipped with a steel container and a plastic bag can be used inside the container. It is equipped with a brushless motor (for spark-free operation) and is certified to IP5X standard.
