Plastics mould cooling times reduced
Beko Technologies's Bekoblizz system uses precisely controlled dry compressed air to reduce plastics mould cooling times, increasing the production rate by up to 30%.
It detects the leaks through a microphone that the operator trains on any area where a leak may be.
If a leak is present the device gives an audio and visual alarm.
Sensitivity can be adjusted to allow even very small leaks to be located.
A memory function shows the highest measured value so works managers can prioritise their system maintenance.
Headphones are included to allow audio detection within a noisy environment.
Beko point to recent figures that show up to 25% of compressed air is wasted in a typical industrial installation and recommend a regular programme of leak checking throughout the compressed air system.
Once a leak is detected it can be repaired by a qualified engineer.
Accessories for the detector include a leather case, water resistant microphones, bendable needle microphones to access small and hard to reach areas, magnets and an ultrasonic sender.
Operating temperature is from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. Request a free brochure from Beko Technologies ...
