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%.
Cooling for blow moulding to be demonstrated
On September 19 and 20, Beko Technologies Ltd will be hosting a Bekoblizz Workshop for the plastics industry at Polymer Training in Telford, Shropshire.
It detects leaks, which generate a high-frequency ultrasound, through a microphone that the operator trains on any area where a leak may be present.
If a leak is present the device gives an audio alarm via headphones, and also a visual indication on an integral display.
The Beko Leak Detector can detect every leak, even at long distances of up to 15m.
It can also detect leaks in places that are not easily accessible.
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 factory environment.
The Beko Leak Detector is extremely easy to use.
Beko point to recent figures that show up to 25-30%, or even 50% in extreme cases, of compressed air is wasted in a typical industrial installation.
The British Compressed Air Society recommends a regular programme of leak checking throughout the compressed air system.
Once a leak is detected it can be repaired by a qualified engineer.
The reaction from the German market is exceptionally positive.
Due to the success of the Beko Leak Detector there, it is now being offered worldwide.
The successful introduction confirms the strategic decision of Beko Technologies under the heading 'Measurement Technologies' to build up additional ranges of efficiency raising and energy saving products for air transport and processing.
Beko is already an established force in compressed air and condensate treatment.
