Information for Editors: BEKO Technologies Limited is based in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. We supply the full package for compressed air and condensate treatment. BEKO stands for compressed air technology “at its best”. For more than two decades, BEKO has developed, manufactured and sold high-quality, reliable and efficient components and systems for compressed air processing and condensate technology. Now, BEKO offers a complete program for all tasks related to the transport and processing of compressed air.
Expert advice and a qualified service are a trademark of the company. BEKO offer an unrivalled expertise in the whole spectrum of managing compressed air and condensate.
Energy costs are high and set to go even higher. The beleaguered factory manager has to try to mitigate the impact of this together with all the other issues of the day that face him or her. Most companies addressed the problem that given 3 compressors 1 was just feeding the leaks in a campaign style activity…end of story…no sadly the leaks will come back or occur in other locations for a variety of reasons such as airline contamination, lack of maintenance just to mention a couple of the many.
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES decided the companies would increasingly want to measure key parameters in their compressed air or gas streams. The only way to manage is to measure is a mantra that is commonly used in businesses. Compressed air for many years was poor relations because almost everyone thought that compressed air was “free” or low cost so what was the point of investing in measuring something that didn’t impact on the efficiency
and bottom line of a business. There have been solutions out there for many years to measure compressed air flow and indeed very reputable and impartial companies who would come along and measure flow using turbine flow meters and expensive technical personnel.
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES launched a range of measuring devices under the family name “METPOINT” and have been successful in selling surveys and the meters to measure, dewpoint, pressure, flow and even remaining oil vapour content. Today we are pleased to announce the availability of a compact flow sensor from BEKO. The advantages of such a device are that the price point means that more locations can be monitored. The device measures flow, total consumption and velocity. This means that exact costs can be attributed to individual pipe feeds into a process. It also helps with another aspect of energy saving in that pressure drop is a result of velocities being too high and now this can be monitored again in more locations.
The new METPOINT FLM compact sensors have the connectivity that is expected today but also can be installed stand alone with built in measuring section.
From the diagram it can be seen that the power supply and the traditional display unit are not required but equally can be incorporated again helping to keep the price down. BEKO Technologies believe that this product will bring measurement and control to companies who previously believed that “Yes it would be good to have but it is an expensive and complicated system” Well not any more!
