The electronically level-controlled condensate drain
Where there is compressed air, there is condensate. It usually contains oil, is contaminated with dirt particles and spreads throughout the compressed air network. The removal of condensate is therefore one of the key purposes of compressed air treatment. We help you to remove condensate from the compressed air and to achieve the optimum quality for your application: with the BEKOMAT. And we are the specialists – as the millions of BEKOMAT condensate drains are in operation worldwide demonstrate. BEKOMAT the first electronically level-controlled condensate drain and a synonym for expert condensate drainage.
How does the condensate drain work?
The BEKOMAT® is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain used for draining off condensate in compressed air systems. The condensate formed is collected in the BEKOMAT® and the filling level is monitored by an integrated capacitive sensor. When the defined filling level is reached, the condensate is discharged via a pilot-controlled solenoid valve. When the defined filling level is reached, only the condensate is automatically discharged without losing valuable compressed air.
Condensate drain without pressure loss
Benefits
If a float drain leaks, then high costs arise as a result of leaks. Time-controlled solenoid valves also cause compressed air losses. During the valve opening, expensively generated compressed unused compressed air escapes into the environment. In contrast a level-controlled condensate drain guarantees discharge without any compressed air loss i.e. also energy loss. This not only saves energy and costs, but also CO2 emissions.
The standard design is made in corrosion-resistant aluminium, which makes the BEKOMAT particularly reliable and robust. A silver-coloured coating protects the outside of the housing. The BEKOMAT CO models are predestined for operating with oil-free or aggressive condensates. Their housing is additionally, completely glass bead blasted and protected by a high-quality hard coating.
Condensate drains with service concept – quick and service-friendly
The innovative design of the BEKOMAT 31U, 32U, 33U and 33U CO series enables simplified handling as well as installation and maintenance with minimum time expenditure. The BEKOMAT consist of no more than three units joined together with quick-release connectors. The electronic control and sensor units are only installed once, only the service unit (including all wear and pressure parts) needs to be exchanged for maintenance purposes. This robust condensate drain is suitable for both oil-contaminated and oil-free, condensates.
Condensate drains for special requirements
Based on our decades of experience, we have developed and implemented numerous additional functions for special requirements for our customers in a wide variety of industries, following on from on the classic advantages of the BEKOMAT. These have proved themselves in a wide variety of application areas – you can also now benefit from our unique know-how.
