Make a compressedair resolutionIf a compressed air user wants to make aNew Year’s resolution, BEKOTECHNOLOGIES advise to focus on onesimple area.The area that would come to mind formost engineers would be leaks. Without ameasure of how much leakage there iscurrently, effort could be wasted on adiminishing returns basis. Get a percentageof how much air is leaking – checking howmuch air a compressor will provide when thefactory is off line is the simplest way.What is acceptable as a percentage? This is a difficult question to answer because waste shouldbe stopped but if it costs more to stop than the saving then it is pointless. Many systems have morethan 10% leakage and this would be a significant sum when costed. The answer is to havescheduled ultrasonic leak testing on a basis determined by results.This is one of many energy saving services that BEKO TECHNOLOGIES provide.Food & Drink International 5www.fdiforum.netHosokawa Micron Powdersdeliver added valueChoosing the right toll processing partner canmake all the difference in satisfying fluctuatingdemands or developing new products.
