Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech 2016 attract biggest visitor numbers to date

26 April, 2016

To take advantage of the free scheme, owners need to ensure that their compressors are installed and serviced by an authorised Hydrovane service provider, to keep the equipment properly maintained in line with the service schedule and use genuine Hydrovane parts and lubricants.

The new CompAir L160, L200, L250 and the L290 models, promoted on the company’s stand at Air-Tech, are available in both fixed and speed-regulated options and are capable of delivering reliable and efficient compressed air, with pressures ranging from 7.5 bar to 13 bar, to suit a wide variety of industrial applications. Also displayed at the show was the Hydrovane Air Solution combining a rotary vane compressor with a range of ancillary equipment including an air receiver, dryer and in-line filtration in a fully integrated package.

Hertz Kompressoren

Among its wide portfolio of rotary screw and reciprocating air compressors, and compressed air dryers and filters, Hertz Kompressoren promoted its state-of-the-art hot water heat recovery unit at Air-Tech. A heat exchanger is installed in the hot oil line in the compressor, and heating water is then heated by this hot compressor oil. Hertz Kompressoren comments that the system is not complicated and the cost of initial investment is not expensive. The company adds that saving heat energy can realise that cost within one year of operation.

Huba Control

Huba Control displayed the recently launched Type 679 volume and flow pressure transmitters for air and neutral gases. With sensors developed for each pressure range, the Type 679 transmitter provides an accurate and stable output that allows the detection of a volumetric flow with a differential pressure measurement across measuring orifice, fan filter. With the built-in 2 line/8 digit alphanumeric LCD display it is possible to display the flow velocity.

Also recently launched is the Type 558 relative and absolute pressure transmitter mobile applications and the Type 550 relative pressure transmitter for mobile hydraulic applications a suited for use in the harshest conditions.

Mattei

One of the key features on Mattei’s stand at Air-Tech was the new ultra-high performance Maxima Xtreme 75kW rotary vane compressor. With fluid dynamic optimisation, a new sprayed oil injection system, plus a specially designed high-performance lubricant, the Maxima Xtreme guarantees ultra-high performance and a specific energy efficiency of just 5.2kW/m³/min.

Visitors to stand also had the opportunity to view Mattei’s Blade series of compressors, including the newly launched 15, 18 and 22kW models. These recent extensions to the range are ideal for applications requiring a reliable, high-quality compressed air supply of between 95 and 132cfm, whilst the Blade 1.5, 2.2 and 3kW models (5.6 – 11.3cfm) are suited to smaller workspaces and workshops. Sitting between these, the Blade 4-11 models offer 22-60cfm of high-quality air.

Additionally, visitors to the stand saw Mattei’s energy saving Xpander prototype, which converts waste heat into electrical energy. Designed to work with air compressors of 50-100kW, the Xpander recovers heat from hot compressor oil, which is ordinarily cooled by a fan, and converts it into electrical power.

Prevost

One of the main features on Prevost’s stand at Air-Tech was the AMPS aluminium profile connection system for the installation of compressed air distribution networks. AMPS uses a specific aluminium profile whose geometry has been developed to ensure the distribution of compressed air. Approved and certified by the German certification organisation, TUV, AMPS offers the assurance of a reliable and approve system. Assembly and installation is performed without the need for preparation for specific tools. The profile is cut to the desired length and directly assembled with the appropriate couplings.

Also featured on the stand were Prevo S1 compact compressed air blow guns with integrated plug. These blowguns, equipped with Prevost plugs, are compatible with all major connection profile standards. The plugs couple directly to the Prevo S1 quick safety coupling, which also optimises the blowguns’ ergonomics.

Red Dragon

One of the highlights on the Red Dragon Valves stand at Air-Tech was the CS-iTEC range of air/gas measurement solutions. For example, the S630 ATMOmed medical compressed air monitor is a simple and reliable control option for pharmacists. It features an automatic alarm in case of over-/undershooting defined limits, has a 5-inch colour touchscreen display and is capable of integration into monitoring systems (RS 485, Ethernet). This plug-and-play system can provide 365/24 monitoring and documenting the purity of medical compressed air. It comes in a ready to go cabinet designed to fit the customer’s needs without the need to make any major changes to an existing system. The S630 ATMOmed monitors impurities in the compressed air system as they are defined by the European Pharmacopoeia and ISO 7396-1.

Reg Dragon Valves also introduced the S600 portable compressed air purity analyser, which will soon be available through the company. The S600 is an all in one solution for measuring particle contamination oil vapour and dew point as stated in ISO-8573. The integrated dew point measurement system contains different sensor technologies to match a dew point range from -100degC to +20degC dew point at a high accuracy with long-term stable measurement results.
