BEKOMAT AUTO DRAIN VALVE

The electronically level-controlled condensate drain
Condensation occurs at virtually every point along the compressed air treatment process. In most cases, it contains oil and dirt particles that should not enter the compressed air system. We help you remove condensate from your compressed air and achieve the optimum quality for your application: with the BEKOMAT. The electronic level controlled condensate drain has become synonymous with efficient condensate discharge. Volume-controlled and with intelligent electronics to prevent compressed air losses, it minimises energy expenditure and costs. This is not only our view but that of many renowned compressor manufacturers who recommend the BEKOMAT  as they regard it as the safest and most economical condensate discharge unit currently available on the market.

The condensate discharge requirements are ultimately determined by the purpose for which the treated compressed air is used. We aim at offering our customers optimised solutions for their specific applications. With our comprehensive range of condensate drains, we cater for virtually all compressor types and performance levels, system pressures and operating conditions – including of course highly specialised applications.

How does the condensate drain work?
The BEKOMAT drains off condensate without loss of compressed air, thus reducing energy costs and CO2 emissions. This is made possible by the integrated capacitive sensor, smart electronics for level-controlled condensate discharge and a proven pilot controlled solenoid valve with a special diaphragm.

Cost-effective and reliable: BEKOMAT  standard drains
The BEKOMAT range provides the 12, 13, 14 and 16 standard drains for virtually every application, which are not just the correct solution, rather more also the most suitable low-energy solution. The integrated capacitive sensor for level-controlled condensate discharge helps save energy and enhances efficiency – which is what you would expect from BEKOMAT.

Unnecessary costs and damages during the compressed air generation can only be efficiently prevented with level-controlled condensate discharge. The BEKOMAT condensate drain therefore functions with a capacitive sensor. The intelligent electronics prevent compressed air losses and minimise energy consumption. Due to this the electronically controlled condensate drainage often pays for itself within half a year compared to units with time-controlled drain valves.

Condensate discharge without compressed air loss
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 air escapes unused 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.

Robust and reliable
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.

BEKOMAT 20 | 20FM for filters and water separators
The BEKOMAT 20 FM with integrated filter management (filter status time display and filter status control) is a cost-effective monitoring solution for the connected filter element. It is designed as a robust condensate drain for water separators, filters or similar applications and can be used both in systems with oil-lubricated as well as with oil-free compressors.

The plastic housing of the BEKOMAT 20 FM is equipped with an internal aluminium condensate container. The front panel is visible and can be operated from the top and the front.

Condensate drains with service concept – quick and economic
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 devices consist of no more than three units joined together with quick-release connectors. The 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, aggressive condensates.

Comfortable and simplified maintenance
A service indicator informs punctually about the upcoming maintenance and/or exchange for the service unit. All parts which are subject to wear or are pressurised can be reached with one manual movement.
