BEKOMAT - Leading the Condensate Drainage Technology

BEKOMAT have set the industrial standard on condensate autodrain drainage. With its high reliability, it offers energy-saving operation no loss of compressed air and designed to handle even the most oily condensate for all compressed air applications.

With BEKOMAT condensate autodrain energy saving in mind, it is a sure guarantee a fast payback.

BEKOMAT condensate drains have significant advantages over conventional float drain

• Bekomat are undeterred by heavy dirt, this means highly reliable operation round the clock
• Bekomat have built-in potential free contacts, indicating service attention via alarm or siren
• float drain has many mechanical parts and hinges which often fail
• float drain has small outlet orifice which often clogged by large sediments
• Bekomat need very minimal maintenance
• Bekomat have large cross-sections to prevent emulsification

Bekomat condensate drains have significant advantages over conventional timer drain

• Bekomat drain actual condensate quantity
• timer drains are virtually impossible to set optimum purging time and purging frequency
• time drains are often 'overclocked' by maintenance, long purging time and frequent purging rate to have the compressed air application free from condensate
• avoids loss of compressed air
• Built-in potential free contacts, indicating service attention via alarm or siren
• Bekomat have large cross-section value to prevent emulsification

Application:  Filter Housing, Air receiver tank, refrigerant dryer, aftercooler & desiccant dryer or absorption dryer etc.

Empty stage:

Condensates travel through the inlet(1) and collects in the reservoir(2) .  Air pressure travel along the patented pilot supply line(3)  and the solenoid valve(4)  making sure that valve diaphragm(5) remain shut. The larger surface area above the diaphragm results in a high closing force, so that the valve seat is tight and leak-proof.

Filling stage:

When the reservoir(2)  has filled with condensate and the capacitive level sensor(6)  reach the maximum pre-set value, the solenoid valve is energized, blocking the air pressure from valve diaphragm(5). The valve diaphragm lifts off from the valve seat(7), and the pressure in the reservoir forces the condensate into the outlet(8).  When the water level drop to minimum pre-set value, the solenoid will de-energize, valve diaphragm will shut the valve seat before precious compressed air can escaped.

Secrets of Bekomat Electronic autodrain's Engineering and Reliability                

All electronic parts are replaceable: solenoids, control board with capacitance sensor etc.

Capacitance sensor housing(A) - patented housing design  to protect the capacitance sensor, to  correctly measure water level even against the  most oily condensates. 

Better performance and more durable than  proximity sensor drains.

Strainer(B) is equipped on Bekomat 13 Electronic autodrain and larger models - a protection mechanism toward large scaling or object from clogging the Bekomat outlet.
