Bekomat

Bekomat is a renowned brand fully dedicated to the development and production of intelligent condensate drainage systems for compressed air and gas compression installations. The name Bekomat is inseparably linked to loss-free condensate management in industry. The Bekomat condensate drainage system works on the basis of conductivity measurement, enabling loss-free condensate discharge (without compressed air losses) from compressor aftercoolers, compressed air reservoirs, filters, drying installations and line dryers.

The Bekomat product program includes an extensive range of electronically controlled condensate drains for use in compressed air and gas installations with pressures from 0.8 to 64 bar. The Bekomat series is available in versions for standard use (Bekomat 12, 13, 16, 20), for high-pressure applications (Bekomat 12 PN63, Bekomat 16), for corrosive condensates (Bekomat 12 CO) and for special applications with high condensate volumes.

The operating principle of the Bekomat is revolutionarily simple: the conductivity sensor detects the condensate level in the drain. When the condensate reaches the sensor, a solenoid valve opens and the condensate is discharged. When the condensate level drops to the minimum level, the valve closes. This system guarantees that compressed air is never lost through the condensate drain, resulting in significant energy savings compared to conventional timer-controlled drains.

Verkopershulp.nl supplies the complete Bekomat range, including standard condensate drains (Bekomat 12, 13, 16, 20), high-pressure versions (PN63), CO versions for corrosive media, electronic test sets, replacement valve sets and electrical connection materials. Most versions are directly available from our European stock for fast delivery to compressor manufacturers, installers and maintenance companies.

In addition to electronic condensate drains, Bekomat also supplies manual and float-ball condensate drains for simpler applications. Bekomat also offers condensate treatment systems (oil-water separators) for the environmentally friendly processing of the discharged oily condensate in accordance with environmental legislation.

History

Bekomat is part of the BEKO Technologies group, a German company that has specialized for decades in compressed air treatment and condensate management. The Bekomat drain was developed in response to the large energy losses that occur with conventional timer-controlled condensate drains, which continuously blow off compressed air even at low condensate production. Through the revolutionary conductivity principle, Bekomat has set the industry standard for loss-free condensate management. Today, millions of Bekomat drains are installed in compressed air installations worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Bekomat condensate drainage system work?
The Bekomat works on the basis of conductivity measurement. A conductivity sensor in the drain detects the presence of aqueous condensate. As soon as the condensate level reaches the sensor, a solenoid valve opens and the condensate is discharged. When the level drops below the sensor, the valve closes immediately. This ensures loss-free condensate drainage without compressed air losses, unlike timer-controlled drains that unnecessarily blow off compressed air.
Which Bekomat version is suitable for my compressed air installation?
The Bekomat choice depends on the working pressure of your compressed air installation, the condensate volume and the installation location. Bekomat 12 is suitable for pressures up to 16 bar (standard). Bekomat 12 PN63 for pressures up to 63 bar. Bekomat 16 and 20 are suitable for higher condensate volumes in large compressors. Verkopershulp.nl advises on the correct Bekomat version for your installation.
What is the energy advantage of a Bekomat compared to a timer-controlled drain?
Timer-controlled condensate drains also blow off compressed air when there is little or no condensate present. With a 7.5 kW compressor, a leaking or incorrectly set timer drain can waste up to €2,000-3,000 in energy costs per year. The Bekomat never blows off unnecessary compressed air and saves significant energy costs. The investment in a Bekomat typically pays back within 6-18 months.
How often should Bekomat drains be maintained?
Bekomat recommends annual maintenance for the drains, consisting of inspection of the solenoid valve and replacement of the seals (valve set). Verkopershulp.nl supplies original Bekomat valve sets (XEKA series) and maintenance sets for all Bekomat models. Regular maintenance is essential for the warranty and reliable operation of the drain.
Are Bekomat drains suitable for use with oil-free compressors?
Yes, Bekomat drains work on the basis of conductivity measurement of the aqueous condensate and are suitable for use with both oil-lubricated and oil-free compressors. With oil-free compressors, the condensate is pure water with low conductivity. Specific Bekomat versions are optimized for low-conductivity condensate. Verkopershulp.nl advises on the correct version for your compressor type.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also supply Bekomat valve sets for preventive maintenance?
Yes, Verkopershulp.nl supplies original Bekomat valve sets (XEKA series wear parts) for all Bekomat models, including Bekomat 12, 13, 16, 20 and the high-pressure versions. The valve sets contain all necessary seals and parts for a complete overhaul of the drain. Provide the Bekomat model number for the correct valve set.
What is the difference between the Bekomat 12 and Bekomat 12 CO versions?
The Bekomat 12 is the standard version for use with normal compressed air condensate (water-oil mixture). The Bekomat 12 CO (Condensate-Only) is specially designed for installations where corrosive condensate is produced, such as with compressors working with aggressive gases or where the condensate has special chemical properties. The CO version has special corrosion-resistant materials in the valve and housing.
