Location is half the battle

Leakage and pressure loss-free piping systems

Leaks in compressed air systems are not only annoying, they also cause permanent unnecessary costs. Even with well-maintained compressed air networks, 15 to 40 percent of the air is lost. This not only means a financial loss, but also puts a strain on compressed air production. This is where leakage measures come into play – they not only save money, but also serve as preventive maintenance.

Leaks can be found in every area of the compressed air network, but especially at the beginning of the network. Leaking plug-in couplings, hoses, fittings and defective tools are the main causes of air loss. Replacing such components can provide significant energy savings. But older piping systems also pose risks. Leaks that occur unnoticed drive up compressed air consumption and thus energy costs. Professional leak detection can help here.

Did you know that a pipeline that is too small can cause significant pressure losses? A bar higher duck means 10 percent more energy consumption.

FILCOM GmbH offers efficient leak detection using the latest ultrasonic measurement technology. Our experienced service technicians analyze and evaluate the compressed air system, determine the savings potential and carry out the location during operation – without switching off the compressed air system. Leaks found are described in detail and concrete measures can be taken during the location. FILCOM GmbH also offers comprehensive advice and support in the sustainable elimination of leaks. Locate and eliminate leaks – for an efficient and cost-saving future!
