Automatic condensate drain Bekomat 31 U BEKOMAT 31 U

Automatic condensate drain – effective removal of moisture from pneumatic systems

This automatic condensate drain, known as Bekomat 31 U, is a reliable solution for removing condensate from compressed air systems. The device combines precision, minimization of air loss, and ease of maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users. Designed to work with oily and oil-free condensate, it provides effective protection of the installation against corrosion and damage caused by moisture.

Construction and operating principle

Bekomat 31 U uses an advanced capacitive sensor to monitor the condensate level. Intelligent electronics control the valve, opening it only when the accumulated amount of condensate reaches an appropriate level. This avoids the loss of valuable compressed air, which occurs in traditional timed drains. The device's design has been carefully thought out in terms of ease of maintenance – replacement of expendable parts is quick and tool-free thanks to the integrated service unit. The device is adapted to work in a wide range of pressures (0.8 – 16 bar) and temperatures (1-60°C), which ensures its versatility and reliability in various working conditions.

Key advantages and applications

• Lossless condensate drainage: The capacitive sensor guarantees condensate drainage only when necessary, minimizing compressed air losses and reducing energy costs.
• Versatility: Works well in installations with both oily and oil-free condensate.
• Easy maintenance: Replacement of expendable parts is quick and tool-free thanks to the integrated service unit.
• Wide range of working pressures: Can be used in various pneumatic systems (0.8 - 16 bar).
• Application: Ideal for use in:
  • after pressure tanks
  • after refrigeration dryers
  • after air filters
  • in pneumatic systems
  • in cyclone separators

The device is characterized by a performance that allows it to cooperate with compressors with a capacity of up to 2.5 m³/min and refrigeration dryers with a capacity of up to 5 m³/min and filters up to 25 m³/min. Thanks to its reliability and efficiency, Bekomat 31 U is an investment that quickly pays for itself by reducing energy costs and minimizing downtime related to failures caused by moisture in the pneumatic installation.
