Valve leak detector

Automatic in-line in chain conveyor with valve opener/closer for screw valves

The electronically controlled valve leak detector VLD is an independent unit designed for in-line installation in a chain conveyor. This VLD is fully automatic and equipped with an infrared leak test head CIR-II and an automatic valve opener/closer for opening/closing screw valves before/after testing.

The test head performs a leak test (identifies the actual leak rate) on the cylinder valve and valve thread with MAKEEN Energy’s unique infrared leak test head CIR-II. The test result is compared to a preset permitted maximum leak rate according to applicable norm/legislation. This comparison decides whether the cylinder can be approved or rejected. The leak test is only possible if the cylinder contains gas.

  • MAKEEN Connect

    The unit is compatible with MAKEEN Energy's Industry 4.0 Digital Solution, which enables data capturing of the process for remote supervision, performance optimisation, and predictive/preventive maintenance alerts through e.g. a MAKEEN Energy cloud solution (optional).

Benefits

Maximum safety level

  • Fully automatic testing of all cylinders (eliminates human errors)
  • Fully automatic leak rate testing for periodic verification of the preset leak rate (optional)
  • More accurate, reliable, and consistent detection of leaks with the unique CIR-II test head
  • Maximum torque settings prevents over-tightening of screw valves
  • Maximum torque settings sort-out cylinders with over-tightened or jammed screw valves for correction

Maximum production uptime

  • Automatic predictive and preventive maintenance alerts with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution to avoid breakdowns (optional)
  • Automatic operation stops (e.g. low compressed air pressure) prevent process errors and assist in quick restarting
  • Quick adjustment to different cylinder sizes and valve types

Optimised production

  • Automatic valve opening and closing with screw valves for efficient operation
  • Remote supervision with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution for production optimisation
  • No incorrectly rejected cylinders (special air filter ensures carbon-free rinsing of the CIR-II test head before each test)
