Checking equipment
The manually operated valve leak detector is an independent unit designed for stand-alone installation.
The VLD is semi-automatic (manual connection) and 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, and the result is indicated on the HMI/controller MUC. 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
- More accurate, reliable, and consistent detection of leaks with the unique CIR-II test head
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
- Remote supervision with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution for production optimisation
