 | | TESEO AIRLINE SYSTEM CAN BE DRILLED UNDER PRESSURE | | | Teseo UK | | 26/08/2008 | | | When you want to expand your TESEO modular aluminium pipeline system, there is no need to turn off the compressor, shutting down all other work stations and losing all the pressure in the network; you simply drill a hole in the pipeline and add the new connector, clip on the secondary flexible line or new drop column and you are in action immediately. No loss of pressure, no down time for the rest of the plant and an instant delivery for a new workstation.
How is it done? “It’s part of the TESEO magic formula!” says Sean Connolly, sales manager of TESEO UK. “To open a new air point on an established system under full pressure simply fix the outlet plate where you want it on the pipe run, screw in a ball valve to the outlet plate, screw the special TESEO drilling jig to the ball valve, open the ball valve to allow the drill bit through and drill the aluminium extrusion piping. Swarf is collected in the drilling jig. Remove the drill bit and shut the ball valve, remove the drilling jig, couple up your additional airline to the ball valve and hey presto, an instant new air point installed in a “live” pipeline under pressure.”
A new larger DT drilling jig has just been introduced by TESEO, which allows use of a 19mm drill bit, the correct bore size for an outlet plate that carries 3/4inch treaded connectors. In addition a new outlet plate with 11/4 inch thread is now available for use with the HBS 80 and 110 pipeline profiles.
The heart of the TESEO modular aluminium pipeline system is the HBS – Hollow Bar System – extruded aluminium profiles: inside is circular tubing whilst the outside box section has flat faces and grooves. The connections are made of die-cast aluminium with O-ring seals. Connections are fastened to the profiles by means of locking plates that grip into the grooves and clamped together with Allen screws.
TESEO modular aluminium pipeline system is quick and easy to install without special tools and by unskilled labour. | |
