Detect leaks and save costs
with WEICON Leak Detection Sprays
Compressed air and gas pipelines should be checked for leaks and tightness at regular intervals. Escaping gas is a high safety risk, and escaping compressed air means high energy costs. WEICON Leak Detection Sprays help to check gas and compressed air lines and detect leaks, which can save a lot of energy. This not only contributes to sustainable operational processes, but also helps to reduce costs and improve the ecological footprint.
The WEICON Leak Detection Spray Frost-Proof is perfect for use in refrigerated warehouses, air conditioning systems, climate zones with cold weather conditions, industrial refrigeration systems and wherever traditional leak detection agents may lose their efficiency due to the temperatures. The viscous formulation of the spray ensures strong adhesion and prevents immediate dripping, which is especially convenient on vertical surfaces.
Thanks to the rapid detection of leaks in air conditioning systems or similar systems, the leak detectors help to save a considerable amount of coolant.
Dye penetrant testing
with WEICON Crack Testing Agent
As part of regular maintenance, some materials must be subjected to non-destructive material testing. This includes, for example, the forks of a forklift truck or other metal parts that are exposed to high loads. The inspection of microcracks also plays a decisive role in quality assurance during the production process in systems engineering. When servicing trailers, a thorough check of the bracket for cracks enables a reliable and safe repair.
These maintenance measures serve to enhance operational processes and to maximise occupational health and safety. Dye penetrant testing is an established material testing method for detecting and eliminating cracks and small leaks at an early stage. WEICON Crack Testing Agent is a test system made up of three special sprays with which the dye penetrant method can be carried out simply and easily.
Repairing damaged pipes and pipelines
with WEICON Pipe Repair-Kit
Damaged water pipes need to be repaired as fast as possible. The WEICON Pipe Repair-Kit provides an easy solution for such emergency repairs, for which no special tools are required. The Pipe Repair-Kit can be used to repair and seal leaks in pipes and pipelines extremely fast in order to minimise downtimes. The set includes a Repair Tape, the Repair Stick Multi-Purpose and a pair of gloves to be worn during application.
Touch-up work and repairs
with WEICON Repair Sticks
WEICON Repair Sticks are the perfect helpers for maintenance work, repairing machines and maintaining operational facilities. The 2-component epoxy resin systems act as a repair putty. They are versatile and can be used to repair damage, seal leaks, repair torn parts and fill cracks and scratches on surfaces. Regardless of whether the surfaces are made of metal, plastic or wood. Here you can see an application example showing the sealing of a pipe and thread.
Repair of cable breakage
with WEICON TOOLS Duo Crimp No. 300
Permanent physical strain on a cable or excessive bending, regardless of the area, often lead to cable breakage. Repairing cable breaks is easy with the WEICON Duo Crimp No. 300. The versatile stripping tool enables not only precise stripping of damaged cables, but also secure crimping for a reliable connection. The ergonomic and robust design make this multifunctional tool, which is 100 % made in Germany, an indispensable companion in electrical installations and when working on cables.
Repair of conveyor belt
with WEICON Belt Repair-Kit (SF)
Long downtimes due to damage or the purchase of new conveyor belts cost a lot of money. The WEICON Belt Repair-Kit enables the rapid and cost-efficient repair of damaged conveyor belts in various industrial sectors such as agriculture, airports, (coal-fired) power stations, mining (gravel plant), shipping (cargo handling) and in many more areas. Fast repairs minimise downtimes and improve the continuity of production processes. The repaired areas are protected against wear long-term, as the repair compound is resistant to abrasive influences, chemicals and environmental factors.
Repair of the outer cylinder of a pelleting press
with WEICON WR2 und WEICON Ceramic BL
The repair of the cylinder of a pelleting press using a combination of WEICON WR2 and WEICON Ceramic BL offers numerous advantages. WEICON WR2 enables a fast and effective repair. WEICON Ceramic BL offers additional protection against wear and a visual control layer that allows the user to quickly recognise when a new layer needs to be applied. The joint application ensures high mechanical strength in heavily stressed areas and extends the service life through increased abrasion resistance. This cost-effective solution not only avoids the need for expensive machine parts, but also ensures reliable restoration and long-term wear protection in various industrial applications. Both products are equally suitable for repairs to conveyor systems, guide rails, slideways and all metal surfaces.
Threadsealing
with WEICON Thread Sealing Cord DF 175
Threads that are not tight can cause leaks and thus lead to material loss, environmental issues and safety risks. They impair the efficiency of systems, increase operating costs and sometimes require costly repairs. Regular inspection and timely sealing of threads are therefore essential. The subsequent sealing of threads on pipes, compressed air connections, water meters, heaters and many other parts can be carried out effectively and easily with the WEICON Thread Sealing Cord DF 175. The thread sealing cord is approved for food contact applications, is made of 100 % PTFE and is ideal for flexible applications owing to its reversibility. It seals almost all metal and plastic threads.
Securing screws
with WEICONLOCK® AN 302-72 Locking of Threads and Stud Bolts
Securing screws offers a number of advantages. It prevents loosening due to vibrations and increases the stability and reliability of connections. This reduces downtimes, improves safety and prevents premature wear. WEICONLOCK® AN 302-72 Locking of Threads and Stud Bolts is a high viscosity and high strength threadlocker. It has drinking water approval, is resistant to high temperatures and is difficult to dismantle. It is therefore ideal for demanding industrial threads and replaces the spring washer and other mechanical fastening methods.
Maintenance of chemical plants
with WEICON HC 220
The maintenance of chemical plants is inevitable. Aggressive and abrasive chemicals cause wear to the steel of chemical plants, in this case for example on a hopper. Regular inspections, preventive maintenance and fast repairs are crucial for stable operating processes, low downtimes and high productivity. The epoxy resin system WEICON Ceramic HC 220 is ideal for repair work on machinery and equipment, in apparatus engineering and in other areas of industry. It is characterised by high abrasion resistance and protects heavily used surfaces against wear. Thanks to its temperature resistance of up to +220 °C, its flowability, ceramic filling, chemical resistance and high adhesive strength, it can be used in a wide range of applications.
