Redline Detection, an industry leader in heavy duty diagnostic leak detection equipment, unveiled the Air Brake NanoLeak Finder, a technological innovation that pinpoints leaks in air brake, air suspension and air powered accessory systems.
The new equipment is being demonstrated at the CONEXPO – CON/AGG Show, Bronze Hall Booth No. B90418, in Las Vegas.
“The Air Brake NanoLeak Finder allows technicians, for the first time ever, to test for air brake leaks and pinpoint the precise location of leaks, in minutes. The equipment is being used by OEMs to locate leaks in heavy duty trucks and equipment that would take hours with conventional methods, saving valuable service time and getting trucks back on the road fast” said Alex Parker, Executive Vice President of Redline Detection “this is a very exciting breakthrough for anyone who deals with air brake leaks.”
The patent pending technology in the machine creates a signature vapor that, in conjunction with the hand-held NanoLeak Locator, pinpoints the precise location of air brake leaks instantly. Clear, audible and visual signals speed diagnostics and pinpointing of leaks. The equipment improves efficiency, saving valuable hours and marking a dramatic technical advance from conventional, messy, soapy water methods and ineffective listening devices.
"Our technicians spent over 16 labor hours attempting to find air brake leaks on two fire trucks," said Chris Micheal of Valley Power Systems who field tested the new technology. "We could not find the leaks until we used the Air Brake NanoLeak Finder. Using this equipment we found and fixed all the leaks on both fire trucks in only 1.7 hours. This breakthrough technology will become the 'best practice' procedure for air brake diagnostics and repair."
With a one-minute test cycle, the Redline Air Brake NanoLeak Finder will flash a clear green or red, pass or fail light indicator for fool-proof testing, regardless of technician, truck, or trailer variables. Only the Redline Air Brake NanoLeak Finder can indicate, with 100 percent certainty, whether a vehicle, tractor or trailer meets US DOT Standards or risks being taken out of service, according to the company.
Engineered with safety in mind, even a relatively inexperienced technician can quickly and reliably test every vehicle, easily pinpointing the site of the problem with 100 percent certainty, according to the company, freeing more experienced technicians to make repairs.
The compact design and full complement of specially engineered accessories make Redline Air Brake NanoLeak Tester essential for HD service centers performing air brake leak testing. The durable, professional grade equipment comes complete with all necessary accessories, ready to go to work right out of the box. Weighing only 8.6 lbs., the Redline Air Brake NanoLeak Finder runs on compressed air and 12V DC, and utilizes test pressure up to 135 PSI (9.3 BAR). Redline Detection is also the maker of the awardwinning HD PowerSmoke high pressure diagnostic leak detector, a groundbreaking technological advance and the solution to after-treatment problems.
