IPEK, a manufacturer of pipeline inspection systems with a history of 25 years of sophisticated, high-quality technical developments, has good reason to celebrate this year.
With the new pipeline inspection system Rovion, iPEK has developed a completely scalable entry-level solution for the pipeline inspection industry, a spokesman says.
With regard to size, economic efficiency and functionality this crawler system offers everything a pipeline inspector requires for his work. The application area of the Rovion system starts at a pipe diameter of DN100. With suitable accessories, which are available optionally, the system can be used up to a nominal width of DN2000. With a cable length of 300 m the electrically driven RAX300 cable reel is suitable for mobile use. A 230 V power outlet is all that is required for its operation. For business startups, manual cable reels with 100 m and 200 m cable lengths are also available.
The Visioncontrol control panel serves as the core control unit for the mobile crawler technology. Additionally, it is the interface to the Agilios pan and tilt push camera system, which can optionally be connected to the Rovion system.
With regard to small diameters, the Agilios pan and tilt push camera system starts at DN50 and is most suitable for newcomers to start their business. It can gradually be expanded to a complete crawler system. For large diameters, the new RX400 crawler is suitable for DN400 up to DN2000. RX400 is steerable and a real power pack – equipped with four high-performance engines it can cover large distances and a broad diameter range. A highlight of RX400 is the automatic centering of the camera head inside the pipe thus ensuring a fast inspection of pipeline systems.
Today, an international orientation and innovative products make iPEK a global player with a well-established product portfolio. iPEK’s goal for the future is to continue to provide new, innovative, robust and reliable products year by year and to confirm the company’s leadership position in the market. In the Middle East oil and gas industry, iPEK is present through its local distribution companies Al Othman Trading & Contracting, Saudi Arabia and Euro Mechanical in the UAE.
