| Special Process Equipment, Inc. possesses
multi-disciplined manufacturing engineers who develop solutions for fabrication
and process flows used in "one of a kind" or volume manufacturing of
air-conditioning/refrigeration, automotive, agricultural, transportation
components or products.
SPE thrives in solving manufacturing process issues.
 | We Listen. . . .
|
 | Ask Questions . . . |
 | Develop Solutions . . . ranging from simple changes to building
specific equipment that solves your unique manufacturing needs. |
SPE focuses on solutions that lead to:
 | Minimal operator input to perform designated tasks.
|
 | Simple understandable routines.
|
 | Reliable, repeatable results that are not operator dependent. |
We offer customized burst, leak test, charging, supply and reclaim systems
for your production line or other needs. Current offerings include:
 | High Pressure Burst with Leak Detection System - fully automatic for
single or multiple product testing. Burst test satisfies UL requirements while
incorporating our latest advancements in pressure decay technology (individual
or comparative test techniques) to quickly identify components that leak.
Touch screen and automated operation reduces operator error advancing quality
and reducing changeover times.
|
 | Low Pressure Leak Detection System - automated for individual or
multiple component testing. Our systems incorporate leading edge pressure
decay techniques and operator touch screen interface for testing of low
pressure components. Built for the automotive, truck, tractor, earthmover,
snowmobile, all terrain vehicle industries where leak detection coupled with
low component strength is the driving force. Operation is simplified to
minimize operator error, increase production line throughput and reduce
changeover times.
|
 | High Sensitivity Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detection Systems -
automated process incorporates advanced concepts, simplifying and reducing
physical size while increasing reliability and leak detection sensitivity.
Touch screen and automated operation reduce operator errors, increase quality
and cut changeover times.
 | Vacuum Chamber - component charged with helium, placed in chamber,
chamber evacuated, component leak tested.
|
 | Hood - component placed within lexan hood having a specific helium
to air mixture, evacuated, leak tested. |
|
 | Refrigerant Charging Systems - automated with touch screen operator
interface uses our distinctive evacuation process ensuring dehydration and
leak free prior to charging. Accurate refrigerant charging assured by our flow
transducer (unaffected by electromagnetic noise, no bearings to wear out)
coupled with real time temperature compensation. Vacuum and pressure
transducers increase reliability and system accuracy. Single or multiple
stations available.
 | Single Refrigerant
|
 | Multiple Refrigerants |
|
 | Gas Charging Systems - automated with touch screen operator interface
uses VTech evacuation and dehydration process prior to charging. Accurate gas
charging by pressure assured with vacuum and pressure transducers using our
proven algorithms to minimize gas usage. Single or multiple stations
available.
 | Tracer Gases - for leak location.
|
 | Nitrogen/Other Inert Gas - for holding. |
|
 | Refrigerant Supply Systems - equipment and apparatus to supply
refrigerants to refrigerant charging systems from 100 pound, 2000 pound
cylinders or bulk storage tanks.
- Low to High Volume Supply
|
 | Gas Reclaim Systems- recover gas(es) from products or components
maximizing capture for reuse using our simple reliable processes. Belt driven
compressor ensures long life.
 | Refrigerant Gas
|
 | Helium Tracer Gas |

SPE utilizes production grade touch screens and Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLC) enabling the operator to select the proper "model in process."
The procedure is automated requiring minimum operator interface for diverse
components by using parameters pre-determined and set by engineering or quality.
Thus production line throughput is increased while changeover times are
minimized and quality maintained.
Systems are expandable to integrate data acquisition, bar code reading,
quality control functions, etc., providing information or interfaces with your
processes needed for a smooth running operation.
All products are engineered and designed to be compact, reducing floor space
and installation time.
We offer complete turn-key systems or individual equipment for your specific
production line requirements. We can provide conveyors, fixtures, leak test
fittings, operator shielding and training of personnel. Our extensive expertise
can assist you in finding the answers for your manufacturing issues. And we can
design and build the solution for you. Contact us. We are ready to help you.
