VPT160 – Cylinder Head Pressure Tester
The Comec VPT160 is a hydraulic leak tester designed to detect fractures or cracks in endothermic engine heads and blocks, essential for engine rebuild shops.
DESCRIPTION
The Comec VPT160 is a hydraulic leak tester specifically designed to accurately and easily detect cracks or fractures in endothermic engine heads and blocks.
This machine tool is a key resource for any engine rebuild shop that wants to ensure the highest quality of service.
Operation of the VPT160 is intuitive and efficient.
The cylinder head or engine block is immersed in a tank of hot water and pressurized air is injected while the outlets of the cooling circuit are previously sealed.
This procedure makes it possible to detect any cracks or fissures as any air bubbles escape, easily highlighting any fractures present.
Its working capacity allows it to accommodate cylinder heads and blocks up to 1350 mm in length, and the head support cradle is moved vertically by hydraulic arms and can rotate 360°, providing complete control from any angle.
An important aspect of the Comec VPT160 is advanced heat management.
In fact, it is equipped with a programmable electronic thermostat with a timer to heat water efficiently and optimize energy consumption.
Thermal insulation of the tank is ensured by the efficient insulation and cover that prevent heat loss, further reducing operating costs.
Two powerful 4.5 kW heating elements provide fast and even heating.
With stainless steel construction and the use of quality components, this machine is perfect for continuous use, requires minimal maintenance and complies with CE safety regulations.
The Comec VPT 160 is a safe investment for any engine repair and reconditioning shop that wants to take a further step towards precision and efficiency in head and block inspection, ensuring high quality and safe results.
