Summit Systems now offers fast, precise acoustic Leak Detection for the Plastics Industry to cut energy waste and prevent unplanned downtime, by uncovering compressed air and gas leaks.
Summit Systems now offers a specialist leak detection service designed to uncover compressed air and gas leaks, partial discharge issues, and early mechanical faults before they escalate. Using industry leading Fluke acoustic imaging technology, this service provides a fast, non intrusive way to locate energy waste, reduce downtime risks, and improve the overall efficiency of your plant.
This service works by using Fluke’s advanced acoustic imagers, which convert sound waves into a visual SoundMap so engineers can see exactly where a leak or anomaly is occurring, even in noisy production environments. With tools such as LeakQ for estimating leak size and cost, PDQ for electrical discharge identification, and MecQ for mechanical issue detection, Summit’s engineers can scan large areas during normal operating hours, document findings, and help you plan corrective action with clarity and precision.
Because leaks and early stage faults are costly, disruptive, and often invisible, this service helps you stay ahead of unplanned downtime, wasted energy, rising operating costs, and avoidable maintenance issues. Research shows that plants can lose up to thirty percent of compressed air production through leaks, and mechanical or electrical faults can escalate into serious failures if left undetected. By finding these issues early and accurately, Summit Systems gives you a practical way to boost reliability, protect production, and achieve measurable savings.
Most leak detection surveys can be completed within the same day, with no interruption to production and minimal access requirements. Summit Systems engineers carry out inspections while your equipment continues to run, allowing you to identify issues and plan corrective work without affecting output.
After every inspection, Summit Systems provides a comprehensive report that includes:
• Annotated SoundMap images showing the exact location of each issue
• Leak severity ratings and estimated energy or cost losses
• Identification of mechanical anomalies or partial discharge where relevant
• A clear priority list of corrective actions
• Recommendations for repair, maintenance or follow up work
This gives your maintenance and engineering teams everything they need to take quick, informed action.
This service is suitable for a wide range of industrial environments, including:
Summit Systems brings decades of industrial experience, specialist engineering knowledge, and a proven track record of improving plant efficiency across the UK. Our engineers are fully trained in the latest Fluke acoustic imaging technology, ensuring precise, reliable results on every visit. With nationwide coverage, quick response times and a full suite of after sales services, we provide a joined up approach that supports both immediate fault finding and long term optimisation of your site.
A leak detection service from Summit Systems identifies leaks in compressed air, gas, steam, and vacuum systems, and can also highlight early stage mechanical or electrical issues when using advanced acoustic imaging. This helps you uncover hidden energy losses, safety risks, and performance issues long before they become costly problems.
Summit Systems uses Fluke acoustic imaging technology, which captures sound waves through a sensitive microphone array and converts them into a visual SoundMap. This allows our engineers to see exactly where leaks, partial discharge, or mechanical anomalies are coming from, enabling fast, accurate inspections while your plant continues to operate normally.
Absolutely. Summit Systems helps industrial sites cut energy waste, avoid unplanned downtime, and improve overall system efficiency by identifying leaks and faults that often go unnoticed. By addressing these issues early, you reduce running costs, extend equipment life, and give your maintenance team clear, actionable data to plan repairs effectively.
