Alpine Components won with its new Ultraprobe, which uses ultrasound to economically and effectively detect leaks on equipment such as compressors. The easy to use kit is fast too, typically taking just 30s to detect a problem.

Alpine Components distributes the Ultraprobe in the UK on behalf of UE Systems. On winning the award, Micky Jackson, sales engineer, commented: ” Ultraprobe is a front line tool to combat energy loss within the industry. I am thrilled to have won and receive this recognition. It was a fantastic experience to be involved in.”
