PRODUCT MATERIALS &
CONSTRUCTION
De-Bug fuel treatment units are
manufactured from special engineering materials which are carefully chosen for
their resistance to diesel and their adaptability to cope with various
applications, such as the marine environment, the mining industry, and
agricultural applications amongst others.
In
general, external housings and the internal centre stud are gravity die-cast
marine grade, corrosion resistant aluminum alloy or stainless steel. These are
particularly resistant to salt water and other environments. Larger units are
manufactured to order from coated mild steel, or stainless steel.
The
magnets are manufactured from ferrite metal in ceramic. They are magnetized such
that the South Pole is on one face (top) and the North Pole is on the other
(bottom). The magnets are stacked such that the North Pole of one magnet always
faces the South Pole of the adjacent magnet. This ensures that the magnets are
attracting at all times so that the magnetic field strength is maximized between
them.
The
magnet spacers are manufactured from Acetyl M90 plastic. This type of plastic is
particularly resistant to environmental stress cracking and numerous chemicals
usually associated with diesel fuel. It is also capable of withstanding extreme
temperatures.
The
spacers have two functions with the De-Bug Fuel Treatment Unit.
The first is
to separate the magnets so that fuel passes between them at the desired flow
rate. The second is to act as flow directors so that the fuel flows between the
magnets and through the centre of the middle magnet in the Tri-Mag stack. This
is unique to the De-Bug fuel treatment unit and is one of the reasons for the
units effectiveness.
PUBLIC & PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE
All De Bug products come with the manufacturer's public and product
liability indemnity insurance of NZ$5.0 M (five million New Zealand
dollars).
PRODUCT WARRANTY
De-Bug products are unconditionally guaranteed against manufacturing
defects for one year provided that failure of such parts and materials has not
resulted from negligence or wilful act by the end user.
Note:
To offer our customers a "peace of mind" and to show our confidence
on the products, De Bug Marketing and its Singapore business partner &
distributor, TransVictory Marine & Offshore Pte Limited, will offer an
additional 12 months ( 12 + 12 months or 24 months) extended product warranty
against manufacturers defects. This means we provide twelve months on top of the 12 months product warranty
offers by our manufacturer.
VOIDING OF WARRANTY
Disassembly of the De Bug Model L140 unit will void all warranties
and guarantees.
GUARANTEES
De Bug units are guaranteed to significant reduce the microbial
diesel fuel contamination on the condition that the product has been installed
correctly. De Bug ICI Laboratory
test shows that 97.5% of diesel bugs going through the De Bug are eliminated.
The findings on the effectiveness of De Bugs in eliminating diesel bugs are
reinforced by the test reports from the Korean Institute of Technology's
laboratory tests.
