Amongst the world’s “brightest minds and hottest” products being showcased at this year’s SEMA is international tyre inflation expert PCL, in the South Hall, Lower Level booth #48045.

As the automotive industry’s most advanced handheld and mobile nitrogen inflation equipment specialist, PCL is set to deal yet another winning deck for the US market.

The ace for 2009 is the brand new compact ACCURA Nitrogen Analyzer – a rugged and ergonomically designed piece of equipment which can read the actual percentage of nitrogen in your tyres. Other products on the market read only the amount of oxygen, therefore the PCL analyzer removes the need to convert the oxygen percentage into the figure for nitrogen.

As with all PCL products, the new Nitrogen Analyzer provides the highest levels of accuracy and is made for ease of use, with a simple to operate, one button operation, auto diagnostic with error code to simplify troubleshooting, and a replaceable battery and sensor. The battery life is extended by an automatic power off function.

This makes it ideal for workshops, fleets, tyre shops, and car dealerships, as well as more advanced racing applications.

The Nitrogen Analzyer complements other nitrogen products in the PCL range, including last year’s hot product for the US market - ACCURA Mobile, PCL’s portable Nitrogen Tyre Inflation Cart.

The highly accurate ACCURA Mobile features a Nitrogen “convert and purge” of air inflated tyres and a “top-up” of Nitrogen inflated tyres. It can be used with either a Nitrogen bottle or generator. With six hose outlets for multi tyre inflation it can provide high speed on or off site inflation and is especially designed for US applications.

Nitrogen inflation provides cooler running tyres and eliminates moisture in casings, decreasing degradation, while the tyre pressure is maintained longer. These features provide the benefits of extended tyre life, increased safety, higher fuel economy and superior handling – a win win result for tyre inflation operators and end users alike.

Meanwhile anyone worried about the proposals for legislation concerning California Tyre Pressure should make a pitstop at PCL booth to find out the details and how our products can ensure that your company is compliant to the new guidelines. Customers can see demonstrations of PCL’s comprehensive range of handheld tyre inflators, including:

- the AirForce dial unit, which is fast and simple to use with guaranteed accuracy, and tested and approved under the EC Directive 86/217.
- the accurate and extremely robust MK3 Tyre Inflator, a handheld inflator suitable for the most intensive indoor and outdoor use.
- ACCURA 1, the leading handheld unit of its kind, having passed the strict German PTB approvals. It breaks the mould for handheld units, merging ease of use and readability with rapid, safe and cost-effective tyre inflation, and is becoming widely accepted as the best product available for measuring and checking digital Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).

Also on show at SEMA will be the full range of ACCURA electronic preset tyre inflation units, designed for all types of tyre inflation applications - from tyre shops, garages, and car dealerships to transportation and vehicle manufacture.
