pH value Control in Metal Cleaning
The plant is used for surface treatment of metal parts as preparation for their painting and is divided into a degreasing,
phosphating and passivation zone. Throughput is in excess of 1000 parts per day.
Challenge
- Automatic pH value control and pH value monitoring in various zones of the plant
- Documentation of data for quality assurance purposes
- Plant design for highest level of operational safety and minimum expenditure on maintenance
Solution
Complete measurement/control/dosing cabinet
- Two temperature-compensated measurement stations for pH value and conductivity each
- Each with DULCOMETER® D1C controller, DULCOTEST® sensors, suitable for process use and by-pass housing
- Two Beta range solenoid-operated dosing pumps complete with accessories and multi-channel recorder
Customer benefits
- Cleaning chemicals savings through pH value-dependent dosing instead of manual dosing
- Operating staff savings thanks to fullyautomatic pH value measurement, pH value control and pH value dosing
- Improved occupational safety, as operating staff have no contact with aggressive chemicals
- Increased process safety through redundant measurement system
- Proof of quality through documentation of the parameters
- Low operating costs through simple operation of the plant and long service life of the pH electrodes
- Little environmental burden through reduced emission of cleaning solutions
