The rinse tek RT-10 is a rinsewater controller for the plating industry, providing a simple to install and low cost method of controlling rinsewater usage. This approach has several advantages over manual rinsewater control:-
i) Lower, more consistent water usage and cost.
ii) More consistent concentration of chemicals in tank outflow, resulting in simpler water treatment task.
iii) Lower operator intervention needed to suit work patterns.
Control
The conductivity in the swill tank of a counterflow rinse system is used as the control parameter, and Moranlord have developed their own low cost electrodeless conductivity sensor specifically for this purpose. This sensor is unique in having an integral smt electronics package which ensures accurate temperature compensated conductivity measurement.
The specially designed polypropylene encapsulated conductivity sensor is used to measure the concentration of chemical contamination in the rinse tank, and a rugged solenoid valve is used to regulate the flow of water.
The control unit allows the user to set a level of conductivity related to the required concentration of carry-in process chemical.
Electrodeless = High Accuracy & Low Maintenance
Electrodeless conductivity technology is used because of its inherent accuracy and stability, with the added advantage that there is no requirement for cleaning or maintenance of the sensor.
Easy to fit - Easy to use
The sensor is designed to fit any depth and shape of rinse tank straight from the box. It is manufactured in high- temperature polypropylene and clamps to the side of the tank so there's no need to drill any holes.
The sensor fits by the tank outflow and incorporates a built-in air pump to ensure a constant flow of water through the sensor, ensuring a rapid response to changes in carry-in and water entry changes in chemical concentration
Flow measurement
The rinse tek allows the volume of rinse water used to be measured with an integrated digital flow meter.
The system uses low voltage 24vac power (transformer included) to operate the controller and solenoid valve, so that the maximum safety benefits can be gained from use in the plating environment.
4-20 mA option
A 4-20mA output module is available as an option to enable the remote logging of rinse water temperature and conductivity levels for quality control purposes.
The RT-10 is a complete rinse water control system kit including everything required to control the rinse water in a single swill tank:
-control unit (and power transformer) in IP65 rated cabinet enclosure
-conductivity sensor
-water control valve/flow-meter module (specially selected Burkert solenoid valve) - see opposite.
Ease of installation and affordability have been the primary considerations in the design of this exciting new product.
