Project Description
Assignments
The client’s objective was to automate the dosing process of liquids in the evaporator units
Reduce the time operators spent manually weighing the liquids and pouring the liquids into the evaporators, using jerry cans and buckets.
Reduction of product spillage.
Solutions
Intentus Engineering was selected to provide the electrical and mechanical engineering for this project.
The required components, such as load cells, valves and pumps, were selected by Intentus Engineering.
Intentus Engineering designed a system with three pumps, three scales and fifteen valves. The system will dose the desired amount of oil or sodium hydroxide to the evaporator.
We provided the electrical and mechanical installation of all components.
Results
Dosing of the liquids at the push of a button.
Reduction of operator actions.
5% increase in output per evaporator.
No more spilling of product.
Increase in plant safety as NaOH is now dosed in a closed system.
About the project
The process of dispensing in the factory in question was not fully efficient; all liquid raw materials were measured out using jerry cans and dosed into the vessels. Now it’s possible to dispense the liquid raw materials with just the push of a button.
