Electrolyte Tank Management System
At Glebar, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art applications and solutions, which means we are always engaged in process development procedures to ensure our equipment meets our customers’ expectations.
For example, our customers wanted an easier, more reliable way to check the electrolyte levels of their Tridex ECG Cutoff & Grinding machines without having to engage in the tedious and less accurate manual process. To achieve this, our team developed an enhanced electrolyte tank featuring digital ultrasonic sensors that connect with an I/O link to the HMI screen enabling better grind management, improved grind efficiency, and reduced downtime.
Challenge
Operators use float hydrometers to measure the electrolyte’s salt density and perform visual inspections of the clean and dirty electrolyte fill levels.
These tests:
- are manual and operator-dependent processes.
- provide insufficient data to accurately plan for electrolyte change.
- reduce the quality of the grind increasing scrap rates.
- result in lower process capability.
Solution:
Upgrading to the new Electrolyte Tank Management System provides customers with a new electrolyte tank featuring digital ultrasonic sensors that connect with an I/O link generating a graphical and numeric display of electrolyte health and fill levels on the HMI screen.
Benefits: Real-time Information Display Improves Grind Quality, Increasing Uptime
Using the HMI, operators can monitor electrolyte temperature and conductivity, and the fill levels of the clean and return electrolyte.
This allows customers to:
- monitor Precision Flow Pump efficiency to plan for preventive maintenance.
- reduce time spent troubleshooting; the HMI alerts operators to changes in electrolyte efficacy.
- allow operators to precisely adjust the electrolyte flow rate through the HMI to provide a better, cleaner, and more consistent grind.
- make precise adjustments through a simpler and more accurate process.
- virtually eliminate unplanned downtime increasing thruput.
