Libelle Cleaner Control

Libelle Cleaner Control

Monitoring cleaner concentration

Almost all cleaning processes require the addition of cleaning chemicals with a set concentration. If the concentration is too low, the contamination cannot be removed from the component by the medium. Excessive concentration results in higher costs as well as undesired chemical reactions. For the operator of the cleaning system, it is also helpful to know the exact concentration of the cleaning substance in the medium. This is the only way to effectively replenish the cleaning agent in order to ensure constant cleaning performance. Information about the cleaning agent concentration is output by either the machine display or the optional Libelle Data Control.
 

New: Intelligent update for even more precision and efficiency

The new generation of Libelle Cleaner Control offers real advantages for your industrial cleaning: Thanks to advanced sensor technology, measurements are even more stable, precise and reproducible - even under difficult conditions. In many real production environments, the cleaning baths are exposed to dynamic interference: oil residues, particles carried in, air inclusions, flow turbulence or changing temperatures influence the composition of the medium and make reliable inline measurement difficult. Conventional sensor systems can deliver inaccurate or fluctuating measured values under such conditions - with direct consequences: Overdosing leads to unnecessary consumption as well as increased costs. While underdosing impairs the cleaning effect. Both can cause subsequent problems in downstream processes.

With the update of the Libelle Cleaner Control, we are delivering tangible added value.  The cleaning medium can now be analyzed and dosed even more precisely, which reduces consumption, increases efficiency and improves process reliability.
 

This is what's behind the progress:

  1. Precise measurement at rest
  2. Automatic self-cleaning
    An integrated function cleans the sensor regularly - fully automatically, without intervention, for permanently reliable measurement results.

Both technical innovations are patent pending and are now included as standard in the Libelle Cleaner Control.
 

Tested in practice. Effectiveness confirmed.

The Fraunhofer IPA in Germany has extensively tested the Libelle Cleaner Control - as well as our Libelle Fluid Control and Oil Control systems - and confirmed its reliability and effectiveness.

  • unmanned, precise and continuous measuring of cleaner concentration
  • allows direct intervention when the concentration of the cleaning agent changes
  • option for automatic top up of cleaning chemicals
  • reduction of rejects caused by insufficient cleaning performance
  • optimized bath life
  • maintenance free sensor
  • process reliability
Fields of application
  • any cleaning process using cleaning chemicals 
  • replaces titration

Measurement of the acoustic properties of a liquid: These properties are strongly influenced by the amount of cleaning substances in the medium. If these properties change, the concentration in the medium will also be altered. Comparison with a calibration curve allows exact determination of the concentration in the medium than would be possible with manual methods (e.g. titration). 

With the advanced sensor technology, the level indicator measures in a stationary cleaning medium. This enables precise dosing, less cleaning agent and noticeably greater process reliability.

Random manual titration can only provide imprecise results and causes large fluctuation of cleaner concentration. This example shows how using Libelle Cleaner Control with automatic dosing markedly decreases these fluctuations. The cleaner concentration is controlled precisely and cleaning performance is kept constant.
