1.4. Maintaining the Proper Chemical Charge
After you have developed an effective chemical concentration, as described in the
previous section, you must monitor and maintain it for optimal cleaning results and
washer performance.
Initially, you could start by monitoring chemical concentration weekly (or, every 40 hours
of washer operation). However, you should develop a monitoring schedule based on
the frequency of washer operation, degree of cleanliness required, the types of soils to
be removed from parts, and so on. Your monitoring schedule should account for all the
variables in your application in order to give you the best cleaning results, while using
the least amount of chemical possible.
For help in developing a chemical-concentration-monitoring schedule, call your MART
representative to discuss your application(s) and requirements, or contact your chemical
supplier.
There are two fast and accurate monitoring methods:
1. Titration Test
Perform this test to determine the concentration of chemical by
titrating the alkalinity of the solution with an indicator and a
drop count.
The results determine the number of ounces of chemical to
add per gallon of water-capacity.
Refer to chapter "Maintenance" for procedural information.
2. Conductivity Test
Conductivity testing equipment is optionally available from
MART. Refer to chapter
"Options" if you have purchased a
conductivity controller and probe equipment for your washer.
