1.O2 Overview
PLC controlled pneumatic wall-mount units are designed to dose chemical products to multiple washer extractors. The
maximum number of products that can be used with a single unit is ten (10). Regardless of the number of dosage channels
the maximum number of washers the products can be distributed to by a single unit is ten (10).
All the components of the system are consistent with general purpose industry standards, and the materials of construction
are compatible with all normal laundry products.
The measurements made by the built-in flow meter ensure reliable, accurate and repeatable product dosage. The use of a
flow meter also allows for additional safety measures and alarms to prevent mixing of chemicals.
The pneumatic wall-mount units have five major components:
1) The
collection manifold
(Mounted on the main panel.)
2) The
dosing channel
(From the collection manifold on the main panel out to the distribution manifold.)
3) The
distribution manifold
, (Mounted separately.)
4) The
calibration vase
. (Mounted separately.)
5) The
communications boxes
(To capture and transmit the signals from each washer extractor to the controller.)
When a qualified signal is detected by the communication box, the unit will dose the appropriate products according to the
settings of the formula and washing phase being executed.
An external panel for an optional air flush can be used when larger doses or longer distances are required in order to deliver
the chemical doses to the machines much faster and using less water.
