Chemical Replenishment System
When operating a processor which uses chemicals for the continuous production of plate/film it is very
important that the chemicals within the machine are keep in good working order so as to provide consistent
processing quality.
To achieve this consistency we use replenishment solutions, which are formulated by the chemical
manufacturer and injected into the processor precisely for the area of material being produced.
Replenishment of the chemical tanks is done automatically using infra red sensors located at the entrance
to the processor. These sensors accurately monitor the width of material entering the processor, this
information is in then used by the microprocessor (CPU) control software to calculate the surface area for
each plate loaded into the processor.
Each sensor, when covered, will generate a pulse, which is then recorded on a decoder and counted –
the more sensors that are covered then the faster the count. When the count reaches the programmed value
of pulse counts it triggers the start of a replenishment cycle.
During each replenishment cycle the replenishment pumps inject fresh solution from small storage bottles/
tank and into the corresponding "working" tank solutions for a pre-set time.
