Precision emulsion & coolant control for pipe & milling
Automated measurement, regulation and control of coolant fluids, emulsions and lubricants. Optimise concentration, pH, temperature and filtration for extended tool life and superior surface quality.
ECS — the ultimate system for monitoring & regulating coolant emulsion concentration
Comprehensive fluid monitoring and automated dosing system
The ECS is the ultimate system for measuring and regulating the water/oil concentration of lubrication cooling solutions in the industry. Its functionality is straightforward: an emulsion sample is taken at programmable intervals from the tank using a suction pump — or, in systems with an above-ground tank, through a valve. After being filtered mechanically and through a magnetic filter, the physical parameters of pH, temperature and electrical conductivity are measured to keep them under control; oil concentration is then measured. Results are shown in real time on the display and tracked for deviation trend analysis. The magnetic filter has an embedded cleaning circuit to carry out a cleaning cycle automatically or on demand, guaranteeing efficiency over time.
