Injection machine at a cable manufacturing plant
To compare the results between the Machine 1 with Vulcan 5000 and the Machine 2 without the Vulcan electronic descaler.
Model: Vulcan 5000
Location: Morocco
Installation Area: before injection molding machine
February 07 - May 10, 2018
(3 months)
Installation area: Before the Machine 1 : an injection machine in a cable manufacturing plant (plastic area)
Pipe diameter: 2 inch (50mm) PVC pipe
Purpose: To compare the results between the Machine 1 with Vulcan 5000 and the Machine 2 without Vulcan
February 7: Vulcan 5000 was installed before the Machine 1.
February 7: Visual observation of the Machine 1 before Vulcan was installed. The wall and the nozzles have scale and bacteria.
May 10: The Machine 1 with Vulcan 5000 for 3 months, 80% scale and 100% bacterial have been decreased.
May 10: The Machine 2 without Vulcan, the scale and bacteria are still on the walls and deposit in the water bottom.
May 10 - June 13, 2018
(1 month)
Installation area: Before the Machine 2Pipe diameter: 2 inch (50mm) PVC pipe
Purpose:
1. To observe the Machine 1 without Vulcan
2. To observe the Machine 2 with Vulcan
May 10: The Machine 2 without Vulcan, the scale deposits on walls and coils.
June 13: The Machine 2 with Vulcan for 1 month, the scale has been dissolved and can be removed with a finger.
June 13: Vulcan had been removed for 1 month. The Machine 1 has returned to its initial state, floating with biofilm.
Recommendation:
A purge of the tank once a month is necessary, so that the water is not saturated by the decomposed scale.
Vulcan Advantages:
- Save the cost to run a water softener.
- Prolong the life of the cable injection machines and the components such as nozzles.
- Increase the life and performance of the pump by removing scales from pipes.
- Reduce the energy and the maintenance costs.
