VLOCLEAR Dispenser
Water naturally contains micro-organisms that can multiply under certain conditions in film and photo processing equipment. Over time, this may lead to the formation of biological residues in the wash water section, sometimes referred to as biofilm or bioslime.
This buildup can contribute to wash water contamination, which may affect film quality and cause unwanted odors. In some cases, biological deposits can also influence equipment performance.
In normal water systems, the level of micro-organisms is usually limited. However, under specific conditions in the wash water section of a processor, microbial activity can increase significantly over a short period of time. This may lead to unwanted biological deposits and reduced wash water quality.
To help manage microbial growth, it is recommended to dose VLOCLEAR regularly into the wash water after the processor has been cleaned. VLOCLEAR supports conditions that help reduce the multiplication of micro-organisms and may contribute to limiting biofilm and bioslime buildup.
VLOCLEAR can be added manually, but the VLOCLEAR Dispenser, specifically designed for this application, enables automated dosing. This helps provide consistent dosing in relation to process requirements, including during periods of reduced production activity.
Easy Installation and Operation
The dispenser is wall-mounted near the processor and can be connected to the wash water section using the supplied tubing and fittings. After installation and parameter setup, the unit is ready for operation.
Dosing volume and dosing interval can be adjusted via the control panel. The integrated LCD display shows the selected values and menu options in the preferred language.
Container Monitoring
The suction pipe is equipped with a float switch. When the container is nearly empty, the system provides an acoustic signal and an alert message on the LCD display.
The buzzer can be temporarily reset using the reset button. If the container is not replaced, the alert will repeat after 30 minutes. Once a new container is installed, the warning is cleared automatically.
