Precision Emulsion & Coolant Fluids Control for Pipe Manufacturing & Milling

Automated measurement, regulation, and control of coolant fluids, emulsions, and lubricants. Optimize concentration, pH, temperature, and filtration for extended tool life and superior surface quality.

Emulsion & Fluids Control

±0.1% concentration accuracy | 30% reduction in fluid consumption

Concentration Control pH Regulation Filtration Management

ECS -The ultimate system for monitoring & regulating the coolant emulsion's concentration

Comprehensive fluid monitoring and automated dosing systems

Ecs is the ultimate system for measuring and regulating the water/oil concentration for lubrication cooling solutions in the industry. Its functionality scheme is relatively simple: an emulsionsample is taken at regular and programmable intervalsfrom the tank using a suction pump, or, in systems with an above-ground tank, through a valve. After being filtered both mechanically and using amagnetic filter, the physical parameters of ph,temperature and electrical conductivity are measured inorder to also keep these parameters under control, the oil concentration is then measured. results are shownin real time on the display and tracked for deviation's trend analysis. The magnetic filter has an embedded cleaning circuit soto carry out a cleaning cycle automatically or ondemand, guaranteeing its efficiency over time.
