When companies make the switch to a new cleaning installation (completely new unit or renewal in an existing production environment) continuing to guarantee the cleaning process during installation of the new unit is not always a simple matter.
To provide a solution here, the engineering team at BOONS FIS designed a custom-made system for the customer specially assembled on a skid frame. In practice this came down to the whole cleaning installation being assembled on a stainless steel frame. Full assembly took place at BOONS’ own workshop, before the skid frame was transported as a whole to the customer*.
In practice this unit feeds 16 branch points where a selection can be made between rinsing, two foam products (acid and lye) and a disinfectant. The dosing pumps are provided with a ‘day tank’ for the day’s quantity of product to be dosed. The unit was provided with a pre-pressure pump on the water tank and the necessary pressure-booster pumps. The installation is controlled by a Siemens PLC control that communicates with customer’s PROFINET. The additional wish of the customer to have all components provided in stainless steel was also satisfied.
