Heating System in the Machine
The pump draws water into the machine and passes it through the heat exchanger toward the nozzles. Simultaneously, steam and cooling water flow through the heat exchanger in the opposite direction, efficiently heating or cooling the flotte. The PT100 sensor reads values in ohms and transmits them to the PLC, which controls temperature changes to maintain the desired SET value. With PLC control, the valves open proportionally, allowing precise heating and cooling adjustments in degrees per minute.
Overflow from the Reserve Tank
The pump draws water from the reserve tank and sends it to the nozzles. To maintain the maximum water level, the machine periodically opens the discharge valve, performing overflow washing. If needed, the heat exchanger activates during this process to further heat the incoming water. If the reserve tank runs out of water, the PLC automatically switches to drawing water directly from the main line to continue the process without interruption.
Overflow from the Line
Clean water is supplied directly from the main line to the suction line of the machine, passing through the heat exchanger and filters to perform effective washing. The overflow valve maintains a constant water level inside the machine. This washing process is precisely controlled by adjusting the water amount, time, and level. The flow meter in the water inlet line measures the overflow washing volume, ensuring a continuous and repeatable washing effect.
Analogue Level Control System
The system controls water levels by converting the resistance formed on the analog level control bar, located outside the device, into a 4-20 mA signal using a magnetic floating buoy. Although it cannot calculate the overflowing water level when the machine overflows with fabric volume, it offers a major advantage: after water discharge, the machine automatically calculates and receives the correct amount of water based on the fabric’s absorption. The PLC system manages this process by adjusting the minimum and maximum control levels.
In every water intake procedure, the pump remains inactive until the safety level is reached. Once the water intake begins and reaches the set level, the intake valve closes automatically, and the towers start operating.
Salt Function
During the pre-dyeing program, the system receives water based on the fabric amount. While the PT100 sensor heats the dye bath to the required temperature, water transfers from the reserve tank to the indirectly heated chemical tank until reaching the maximum level, automatically activating the mixer. Meanwhile, the additional container heats up to the set temperature, and the water inside it is pumped back into the reserve tank, creating a continuous water cycle between the two tanks. During this cycle, salt dissolves in the additional container. Once ready, the saltwater is added in the correct proportion and kept ready for use in the dye bath.
Water Intake Function
The fabric amount and maximum water level are adjusted through the PLC settings or the flow meter. The main pump remains inactive during water intake. A flow meter, installed after the water inlet lines, measures the amount of incoming water; however, it cannot detect any change in water amount during the process itself. When used together with the analog dipstick, the system determines both the intake amount and the amount of water remaining in the fabric during the process. The system supplements any required additional water using the flow meter. Additionally, the flow meter controls the water consumption during the overflow procedure.
