Sugar Refinery

Sugar Syrup

This customer experienced operational errors from the accumulation oflime calcium (used to remove impurities of raw sugar) deposits on thesensor section of their process refractometer. Therefore, they installed theultrasonic cleaner, US-αTM. The customer confirmed that there wasabsolutely no build-up once the pipeline was cleaned, and after 20 days
had passed it was still in pristine condition.
Occasionally, the customer performs some maintenance such as cleaning
with hot water and gently wiping it off just in case, but even now, they are
not experiencing any issues with measurement values.
They had a refractometer made by another manufacturer which they
periodically removed from the pipeline and performed cleaning. By
purchasing an ATAGO in-line refractometer along with the US-α TM,
cleanings were reduced, making the process easy and hassle-free.

 What is PROFIBUS?

Anybus Communicator

PROFIBUS is a communication protocol for fieldbus, industrial computer network
between the field device and its controller in factory automation applications. PROFIBUS
is standardized under such standards as IEC 61158/61784 and EN50170. The PRM™

SUS316L is a material with a carbon (C) amount below 0.03%, in contrast to SUS316, which has a carbon
amount below 0.08%. Further differences are the amount of Ni contained in SUS316 is 10 to 14%, whereas
SUS316L contains 12 to 15%. Therefore, SUS316L is favored over SUS316 for its corrosion resistance that

Paper Manufacturing Company Gelling Agent (Coating)contains superb work hardening (cold forming) and intergranular corrosion resistant properties.
The purpose of a gelling agent is to stabilize the finished coating byapplying it on the paper. This customer confirmed that throughout 32
continuous hours of operating the manufacturing line, gelling agent buildup on the sensor section would occur every 5 to 7 hours. Due to the gelling
agent's properties, build-up was prone to occur, and the customer fretted
over whether or not management with a refractometer was reallyappropriate for their application. It was at that time the customer found out
about αTM, and demoed it. Once manufacturing begins, the process cannot
be stopped, so the implementation of the US-αTM has been tremendously
helpful in eliminating the occurrence of build-up.

 What is COP (Clean Out of Place)?
COP is a method of cleaning wherein the machinery installed in the production equipment are removed,
disassembled and cleaned. It is used for cleaning machinery and parts with complex structures and components.
Machinery that is simple to disassemble and reassemble, and easily cleaned is highly demanded in regards tocleanliness.
