Removing contamination off cleaning and rinsing bath in the industrial parts cleaning ensures a long bath operation time and high parts Cleanliness. The SITA ConSpector can measure the bath contamination in cleaning and rinsing baths directly at the plant or in the laboratory. The measuring result is available within a few seconds.

Process changes such as the failure of the filter unit or a high increase of the contamination level in the bath are reliably detected and enable an immediate response. Treatment measures can be applied and monitored in a targeted manner. The cleaning process can be carried out within allowed limit values leading to a reliable cleaning result. Controlling the rinsing steps with regard to the carry-over of contamination or cleaning chemicals prevents the parts from becoming contaminated again.

Examples for detectable contamination:

  • Cooling lubricants
  • Rolling oil
  • Grease
  • Deep drawing oils
  • Release agents

The fluorescence of the bath contamination (e.g. oil drop) is stimulated by a UV light source. A photodiode in the sensor head of the SITA ConSpector measures the intensity of the radiation emitted by the fluorescence at a defined Wavelength in the blue light range. The intensity of the fluorescence depends on the contamination level per volume.

The SITA ConSpector works according to the confocal measuring principle. The excitation light and the light emitted by the fluorescence follow the same parallel ray path. The measurement of the contamination level can be easily realised by immersing the remote immersion probe into the bath sample.
