Food Safer...from the start

The Anitox Liquid Application System is a precise liquid application unit.  The system decants liquid from a storage tank and applies it precisely at a manually preset amount to a mixer or conveyor via precision air atomized spray nozzles.  The system has provisions to allow it to be controlled manually by plant operators or fully automated via material/product flow sensors.  When automated, the sensors would stop and start the system as required, i.e. when material flows through a conveyor the application is started and stopped automatically according to the presets.  The applications system provides a manual on/off switch to power up the system and a manual/automatic switch to select mode of control.  There are panel-mounted lamps to indicate operation status of the system.

The main components of the Anitox Liquid Application System can be divided into three sections as follows:

1)     Electrical Controls – A power switch is designed into the system that allows main power for the entire application system to be turned off and on as required.  Indicator lamps have been included to provide a quick reference of application system status.  The application system also incorporates the use of a liquid float to shut down the application system and alert the system operators when liquid is not flowing.  The use of relays, contactors, and fuses controls power to operate the pump, control valves, etc. and to provide protection to the entire application system.

2)      Chemical Application Control – The chemical application control includes the main components for the processing and decanting of liquid from the storage tank to  the application point.  The chemical is drawn from the tank via a top access suction tube, and then passed through the filter, pump, control valves and then supplied to the nozzles with compressed air at a set rate.  The flow rate and pressure are controlled by the system and are manually preset.  The main components in the chemical system include a liquid filter, pump, flow monitoring device, liquid control valve, liquid pressure gauge, and a pressure bypass.

3)      Air Control – The air control in the system controls the flow and regulation of compressed air from an external supply to the air atomizing spray nozzles.  The main components in the air control system include an air control valve, air pressure regulator, air filter, and an air pressure gauge
