Chloride provide acid mixing & filling equipment to process acid for all the gravities required in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries.
Chem Resist Sulphuric Acid Dilution – Completely Automatic All Thermoplastic PLC Controlled Acid Dilution
Major savings can be made in the Lead Acid Battery industry by purchasing and transporting Sulphuric Acid in its most concentrated form and diluting it on-site at the battery manufacturing stage. Sulphuric Acid, however, has a great affinity for water and so the dilution process has a high exothermic heat of dilution - releasing large quantities of heat energy. Because of this, boiling of the resultant mixture can occur quite easily if the process is not carefully controlled.
It should be noted that, regardless of the proportions of the feedstocks and the final concentration, the mixture will always pass through the maximum exotherm (in excess of 145°C) at some point in the process. In the mixing and cooling areas, plant conventionally used to produce Dilute Sulphuric Acid from concentrated feedstock traditionally uses resin filled graphite, PTFE or glass for contact surfaces; these direct mixing designs suffer from severe thermal shock and thermal cycling associated with the relatively fragile and expensive materials. The results of these stresses can lead to high maintenance costs and significant plant downtime

COLLOIDAL SILICA -
GEL MIXING
The system is designed for mixing sulphuric acid with Colloidal silica
to a specific ratio. The machine consists off three cylinders, one for
acid and two for silica, with pistons inside and diaphragm valves in
order to control the charge and discharge from the cylinders.
A pneumatic cylinder is moving the pistons up and down thereby pumping
the solution of acid and silica through a static mixer and into a
holding tank. |

SF4-8S - AGM Battery |
SF4-8 fills AGM batteries
according to the vacuum principle with a preselected mass or volume per
cell. The machine consists of a stand with a 1500 mm belt conveyor, a
measuring unit, a filling unit and a lifting table. A tank equipped with
a pump, valves and level control is placed at the bottom of the stand.
All parts that come into direct contact with acid are made of PVC or PP,
EPDM, PE/HD and Hastelloy 267. Other parts, such as the stand,
cylinders, electric cabinet, etc., are made of stainless acid-proof
steel. |

| SF5-1 M - AGM Battery |
|
SF5-1 is
designed to fill AGM batteries with a specific acid volume. The filling
is semi-automatic and one cell at a time is filled. The machine is
typically used for test filling in the lab or in a small pilot
production. The electrolyte volume is measured by a flow sensor and the machine fills according to the vacuum principle. SF5-31 consists of a acid pump, a flow sensor, a vacuum pump with protection vessel, a volume vessel, an expansion vessel and filling station with filling nozzle, optical sensor and holder for the nozzle. The machine is mounted on a PVC plate which will be placed on the wall. A separate control cabinet is also included. |
