Maintaining Proper Concentration
Measure the concentration of liquid agents to maintain consistent levels.
Case
At a site where a casting mold release agent is managed by an in-line meter, it is a semiautomated process, where an alarm lamp will light to notify the workers of any abnomalities. With the introduction of in-line meters, it is possible to check numerical values and receive alarms without requiring the workers to be onsite. It will contribute to improve and detect lot errors caused by mold not separating properly.
Case
At a location where it is installed as a sensor on a mold release agent mixing and delivery system, it is used for the concentration control of the collection and recovery of the mold release agent after use and the flow of metal before flowing into the mold. In the past, conductivity meters were used, but because of the high maintenance due to deposits accumulating on the electrode, refractometers are now installed.

ys
In the process of making products such as cast-metal objects (casting), a chemical called a "release agent" is used to aid in smoothly and easily removing the product from the mold.
There are many advantages in managing the concentration of release agents.
If the concentration is low, product defects can occur, such as color stains on the product, or a section of the cast-metal object may chip off.
If the concentration is high, de-molding can become difficult, requiring force to remove the product from the mold, which can warp the product.
By managing the concentration of release agents, in conjunction with preventing defective products and errors, productivity can be improved.
