Tank Farm Platform
The tank farm holding the chemicals is positioned as the starting point of the system.
Overview
Profix C is an automation system developed to automatically dose the liquid chemicals used in the dyehouse production process and distribute them to the dyeing vessels. The system dispenses chemicals in the correct amounts and distributes them to the vessels over a single line.
Working in sync with dyeing machine control devices and software, it minimises the time and effort spent on chemical ordering. Thanks to its touchscreen and user-friendly interface, operations can be monitored and reported online.
System Structure
PE Polyethylene Tanks
PE polyethylene tanks are used for chemical storage and the chemicals are stored in this area.
Profix L Level Monitoring
The Profix L automatic chemical level monitoring and manual filling unit helps track tank levels.
PVC / PPRC Piping
PVC/PPRC piping runs between the tank farm and the Profix C dosing and distribution unit.
Profix C Control Panel
Dosing, distribution, monitoring and reporting are managed from the 12” touchscreen control panel.
SS316 Stainless Piping
SS316 stainless piping with dedicated valves is used between Profix C and the dyeing vessels.
Highlights
Accurate Chemical Dosing
Ensures the chemicals needed for production are dispensed in the correct amounts, helping the process run under better control.
Single Line Distribution
Chemicals are distributed to the dyeing vessels over a single line, making the distribution process more orderly.
Online Monitoring and Reporting
Thanks to the touchscreen and user-friendly interface, all operations can be monitored online and consumption and ordering reported.
Investment and Efficiency Impact
When assessed together with the distribution unit, tank farm and piping, a chemical automation investment can be comparable to an average machine investment. In a dyehouse with around 20 machines, adding one machine yields roughly a 5% capacity increase.
The system also helps deliver visible savings in chemical, labour and energy costs and improve dyeing and process quality. Its components, designed for 24-hour operating flexibility, support production continuity.
