Filling of dry chlorine products
Chlorine is a proven disinfection method. It is found in a wide range of disinfection products: chlorine granules or swimming pool powders, pipe cleaners, etc. Chlorine is however very aggressive. Even stainless steels are vulnerable. To avoid premature wear, it is necessary to use machines for filling of dry chlorine products, dedicated to this use. The same goes for alternatives to chlorine products. For example, the same machines condition active oxygen, chlorine and bromine neutralizers, filter cleaning products, bromine powder, alkaline detergents, etc.
Lines for filling of dry chlorine products must use suitable materials. Easily machinable plastics are often used: PVC, HDPE, HDPP, PEEK… In some cases, the use of stainless steel or aluminium is necessary. In the case of aluminium, it is necessary to carry out a surface treatment. The use of an epoxy paint is effective when well done. In the case of stainless steel, we are interested in its level of exposure: in contact, a few centimetres, metres… Depending on this level of exposure, the appropriate surface treatment will be chosen. Caution: do not consider only the parts in contact with chlorine. Fine particles can also cause damage.
The choice of material for seals is important. In the case of chlorine, viton is the most suitable material for direct contact with the product.
As for screws and bolts, peek should be chosen for parts exposed to splashes: they will be more durable than their stainless steel counterparts.
