Multi-channel process controller Ecopac EMC-15

modular

Overview The Ecopac EMC-15 is a basic process control system for textile drying that monitors and controls residual moisture, product surface temperature, dwell/fixing time and exhaust air humidity. The system features a modular architecture and supports simultaneous connection of up to three sensors (same or different types). Manufacturer: Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG.

Key features

• Single system controls essential drying-process parameters (moisture, temperature, dwell time, exhaust humidity)
• Ergonomic, user-oriented software with an intuitive graphical interface for visualization and control
• Modular hardware design for flexible adaptation to production and retrofits
• Control electronics located in the device base; optional separate control cabinet for remote installation

Customer benefits

• Consistent finishing results through closed-loop control of key process variables
• Optimised energy balance for drying processes via targeted parameter regulation
• Improved process efficiency and reproducible product quality for conversion and finishing lines

Sensors (examples of modules that can be connected)

• Textometer RMS — residual moisture control; moisture determined via fabric electrical conductivity
• Ecomat AML — exhaust air humidity sensor; analysis of oxygen, water vapour and harmful gases in the stenter frame exhaust
• Thermoset OMT — infrared pyrometer for surface/web temperature measurement
• Permaset VMT — infrared pyrometer for surface temperature; suitable for dwell/fixing time control

Application areas

• At the stenter frame
• In textile converting lines
• In textile finishing operations

Control cabinet The system control is integrated in the device base; an optional separate control cabinet can be installed at a suitable location in the plant to house the system control hardware and facilitate remote access and maintenance.
