RW3

Every rinse tank. Always in spec.

Rinse water management for anodizing, electroplating, metal finishing and etch lines. Monitors pH, conductivity and temperature in up to 8 rinse tanks, with no pumps, and adds water only when the chemistry calls for it.

Comment ça marche

Sampled, measured,
replenished.

RW3 draws a sample from each rinse tank in turn, measures it in one patented probe cell, and sends water only to the tanks that need it.

Sample
0mechanical pumps

Pump-less venturi sampling.

Your facility’s existing compressed air creates a vacuum that gently pulls a sample from each rinse tank into the central measurement cell, then returns it with clean air pressure. No pumps to prime, no cross-contamination between baths.

Compressed airNo cross-contamination
Measure
3parameters

One cell, every tank.

pH, conductivity and temperature are read in one patented probe-centric cell. One sensor set and a single calibration point mean readings compare directly, tank to tank. The sampling interval is set from minutes to hours.

Water on demand, then off.

When a tank reads out of spec, RW3 opens its water valve and adds city or DI water until it is back at setpoint, then shuts it off. Water use follows actual drag-in, not a fixed flow.

Over-the-air PLC updates. Control logic is updated remotely as your line changes.
Rinse configurations

Running or batch rinse.
Both fit.

RW3 works with the way your line already rinses, whether rinse water runs continuously or is held and exchanged in batches.

Running rinseConductivity held at setpoint
Conductivity over time (illustrative)
  • RW3 adds water as conductivity rises
  • Displaced rinse water flows to the effluent tank
  • RT3 treats it continuously
Batch rinseConcentrate, then exchange in steps
Conductivity over time (illustrative)
  • At the limit, RW3 transfers a set volume out for treatment
  • It refills with fresh water, then samples again
  • Repeats until the bath is back in spec
One system with RT3

Rinse control and treatment,
working as one.

Pair the RW3 with an RT3 and the displaced rinse water is treated in the same loop, from rinse tank to discharge-ready water. Rinse chemistry stays at setpoint, water goes in only when it is needed, and the effluent stays consistent.

01RW3

Sample

RW3 reads pH, conductivity and temperature in every rinse tank.

02RW3

Replenish

City or DI water goes to any tank that reads out of spec, then shuts off.

03Effluent tank

Capture

The displaced rinse water is pumped to a common effluent tank.

04RT3 + SuperPac

Treat

Metals are removed to under 1 ppm, with zero sludge, for drain, evaporation or reuse.

One loop instead of separate systems.

Every RW3 reports to Metatrax. Readings from every tank are logged, out-of-spec events trigger email alerts with troubleshooting steps, and water use is tracked over time.

  • 24/7 monitoring pH, conductivity, temperature
  • Out-of-spec alerts Email, with troubleshooting steps
