a. Flow chart of the machine
This machine is composed mainly of nine parts:
The concept of such a machine appears to be pretty straightforward. But the interaction between the electrode, the electronic component and the salt delivery device makes it more complex. And a rather sophisticated process is needed to manufacture it in an optimal way at an industrial scale for a minimized price.
An additional option has been conceived to fill directly floor scrubber-dryers and hold higher stocks of additives.
b. Machine model
Moreover, it is important to ensure that at least four criteria are met:
- Ease of use (many SNW users want simplicity)
- Simple maintenance (for example the water purifier filter)
- Robustness / safety (water and electricity must co-exist without risk)
- Good water shelf life (plastic container / no metal. No light)
We produced a model of machine that is able to produce several recipes and enabling the user to choose the solution according to the anticipated usage.In addition, we plan to produce machine that could: In addition, we plan to produce machine that could:
In addition, we plan to produce machine that could:
- Be remotely controlled
- Produce bigger quantities
The machine is either fixed on the wall or installed on a table. The dimensions in cm are 50 width x 65 depth x 100 height. Weigh is 40 kg empty and 70 kg when the machine is full.
c. HydroClean™ product
The actual version of the machine can be customized to propose proprietary or tailor-made recipes. Depending on the needs of users the machine will propose one or several recipes.
The recipes are a combination of diluted electrolyzed water and a mixture of additives. This allows to reach different levels of disinfection, degreasing power, etc.
The SNW machine has been built to accommodate an array of 18 individual programs. A standard range of six products has been installed by default in the machine: a) light disinfection / spray 40-50 ppm (rooms and lobbies); b) heavier disinfection / spray 150 ppm (blood, toilets, kitchen), c) maximum disinfection / flask 500 – 1.000 ppm (intense usage to be tested: instruments? theaters?) and also d) cleaning & slightly degreasing / spray PH 8.5 (glass, windows), e) disinfection & degreasing / spray 150 ppm & PH 10.5 (kitchen, working tables), f) heavy degreasing / high concentration (floor-cleaning scrubber dryer vehicles).
However, our Swiss NeWater machine can be customized for each client, considering their specific needs, as well as their desired balance regarding specialization versus ease-of-use.
One example of recipe table is as follows:
Disinfectants:
- Spray Disinfectant 50: clean rooms and lobbies
- Spray Disinfectant 150: clean toilets and kitchens
- Flask concentrate 1000: clean intense usage
Degreasing:
- Spray “Glass”: clean windows
- Spray “Degreasing”: degrease table, rooms and kitchens
- Flask: used in scrubber dryer machine
d. Use of the Machine
The user will have to place a flask or a spray in the machine and press the button recipes in order to fill the container:
Once the container (flask/spray) is full, the user can get the product that is ready to use
