Advantages

  • Precise calculation of pickling times based on different operating points and temperatures.
  • Use of the extended "Kleingarn" diagram for optimal prediction and optimization of pickling times.
  • Possibility to compare and simulate different scenarios for more efficient pickling processes.
  • User-friendly thanks to intuitive operation, even for less technically experienced users.
  • Contribution to the reduction of material and energy consumption through precise control of pickling times.

The KVK PicklingTimer revolutionizes the way pickling processes are controlled in metal processing. This app allows users to evaluate pickling times based on specific operating points such as HCl and Fe concentrations, taking into account different temperatures.

  • Functionality and use

    The core of the KVK PicklingTimer is the small yarn diagram, which has now been extended to integrate the influence of temperature on pickling times. This enables a more accurate prediction and optimization of pickling times by identifying the optimal conditions across different temperatures.

Comparison and analysis

A key feature of the KVK PicklingTimer is the ability to compare pickling times at different operating points. Users can simulate different scenarios by testing different HCl and Fe concentrations and temperature settings. This helps to develop more efficient pickling processes by determining the optimum conditions for specific operating requirements.

Optimization and increased efficiency

By using the KVK PicklingTimer, companies can optimize their processes, increase productivity and reduce their operating costs. The precise control of pickling times leads to a reduction in chemical and energy consumption, which is not only economically but also ecologically beneficial.
