INOXPA SLES Dilution System (SLES-DE-10)

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is a surfactant widely used for the manufacture of cleaning products

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is a surfactant used in cleaning products, soaps, shampoos, and toothpaste.

Also used in the cosmetic and dermopharmaceutical industries due to its wetting and emulsifying properties.

Traditionally supplied at 70% or 27%.

Intermediate concentrations increase viscosity and handling difficulty.

Purchasing concentrated SLES reduces haulage and storage costs.

The SLES dilution unit:

• Enables dilution of concentrated SLES directly from the truck for storage at 27%.
• Allows stocking of concentrated SLES with dilution according to production needs.

Design & Features

• All system components are mounted on a bench with adjustable legs, facilitating floor positioning and maintenance.
• The equipment undergoes factory cabling and testing for swift commissioning.
• Fully automatic operation is enabled via PLC and a 9″ touch panel interface.
• A conductivity sensor ensures the concentration of diluted SLES meets specifications.
• The equipment’s control system allows communication with other plant elements using the Profinet protocol.
