  11. 80 DEGREES SYSTEM

  12. Why Choose KCI • KCI has over 6 years experience with 80 degree cleaning technology. • R&D improvements in detergent organic chemistry over the past three years. • Environment friendly using organics which are non-pollutants. • Chlorate phosphates cannot contain cleaners. • Both phosphates with a non-chrome seal can achieve 1,000 to 1,500 salt spray hours. • Over 17 customers with various operations are currently using the 80 degree system and saving thousands of dollars without forfeiting quality.

  13. Decrease in ENERGY Consumption. Natural Gas Savings can be in EXCESS of $70,000.00 annually. Production can start almost immediately. Two stages of cleaning versus one. System attacks lubricants that react better to alkaline or acid cleaners. Less time cleaning tanks and nozzles with organic versus chlorate or molly-phosphate. ADVANTAGES

  14. DISADVANTAGES • Additives may be needed to enhance cleaning. • Defoamers may be needed. • May need to increase temperature under special circumstances.

  15. IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY

  16. Previous System 5 Stage Low Temperature Pre-Treat System • Stage #1 - Alkaline Cleaner • Concentration of 2% to 3%. • Temperature of 120 F. • Stage #2 - Monitored • Stage #3 - Chlorate Accelerated Iron Phosphate. • Concentration of 2 to 3%. • Temperature of 120 F. • Stage #4 Monitored • Stage #5 Non Chrome Seal. • Concentration of 0.5 to 1.0%.

  17. New Technology 5 Stage 80 Degree Pre-Treatment System • Stage #1 - Alkaline Cleaner • Concentration of 1.5 to 2%. • Temperature of 80 degrees. • Stage #2 - Monitored • Stage #3 - Detergent Organic Iron Phosphate • Concentration of 1.5 to 2%. • Temperature of 80 degrees. • Stage #4 - Monitored • Stage #5 - Non-chrome seal • Concentration of 0.5 to 1.0%.

  18. Product Proposal 5 Stage Washer • Stage 1 - Spray Klene 5162 (Alkaline Cleaner) • Stage 2 - Rinse (Fresh Water) • Stage 3 - Liqua Phos 6906 (Iron Phosphate) • Stage 4 - Rinse (Fresh Water) • Stage 5 - Phos Rinse XL (Non-Chrome Seal)

  22. Process Control Equipment Signal Feedback To Controller Chemical Pump Chemical Feed Into Bath • When chemical concentration is below set-point: • - Controller signals pump to add chemical. • - Based on Time-Proportional-Control (TPC) • Improves bath consistency. • Less Chemical Waste Chemical Feed Into Pump Probe Pretreatment Bath

  23. KCI VERSUS....

  24. KCI KCI recommends a maximum of 80 degrees for cleaning. KCI recommends 1.5% to 2% by volume. Operating at 80 degrees with KCI Cleaner you get a nice blanket of foam. (Most operators like to see some foam because they know they have cleaner in the tank.) Competitors Recommendations of 125 to 140 degree cleaning Concentration of 2% to 3% by volume. Foam issues occur with competitors when used at temperatures below 115 degrees. KCI Versus Competition Stage 1

  25. KCI Versus Competition Stage 3 KCI • KCI organic phosphate must be maintained at 2.0% to 2.5% by volume. • KCI phosphate must be maintained at a pH of 4.3 to 5.5. • KCI phosphate is already pre-adjusted so no more consumption of phosphate is necessary with new Liqua Phos 6906. • KCI phosphate must be maintained at 80 degrees. • KCI phosphate must be maintained at 1.5% to 2%. Competitors • Recommended concentration of chlorate iron phosphate at 2.5% to 3.5% by volume. • Competition phosphate must be maintained at a pH of 4.5 to 5.2. • Competition phosphate pH has to be adjusted. (If too much pH adjustment is added to tank it can affect quality of product.) • Competition chlorate phosphate must be maintained at 90 to 140 degrees. • Competitions product must maintain concentrations of 2% to 4%.

  26. KCI Is The Only Show In Town KCI is the only company that has proved to be successful with cleaning and phosphatizing at 80 degrees. Other chemical companies are still utilizing 30 year old technology and few are able to formulate a successful low temperature cleaning and phosphatizing system. Many companies are trying to formulate products that clean and phosphate at under 100 degrees, but can not compete with KCI’s 80 degree clean and phosphate system. Some companies are trying to increase their concentrations dramatically in effort to lower the temperature, while KCI is the only company able to not only reduce the operating temperature, but also lower the concentration of the tank. With the rise in the cost of Natural Gas there will be no choice but to find an alternative solution in replacing the chemical products of yesterday. Now is the time to see how other companies have saved in excess of $70,000.00 annually on operating costs by switching to KCI’s 80 degree technology. In addition to the energy savings, KCI will be able to save dollars on chemical costs due to being able to operate at lower concentrations. I know it sounds too good to be true, but feel free to contact any of our customers. We are that confident!
