Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the wet treatment of laundry items in a cleaning device designed as a continuous washing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the US 5,272,893 A is concerned with maintaining an enzyme cycle for textile treatment, such as stonewashing.
  • the bath parameters such as the pH value and the temperature are monitored by appropriate measurements.
  • Quite different requirements are made in continuous washing machines, where the amount of unused treatment additives in the reusable treatment liquid to be determined.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for wet treatment of laundry in a designed as a continuous washing machine cleaning device, whereby a simpler measurement of used treatment liquid in terms of their at least one treatment additive is possible.
  • a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1.
  • used treatment liquid is reused from a continuous washing machine for prewashing and / or clear washing.
  • used treatment liquid can be used particularly effectively repeatedly.
  • the sample is branched off from the treatment liquid and measured. It is thus possible at an appropriate time to determine the condition of the treatment liquid. Accordingly, it is intended to divert a small amount of the used and reusable treatment liquid as a sample and to measure only this sample. This can be done "in situ". Since the treatment liquid is separated from the objects to be treated before reuse, the sample can be easily measured from the treatment liquid outside the purifier.
  • the measurement By diverting the sample from the treatment liquid prior to reuse, the measurement provides, in good time prior to reuse of the treatment liquid, the condition of the same giving measurement results. It is no longer necessary to measure the entire treatment liquid. As a result, a simple measurement technique can be used, which is geared to small amounts of sample.
  • the sample is filtered by microfiltration prior to measurement. By filtering only the small amount of sample, the process can be simplified. In particular, the measurement is reliable and more accurate possible. Because the sample contains only a small amount of the treatment liquid, it does not take all the treatment liquid before Measure to be filtered. The filtration of the sample containing only a small amount of liquid can be carried out quickly and economically. The sample can also be filtered using filtration techniques that are relatively slow but reliable.
  • the method provides for determining the remaining portion of the at least one treatment additive in the treatment liquid used and for metering the respective treatment additive in a targeted manner when a minimum proportion of the at least one treatment additive in the treatment liquid is not reached. In this way, it is ensured that the reused treatment liquid still has a sufficient proportion of the at least one treatment additive which is sufficient to clean the items of laundry with the reused treatment liquid.
  • the proportion of cleaning active substances, disinfectants and / or bleach-active substances still present in the used treatment liquid is determined during the ongoing treatment process. These are the essential treatment additives that must be present in the treatment fluid in a sufficient concentration to allow the treatment fluid to be reused.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the method provides that the sample is taken from the treatment liquid to be reused, after it has been returned to the cleaning device and / or a preparation tank for providing the treatment liquid to be reused for use in the cleaning device.
  • This procedure ensures that the treatment liquid in the state in which it is reused is measured for the desired properties.
  • the treatment liquid to be reused is mixed from differently used treatment liquids or both used and unused treatment liquids, the mixture resulting therefrom can be checked for suitability by the measurement described above immediately before the treatment of objects to be cleaned.
  • the sample is derived according to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention after the measurement, in particular the proportion of at least one treatment additive still present in the treatment liquid, for example in an outflow.
  • the treatment liquid from the pre-wash, the clear wash and / or from the rinsing process at least partially reused.
  • Treatment liquids from these treatment stages of the continuous washing machine are particularly suitable for reuse because they usually still contain a large proportion of unused washing-active substances.

  • the exemplary embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 with the embodiment of Fig. 2 the same reference numbers are used for the same parts.
  • the method of sampling, filtration and measurement is the embodiment of the Fig. 4 the same as in the embodiment of Fig. 2 , so turn to the explanations of the method of the embodiment of Fig. 2 Reference is made.
  • the reusable treatment liquid from the rinsing zone 38 and the dewatering device 74 is in the embodiment of the Fig. 4 not filtered and also not examined or measured in particular with regard to the content of unused washing-active substances.
  • the embodiment of the Fig. 4 only small samples of the treatment liquid to be reused from the first chamber 15 of the final wash zone 37, ie the fifth chamber 15 behind the inlet funnel 56, or preparation tank 54 after multiple filtering with different filter grades measured and optionally added additional treatment additives such as particular washing-active substances.
  • the Fig. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention, which differs from that of the Fig. 4 differs only in that a coarse filtration and then a microfiltration or ultrafiltration of the entire used treatment liquid before reuse and before returning to the preparation tank 54 and the first chamber 15 of the final wash zone 37 takes place. Otherwise, the embodiment corresponds to Fig. 6 that of Fig. 4 , wherein the same reference numerals are again used for the same parts.
  • Reserved treatment liquid stored in the buffer tank 66 from the prewashing zone 36 is stored while the buffer tank 68 receives used flushing liquid from the scavenging zone 38. Accordingly, here too, selectively or alternately used treatment liquid, namely pre-wash liquid from the buffer tank 66 or rinsing liquid from the buffer tank 68, the pump 69 and pumped from this through the coarse filter 60. From the subsequent pump 33, the coarsely filtered used treatment liquid is pumped through the filter 34 for micro- or ultrafiltration. The coarse and finely filtered used treatment liquid is then stored in either the buffer tank 70 or the buffer tank 71. In the buffer tank 70, the intermediate storage of filtered Vorwaschcroftkeit takes place and in the buffer tank 71 filtered rinsing liquid is buffered.
  • Coarse-filtered and micro-filtered treatment liquid is pumped out of the buffer tank 70 to the preparation tank 54 at the beginning of the continuous washing machine 35 via the supply line 72.
  • Coarse-filtered and micro-filtered treatment liquid in particular rinsing liquid, is pumped out of the buffer tank 71 via the supply line 73 to the fifth chamber 15, namely the first chamber of the final wash zone 37.
  • the removal of small samples from the reuse clear wash liquid at the beginning of the final wash zone 17 and the reusable treatment liquid in the preparation tank 54 is as in the embodiment of Fig. 4 made, namely roughly filtered and subjected to various measurements after microfiltration.
  • the proportion of unused washing-active substances in the reusable treatment liquid is determined.
  • the measuring device 29 preferably has various sensors, with which the interfacial tension, the oxidation-reduction potential, the alkalinity, the turbidity, the pH, the conductance, the peracetic acid content, hydrogen peroxide and / or chlorine of the re-use sample taken from the continuous washing machine 35 be determined.
  • the sample is preferably taken from the treatment liquid to be measured or analyzed, if this has the temperature required for the respective treatment of the laundry items, that is, has been appropriately heated or warmed up. Thereby, the measurement of the sample can be made in a state that the sample has for the treatment of the laundry items. If the measurement of the filtered sample has shown that a subsequent dosing of at least one treatment additive is required, at least once a subsequent dosing and a subsequent new sampling with a repeated measurement of this new sample.
