Ecochlor manufacturing facility manufacturing cell
Maynard, Mass., headquartered Ecochlor records that, because of a substantial upswing in orders for its ballast water monitoring system (BWMS), its production companion, ProFlow, Inc., has actually opened up a brand-new manufacturing facility in North Haven, Ct., for manufacturing of the chlorine dioxide generator utilized in the system.
ProFlow had the ability to rapidly enhance manufacturing ability and also performance by including LEAN production treatments while preserving its ISO 9001 accreditation.
The brand-new manufacturing facility will certainly be specifically utilized to make the generators, which ProFlow has actually been developing for Ecochlor considering that 2001.
“This past year we have seen increased orders from Ecochlor, so our manufacturing volume had to grow to match the high demand,” claimed Kurt Uihlein, President of ProFlow. “With this extra manufacturing facility area, we have the ability to relocate from one-off personalized shipments to quantity manufacturing setting up cells.

The Ecochlor BWMS utilizes a two-step therapy procedure– purification adhered to by chlorine dioxide. The system’s efficiency is not hindered by variants in salinity, temperature level, turbidity, organics, and also resonance. The computerized system is crew-friendly, has reduced power intake and also is fit for mid-sized vessels with to the biggest ships on the planet. There is no therapy or neutralization on discharge. Ecochlor BWMS has IMO and also USCG Type Approva.
