Description
PREPARING MILK OF LIME
DSL lime milk plants represent the ideal solution for the industrial preparation of mixtures and suspensions based on water and hydrated lime or lime hydrate (Ca(OH)2) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with concentrations that can vary from 3% to 15%. Lime milk is a product used in many sectors, including building (construction), agriculture, chemistry, ecology and food industries; among the most common applications are: the neutralization of pollutants in liquid effluents (dirty water treatment), improvement of acid soils, preparation of agricultural pesticide mixtures, desalination, certain food production processes, and the cooling of rock-cutting equipment.
LIME STORAGE AND DISSOLUTION
The plant consists of one or more silos for storing hydrated lime and a DLS dissolver with an internal agitator, into which water and lime are fed. According to the estimated consumption and the characteristics of the installation site either traditional vertical monolithic, telescopic, modular panel silos or EUROSILO horizontal silos with low environmental impact can be chosen. The dissolver is equipped with a paddle or marine propeller agitator, which ensures homogeneous dution of lime in water and prevents lump formation. It is supplied with inspection hatches, overflow outlet, dust vent with filtering system, and lifting hooks. The plant operates autonomously, according to preset parameters and levels, based on the required weight ratios and concentrations for the downstream process.
VOLUMETRIC DOSING AND ELECTRONIC WEIGHING
The plant can operate either in batch mode or continuously, and the system can be managed by timed volumetric control using level sensors, or by gravimetric electronic weighing with load cells operating by weight reduction.The electronic weighing system ensures high dosing accuracy, uniform mixing, and consistent results, detecting and correcting potential issues such as bridging inside the silos that may prevent lime discharge. The system also allows for monitoring and recording the total consumption of lime and water, providing complete process control.
