The use of concentrated cleaning agent is a
cost-effective solution. However, drag-out and/
or dilution can cause the concentration of the
cleaning agent to change over time, necessitat-
ing continuous monitoring of the bath. The
newly developed ZESTRON® Bath Analyzer
is an easy to use monitoring kit that can be
applied in just a few steps, with no specific
operator training required. The Bath Analyzer
is applicable for alkaline as well as pH-neutral
VIGON® and ATRON® cleaning agents.
