ControlFreek: Ensuring Quality and Efficiency

ControlFreek Inc. has played a vital role in optimizing Honeywell’s critical purification processes. In 2012, CFI designed and implemented a key cooling system to remove particulate matter from the material stream. This system utilizes a chiller, a circulating pump, and a sophisticated cooling loop controller to maintain precise temperature stability. A Schneider Electric Zelio® Logic 2 smart relay within the chiller panel monitors critical tank parameters, triggering alarms if temperature or level thresholds are breached. The intelligent alarm system ensures prompt attention to any issues, minimizing downtime.

Building on this success, CFI was again engaged in 2015 to design and implement a pump control panel for four new material tanks. This panel also features a Zelio® Logic 2 smart relay for I/O, coupled with four Altivar™ 212 variable speed drives to precisely control the centrifugal pumps. CFI provided on-site installation and startup services, ensuring seamless integration with Honeywell’s existing infrastructure.
