Drainac® Drainage Rate Indication System is an on-line instrument that continually measures the drainage rate of your pulp. The output is a proportional 4-20mA DC signal. The unit consists of two major sub-assemblies; a detector and a detector control cabinet.

Hi, I’m here today to talk about a problem you may not even know you have.
Let me start by asking a few questions…
Let me put this a little more simply…
What if you could PREDICT good paper here
Instead of making BAD paper here?
Well, with the TECO Drainac, <switch>
You can. <pause> <switch>
The Drainac is the only freeness analyzer available today that will help you VISUALIZE, UNDERSTAND and EXECUTE without wasted time or wasted money. <pause>
Sounds pretty good, right?
<pause>
Lets’ dig a little deeper, but before I do that, let me tell you a little bit about myself…
<switch>
My name is Andre Rog and I am the Drainac Product Engineer. I’ve been with TECO for over 12 years and I have managed the Drainac for the last ten years.
In my time here, I’ve helped HUNDREDs of clients just like you find ways to make their production lines more efficient and capable of producing both better quality paper and at a lower cost per ton.
<switch>
The Drainac is the answer to your pain.
IT’s the fastest, lowest cost and most pain-free device of its kind available in the world today and its AWESOME.
With this simple, low cost instrument, you will revolutionize your process and realize a return on your investment so quickly you’ll wonder why you didn’t make this decision ears ago.
What’s your freeness?
Do you know?
Do you know what impact variable freeness has on your process every day? Put another way, do you know how much variable freeness is costing you?
<pause>
We asked some of our customers what their life was like before measuring freeness with Drainac, and this is hat they had to say…
I’m sure you can relate to this…
We operate on a simple principle…
If you can see something, you can manage it. That’s the VISUALIZE, UNERSTAND and EXECUTE we started with earlier…
<switch>
The Drainac will help you make more Saleable paper, improve machine efficiency and performance, and help you optimize the energy you’re putting into your stock
So, what impact would measuring freeness have on your operation?
<pause>
<wait for answers and discussion>
OK, so you’ve heard the pitch. Let’s talk about the details
Drainac has may applications in facilities like yours.
Some people use it for monitoring freeness and closing the loop on refiner control
Others use it for managing pulp blends and enhancing machine runnability.
The facility requirements are straightforward…
Let’s take a quick look at the Drainac system
This is the analysis riser. It’s the component that samples your stock and performs freeness analyses.
It’s available in several configurations, depending on your application. Typically, the riser is welded on your stock line, but can be mounted in an open chest or weir, or on the side of a hydrapulper.
This is the Drainac control enclosure. It houses the various electronics and pneumatics packages.
So how does the system work? Unlike other analyzers, we don’t try to automate the TAPPI 227 methodology. Instead, we use a proprietary technique that allows us to complete an analysis in as little as 20 seconds.
We create a pressure differential in the analysis chamber which forces stock into the riser.
The stock hits a screen which forms a pad, and only filtrate enters the analysis chamber.
We then measure the amount of time that that filtrate takes to fill a specific volume.
A customer had this to say about the Drainac…
Let’s dig a little deeper.
If we plot the height of filtrate in the riser as a function of time, this is what it looks like.
It rises quickly at first , because there’s nothing to impede the stock.
When it hits the screen, the pad begins to from and the response slows down. You’ll note the response isn’t linear at first. – this is mostly due to variable consistency is also the reason we don’t start measuring the filtrate right away. After the pad forms, the response steadies down and becomes largely linear. We measure the time between the two probes and that is our analysis time.
Faster slower, etc…
There are no moving parts to the Drainac, so it’s very easy to maintain.
<Switch>
Just periodically clean the screen and probes. How often you’ll need to do this depends on your stock, but most customers will clean their systems two to three times a week.
<pause>
Any questions?
<pause>
The Drainac isn’t the only way to measure freeness out there, but it blows the alternatives out of the water.
<switch>
Lab testing. Well, that’s slow.
Tappi Robots – very slow, complicated and very hard to maintain.
No testing at all – well, that’s no good, is it? If you can’t see it, you can’t control it.
Drainac is the only device that will allow you to VISUALIZE, UNDERSTAND and EXECUTE without wasted money or wasted time.
Here’s my favorite quote from a customer…<switch>
Here’s a short list of our customers.
Note that many of these are multi site installations. IP, GP and Rock Tenn, for example, have Drainac installed at several mills.
The Drainac is simple, and really, so is the choice.
Visualize, Understand and Execute.
See the problem, understand it and then you can plan a solution.
All with Drainac.
