With applications like diecast machines, extruder lines and other machinery
employing process water, type ICW is used for general machine protection,
and type Safety is used for personnel protection.
The systems monitor intake and output of process water at the mould regulator
(Safety) or where the machine interfaces the process water supply (ICW), and
will detect leakage if a hose bursts or a coupling or fitting is leaky.
The systems will cutoff the water intake and request shutdown of machine and
mould regulator. Using type ICW, diecast machines may run unsupervised
production stints without risk of lengthy water leaks. If oil and traverse
coolers are supplied from the same connection as the regulator, type ICW
will monitor these as well.

The Safety system is designed to counter the risk of scalding of personnel
and operators in the event of a leak in the mould circuit, and therefore
solely serves the regulator. In addition to cutting off the mould circuits
in the event of a leak, the Safety system also performs a swift pressure
equalization to further minimize water egress at the point of failure.
Also, the Safety system is capable of detecting much smaller leaks than
the ICW.
The systems come in sizes from ½" to 2" and in versions for
various media qualities and additives. The systems employ DanTaet's patented
principles for leakage detection.
