This crucial step is fully automated to guarantee the mandated 32.5% concentration, eliminating human error and ensuring batch consistency.
- Multi-Stage Filtration: Built directly into our units is a robust multi-stage filtration system that captures any particulates that may have entered the process. This meticulous filtration is vital for protecting the delicate SCR systems in vehicles and maintaining AdBlue quality.
- The Purity Mandate (316L Stainless Steel): Every component that contacts the AdBlue solution—from the tanks to the piping and pumps—is constructed using exclusively 316L stainless steel. This is a non-negotiable standard in our Turkish-made equipment, ensuring zero contamination from leaching metals, a fundamental requirement for ISO 22241 compliance.
By offering this level of integration, we simplify the investment decision. Our clients bypass the time, cost, and risk associated with sourcing components from multiple vendors and trying to force them to work together. They receive a turnkey AdBlue solution that is built to perform optimally from day one.
Securing the Raw Material Supply Chain
Our technological offering extends beyond the machinery to the most critical input: the urea. We understand that the purest machinery is useless if the urea is impure.
