How Does a Sodium Hypochlorite Generator Machine Work?
The machine operates on electrolysis technology, with two mainstream configurations to fit different industry needs - both designed for simplicity and low maintenance:
1. Salt Water Electrolysis (Most Common)
Raw Materials: Tap water + industrial salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) - easy to source and affordable.
Process: When electricity passes through the brine solution (water + salt), the electrolytic cell splits NaCl into sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). At the anode, Cl⁻ forms chlorine gas (Cl₂); at the cathode, Na⁺ reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH). These two substances combine to create sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), with concentration adjustable (4–80mg/L available chlorine) via salt input and electrolysis time.
2. Hydrochloric Acid Electrolysis (For Mild Disinfection)
Raw Materials: Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) - ideal for scenarios requiring low-irritation disinfection.
Process: Uses a diaphragm-free cell to convert HCl into slightly acidic hypochlorous acid (HClO, pH 5.0–6.5), safe for skin and food contact without corroding equipment.

FAQ:
1: What type of salt is needed for a sodium hypochlorite generator machine?
Use industrial-grade sodium chloride (NaCl ≥99.5% purity) - avoid table salt (contains iodine, which causes electrode scaling). We provide a list of trusted salt suppliers globally.
2: Can the machine work with hard tap water?
Yes. All models have a built-in pre-filtration system to remove impurities. For extremely hard water (calcium carbonate >300mg/L), we offer an optional water softener accessory (compatible with all models) to protect electrodes.
3: Is the machine noisy during operation?
No. The electrolysis process is quiet - noise levels are <50dB (equivalent to a home refrigerator), making it suitable for indoor use (e.g., food factories, clinics).
4: Do you offer after-sales service for international customers?
Yes. We provide 24/7 online technical support, 1-year free warranty (covers electrodes and control panel), and global spare parts delivery (arrives in 3–7 days for major regions).
