Currently we service our markets from a base of three technological platforms:

Venturi

Venturi technology (the vacuum created by manipulating the speed of a stream of water) is used to mix chemicals with water. (Run simulation) The incoming water stream is restricted by a nozzle, while the speed of the outgoing water is decreased by the inverted funnel shape at the bottom of the venturi. The result is a vacuum in the middle, where the chemical is sucked into the water stream. The amount of chemical introduced is regulated by interchangeable metering tips that restrict chemical flow into the water stream. The device does not require external electricity, batteries, pumps, or air pressure; it works from ordinary line pressure available in most buildings.

Peristaltic

A peristaltic pump, or roller pump, is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube (squeeze tube) fitted inside a circular pump casing. A rotor with a number of "rollers" (spinner) attached to the external circumference compresses the flexible tube. As the spinner turns, the part of tube under compression closes (or "occludes") thus forcing the fluid to move through the tube. Additionally, as the tube opens to its natural state after the passing of the roller a vacuum is created and fluid is drawn into the tube.

We have introduced spring loaded spinners to our peristaltic pump product line. As the name indicates, with the spring loaded spinners the rollers are mounted on a spring. This innovative design helps overcome the variations in the tube wall thickness as the tube deteriorates over time. Irrespective of tube wall thickness and elasticity, the roller imparts the same amount of stress on the tubing resulting in dosing accuracy and consistency throughout the life of the squeeze tube.

Volumetric

Fluid (water)-driven volumetric injectors work on the principle of proportional positive displacement, ensuring that just the right amount of chemical is injected, regardless of pressure and flow, into the water flow.

Unlike traditional electric pumps, volumetric injectors eliminate the need for electricity and can operate in remote areas. They are easy to install and maintain—making them ideal for low-flow injection applications.

Volumetric injectors work in one of three motor/pump configurations. The rotary design, the piston configuration (Dosmatic) and the diaphragm motor (Chemilizer). In all three cases the water powered motor drives the action of the chemical pump, drawing the concentrate either in to an integral mixing chamber (Dosmatic) and then to the outflow, or along a chemical bypass tube (Chemilizer) directly in to the water line. The pump is either of a fixed or variable dilution ratio, enabling the user to determine the correct percentage of concentrate to water volume.

Here are just some of the benefits of using proportioning equipment:

    Environmental Friendliness:
    Automatic dilution helps prevent chemical "over-doses" from being dumped into sanitary sewers, or other places where they can harm water supplies. Also, this equipment makes using concentrated chemicals easier, and shipping concentrates uses less fossil fuel than shipping enough ready-to-use products to accomplish the same amount of work. There's also a lot less solid waste packaging to dispose of too.

    Safer work environments:
    By automatically mixing concentrates with water, workers don't have to lift heavy containers as frequently, reducing back strain, and their exposure to the concentrated chemicals is reduced as well. Properly diluted chemicals can also help to reduce "slip-fall" accidents by leaving surfaces clean without depositing a slippery residue.

    Increased productivity:
    Workers can spend their time cleaning, not measuring and mixing the solutions they need to perform their work. Training time is also shortened since workers don't have to learn to mix the products.

    Cleaner work areas:
    Consistent dilution of cleaners to the manufacturer's specifications helps concentrates work as they are designed to work. Overly rich mixtures can leave residues or even damage the cleaned surface. Overly weak mixtures can leave the "cleaned" surface unsanitary.
