  • Patent number: 9421559
    Abstract: A chemical delivery system that delivers concentrated liquid chemical using a non-liquid motive fluid to deliver the concentrated liquid chemical in an undiluted form to a point of use. The concentrated chemical is delivered by the motive fluid by way of the aggressive interaction of a high-pressure jet stream of motive fluid causing a nearly complete local vacuum such that the concentrated chemical is drawn under low pressure into a jet vortex to form a chemical dispersion. Forming the chemical dispersion by way of this venturi eduction process occurs in a substantially continuous real-time manner allowing for multiple methods of controlling the total amount of chemical delivered and the rate in which it is delivered to the application device.

  • Patent number: 9339773
    Abstract: A chemical dispensing assembly having injector assemblies that combine a solvent stream with a concentrate stream within a Venturi injector assembly to produce a chemical solution outlet stream. Each injector assembly has an interchangeable metering assembly that limits the flow of concentrate into the Venturi injector assembly to change the resulting concentration of the concentrate within the solution outlet stream. The chemical dispensing assembly also has a keyed connector system that prevents the connection of the wrong concentrate container to the wrong injector assembly.

  • Patent number: 8678237
    Abstract: Chemical dispensing systems and related methods for precision handling of fluids including water and bulk chemicals. Representative chemical dispensing system can include wall mounted dispensing panels or portable, frame mounted dispensing units. These chemical dispensing systems provide easy access to all required interfaces including water, chemical, air, electrical and solution. The wall mounted dispensing panel can include a molded routing panel having molded recesses for mounting and managing specific air, fluid and control modules. The portable, frame mounted dispensing unit can include an onboard pump assembly for pressurizing a motive fluid. The frame assembly can include one or more lifting handles and adjustable feet to allow for easy transportation and placement of the portable dispensing unit.

  • Publication number: 20140042242
    Abstract: A chemical delivery system and related methods of use in which a multi-port manifold is utilized to distribute a plurality of mixed chemical solutions. The multi-port manifold includes a single fluid inlet for receiving a diluent supply that is routed to a plurality of individual outlet ports. A venturi injector module including a valve assembly, a venturi mixing assembly and a latch assembly is fluidly coupled to each outlet port for individually controlling flow of the diluent through the outlet port. The venturi mixing assembly generally comprises a quick-connect projection for coupling the venturi mixing assembly to the outlet port. The latch assembly functions to retain the fluid connection of the venturi mixing assembly and the outlet port. The latch assembly and venturi mixing assembly generally include corresponding portions of a keyway shape that ensures that only the proper venturi mixing assembly is attached to the proper outlet port.
