    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing of a product based on weight as a load cell (22) which supports a structure holding the product (20a) to be dispensed. The weight of the product (20a) that is dispensed is determined by use of a controller (23). A dispenser (200) dispenses an amount of concentrate using a diluent to form a use solution. The dispenser (200) includes a housing (201) having a cavity. A product holder (210) is positioned to support the concentrate in the cavity of the housing (201). A load cell housing (207) is operatively supported by the housing. More than one load cell (240) is positioned in the load cell housing (207). The product holder (210) is supported on the more than one load cell (240), wherein weight of the concentrate is determined. A dispenser (200) dispenses an amount of concentrate in a container (204) using a diluent to form a use solution. A dispenser includes a housing (201). A product holder (2 10) is positioned to support the container (204) with the concentrate in the cavity of the housing. The product holder (210) carried by a scale (240), wherein weight of the concentrate is concerned. A moveable container holder (215) is moveable between a first position and a second position. The container holder is positioned between the housing (201) and the container (204). A cover (216) is operatively connected to the container holder (215) at a connection. A cam surface is adjacent the housing (201). The cover (216) has a cam (216d) for contacting the cam surface (201 a), wherein when the cover (216) is moved from a closed position to an open position, the connection moves upward, thereby carrying the container holder (215) and the container (204) which are moved upward lifting the container (204) off of the product holder (210).

    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for creating a use solution of a concentrate diluted, with a dilution rate of not more than 1:130, into a diluent (12) flowing under pressure in a line (22). A normally-closed, user activatable valve (18) is operatively coupled in the line allowing the diluent to flow in the line upo n user activation. A flow regulator (26) is operatively coupled in the line downstream of the valve (18), configured to maintain a constant flow rate fo r the diluent in the line. A constant flow rate pump (32) having an inlet and an outlet is operatively coupled to the valve (18). The inlet is adapted to be operatively fluidly coupled to the concentrate (28). The outlet is fluidly coupled to the line downstream of the flow regulator (26).

    Abstract: A solution storage and dispensing apparatus and method of operation therefor are disclosed. The solution storage and dispensing apparatus includes a selector valve (68) and a control valve (62) which selectively output a liquid such as water to one of a plurality of storage containers (11a, 116, 11c, 11d). Each container (11) has an aspirator (26) mounted therein which receives the water and a chemical concentrate to form a solution therein. A container is filled by selecting the container using the selector valve and actuating the control valve to dispense water to the selected container.

    Abstract: A flowable material dispensing system that will dispense a flowable material into a container and stop dispensing when the proper level is reached in the container. The container has an actuating device that is used to open the valve on the container. As the flowable material flows into the container and reaches the top, flow stops.
