Abstract:
Disclosed is a dispenser (10) for a solid chemical (13) and a method of dispensing the chemical (13). Water enters via an inlet line (22) and is sprayed from a spray nozzle (21), so that the solid chemical (13) is dispensed in the form of an aqueous chemical solution via outlet line (17). The solution's concentration is adjustable by varying the distance between the spray nozzle (21) and the exposed dissolving surface of the chemical (13). A pair of cam members (50, 51) adjust the vertical position of the solid chemical (13) with respect to the spray nozzle (21). In a preferred embodiment, a visual indication of the concentration settings is provided, with the concentration settings corresponding to the nozzle-to-eroding surface distance.
Abstract:
A solid product static brake (10) is provided which is employed in cast solid chemical block dispensing systems for slowing a generally downward gravitationally driven movement of the solid chemical block when placed or installed in a chemical dispenser. The brake provides the ability to prevent the destruction of the cast solid during installation due to mechanical shock. The static brake comprises a horizontal base frame (12), and a plurality of rigid blade members (18) extending from the base frame in a generally perpendicular direction. When a new solid block is installed, the blade members contact and slow the solid block as it falls into the dispenser.
Abstract:
L'invention se rapporte à un système nettoyant alcalin comprenant une composition détersive alcaline dont le pH est supérieur à 10,5 lorsqu'elle est diluée dans 1 % en poids d'une solution aqueuse, et une pellicule polymère alcaline, continue et stable, dispersible ou soluble dans des liquides aqueux, recouvrant la composition détersive. L'invention comprend aussi des procédés d'utilisation du système nettoyant alcalin, et qui consistent à appliquer automatiquement (par l'intermédiaire d'une machine), ou manuellement, un diluant aqueux jusqu'à la dissolution partielle ou complète du solide recouvert par la pellicule.

The spray nozzle's position is adjusted by means of a screw jack (68), a push-pull cable (93), a solenoid (100), or a lever (117).
Abstract:
A multiple product dispensing system (100) includes a plurality of use solution dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) and a controller (110) for selecting one of the dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) according to a preset regimen, e.g., selecting different dispensers on different days of the week. Each dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) dispenses a controlled concentration of use solution using a diluent delivery apparatus (13) that delivers a diluent to form a liquid concentrate from a solid chemical composition (22), and to form make-up diluent for diluting the liquid concentrate and forming a use solution of controlled concentration. A foam reducer (24) reduces the kinetic energy of the make-up diluent prior to mixing with the liquid concentrate to reduce foaming. An unskilled operator may operate the dispensing system (100) to dispense a use solution of carefully controlled concentration, and the controller (110) will automatically select the proper dispenser according to the preset regimen, without any additional input on the part of the operator. Therefore, the likelihood of operator error occurring is greatly reduced by the automatic selection of the proper dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) and the control over use solution concentration.
Abstract:
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de freinage (10) pour produit solide, ce dispositif étant utilisé dans des systèmes distributeurs de blocs solides moulés de produits chimiques pour ralentir un movement descendant, sous l'effet de la gravité, d'un bloc solide de produit chimique alors qu'il est placé ou installé dans le distributeur. Le dispositif de freinage prévient la détérioration du produit solide moulé par un choc mécanique au cours de son installation. Le dispositif comprend une structure de base horizontale (12) ainsi qu'une multiplicité de lames rigides (18) s'étendant dans une direction généralement perpendiculaire à partir de la structure de base. Lorsqu'un nouveau bloc solide est installé, les lames entrent en contact avec ce dernier et le ralentissement alors qu'il tombe dans le distributeur.

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, 11b, 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.
