Colder Products Company Develops Chemical Dispensing System for Safer, Cleaner Car Wash Systems
DrumQuik(R) PRO minimizes spills and increases safety
ST. PAUL, Minn., April 8, 2008 /- The car wash industry was introduced today to the DrumQuik(R) PRO chemical dispensing system at Car Care World Expo. Colder Products Company (Booth #613) designed the DrumQuik PRO, a quick connect dispensing system that allows users to empty a container in a "closed" manner, to minimize leaks and spills inherent to the handling of detergents, sealants and polishes. The DrumQuik PRO is proven in multiple applications and markets, and is gaining the attention of the car wash and detailing industry.
According to a hazardous communications report published by the International Carwash Association and OSHA, "slips and trips are common in our industry, but preventable." The DrumQuik PRO delivers a closed chemical-dispensing solution for a safer, cleaner car wash community.
"The DrumQuik PRO was developed to provide chemical manufacturers, packagers and users with a safe, easy and economic system for managing fluids - making it a perfect fit for the car wash industry," said Thomas Braun, chemical business unit manager, Colder Products Company. "This system is an inexpensive solution for preventing spills and accidents - resulting in a positive impact on a company's bottom line and the environment."
The DrumQuik PRO chemical dispensing system is a low-cost, dip tube closure for bulk containers and a rugged coupler for end-use dispensing of chemicals. It has been DOT/UN tested and approved with common drums and IBC's. The DrumQuik PRO coupler can be connected via standard tubing to any pumping system. A convenient venting port is included to vent fumes or recirculate liquid back to the drum.
The drum insert assembly combines a typical bung closure (2-inch Buttress, 2-inch NPS & BCS 56x4 inch) with an integrated dip tube (available in a variety of lengths). The coupler is joined to the drum insert via an easy-to-use locking ring. Connection takes only a few seconds and an automatic shutoff valve prevents spillage when disconnected.
Gary Clancy, managing director at Container Technology, and an early adopter of the DrumQuik PRO system says, "Our customers want cleaner, safer systems. They demand and expect it, and both Container Technology and Colder make it a top priority. Our customers appreciate that we are working with Colder to solve their chemical storage, shipping and handling needs."
Container Technology and Colder envision a future industry standard in which every chemical drum contains a DrumQuik PRO dip tube. "My company's reputation and credibility depend on the products that we offer and I wouldn't settle for anything less than a top-quality solution," Clancy said. "The DrumQuik PRO system enables companies to focus on their core business - and put concerns about safety and transport hazards to rest."
