Colder Products Company Announces Enhancements to Its Popular DrumQuik® PRO Dispensing System
New DrumQuik PRO Product Line Expansions are Easy to Use and Enhance System Safety
St. Paul, Minn. - October 30, 2007 - Colder Products Company announced today at the Chem Show in New York City that the company is introducing a series of product line expansions and enhancements for the DrumQuik ® PRO quick connect, diptube closure for jerry cans, drums and IBC's which facilitates dispensing in a "closed" manner; free from contact with media and fumes.
Colder is demonstrating the product enhancements at the Chem Show, October 30 - November 1, in booth # 836. Chem Show attendees will have the opportunity to meet with Colder experts and discuss the newly upgraded DrumQuik PRO chemical dispensing system for chemical and packaging industries.
The enhancements include a 2" National Pipe Straight Thread (NPS), also known as ISO G2x11.5, thread size which is compatible with steel drums and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and an array of backflow check valves and foot valves for added safety and critical process control.
Additionally, Colder is introducing an easy to use physical keying system for the DrumQuik PRO to help prevent misconnections.
"The updated options and enhancements are a direct response to what our customers have told us they need," said Thomas Braun, business unit manager, Chemical Handling, Colder Products Company. "We're offering a huge upgrade in efficiency, safety and versatility for organizations in fields from food packaging to chemical manufacturing."
The new 2" NPS thread will give steel drum and IBC users access to the safety benefits of the DrumQuik PRO system. Approximately 50 percent of the millions of drums and IBC's in circulation in the United States and the rest of the world are steel and require 2" NPS (G2) thread connections. Colder's product update offers a significant increase in flexibility for its customers using these drums.
In addition, users will now be able to prevent misconnections of incompatible media using the new physical keying system. The user friendly physical keying system is an extension of the convenient color coding feature launched in 2006. The color coding and physical keying systems are easy to install on new and existing DrumQuik PRO systems, making it a low cost and flexible way to implement safety at drum suppliers, chemical packagers or in critical end user applications.
Finally, Colder has added to their backflow check valves and foot valves offering. The valves are now available in a variety of sizes and materials so that customers can prevent liquid from flowing back into the drum. This feature increases worker safety.
"Maintaining a prime in a hazardous fluid system keeps the liquid right at the point of dispense and avoids dangerous disruptions in a critical process," said Braun. "Back flow check valves and foot valves ensure proper function and help users avoid loss of prime that could disrupt the flow of critical media to the end process."
Ideal for single use applications, DrumQuik PRO is made from FDA approved, virgin polyethylene and polypropylene materials that are compatible with most general chemical uses, including food handling, fragrances and flavorings, paint and coatings, pharmaceuticals, water treatment chemicals, car wash soaps, industrial laundry detergents and janitorial supply.
Colder Products Company, a world leader in the design and manufacture of quick disconnect couplings, will debut the DrumQuik PRO product line enhancements at the Chem Show (Booth # 836) in New York City, October 30 - November 1.
