Award-Winning J-flexTM/MC
Ready-To-Dispense System Provides Greater Safety
Accuracy and Cost Savings
Team Consulting Ltd, a leading product design
and development consultancy, today announced a
new dispensing system for concentrated cleaning
chemicals designed in collaboration with JohnsonDiversey
won an award for Technical Innovation at the UK
Starpack 2004 awards held on 30th March. The acclaimed
dispensing system has been launched in the US
with initial sales greatly exceeding targets.
The new system is now available in the UK and
other European markets. Diluting cleaners and
disinfectants at the point of use can be a challenge.
Whether you want to fill a large floor-cleaning
machine or a hand-held trigger spray, it is important
that the correct dilution ratio is achieved and
filling completed easily and safely.
Team and JohnsonDiversey developed the system
to meet this need. This low cost, maintenance-free
disposable dispensing head and bottle system costs
around 20 times less than conventional dispensing
technology whilst delivering added functionality.
The chemicals are provided in stable, easy-to-handle
bottles with a dispensing head attached. The user
attaches the dispenser to the mains water supply
with a hose using a standard garden hose connector,
and can alter the water flow rate as appropriate
for bucket fill or trigger spray fill, for example.
The dilution rate is set by the manufacturer,
and will be highly accurate over a range of water
pressures. "Boost" and "rinse"
facilities are provided to enable the user to
increase the concentration of the product for
difficult cleaning jobs and to dispense plain
water when required.
The concentrated chemical products are contained
safely, with tamper-resistance, and an anti-siphon
mechanism prevents contamination of the water
supply.
Other benefits of the J-flex system include:
- Greatly reduced product costs (and packaging
waste) compared with 'ready diluted' product
- Greatly reduced storage and transport requirements
due to small size compared with 'ready diluted'
product (up to 1/500th the volume compared with
similar products)
- Disposable product: no capital installation
costs or maintenance needed
- User cannot use the wrong dilution rate by
accident
- Bottle and dispenser integrated so the user
has no contact with potentially hazardous chemical
concentrates
- Enables dilution ratios between 1:5 and 1:1000
* Minimal training required.
