Dosing cart system handles hazardous liquids

Liquid additive supplier ColorMatrix has launched a full dosing management system for liquids with properties that make handling difficult. These include liquids that are corrosive or toxic and those which are unpleasant to handle such as strong pigments and additives. The Metrix™ system provides a mobile cart solution, which may be used for a wide range of dosing applications, including the plastics industry.

Designed by UK-based Industrial Design Consultancy (IDC), the Metrix™ system has been created to eliminate problems of leakage and liquid recovery. The company adds that this ensures that all the liquid in the system is used with minimum wastage; a common problem with existing systems. IDC has also designed a container attachment component that prevents air getting into the system, which results in a more robust product with flawless operation, claims the designer. The dosing system itself takes 25 litre containers and has a dosing speed range of 0.021 to 3.5 ml/second.
