Blue-White Chem-Feed Plastic Skid Industrial

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Chem-Feed® Engineered Plastic Skid System. The system is designed with the necessary components to safely inject liquid chemical into a system. Your Chem-Feed® Engineered Plastic Skid System is pre- configured based on your selections via the matrix or when designed with our engineering staff.

Please Note: Your new Chem-Feed® System has been pressure tested at the factory with clean water for a minimum of four hours before shipping. You may notice trace amounts of clean water in the system. This is part of our stringent quality assurance program at Blue-White Industries.

Features

Chem-Feed® Engineered Skid Systems were designed and engineered using solid modeling tools for superior piping installation and easy component maintenance. Custom engineered universal mounting blocks and pre-machined mounting slots provide for easy component servicing and replacement. Each factory built and tested system can include the following components:

Pressure Relief Valve – Protects the system from over-pressurization, 5-150 psi setting range, 150 psi maximum system pressure. Ships on all systems.
Check Valve – Protects the user from back-flow during pump maintenance. Ships on all systems.
Flow Verification Sensor – S6A accurately verifies chemical feed. Exclusive to Blue-White®. (Optional)
Inlet Y Strainer – Protects system components from damage cause by dirt or debris.
Calibration Cylinder – Confirm pump output under system conditions. Specify cylinder volumes from 1.6 GPH to 64 GPH.
Pulsation Dampener – Protect the system components from pulsation. Recommended for diaphragm pump systems. Not recommended for peristaltic pump systems. (Optional)
Pressure Gage with Guard – Isolate and protect the system pressure gage. Specify pressure ranges from 0-30 psi, 0-100 psi, or 0-200 psi. (Optional)
Pressure Switch with Guard – Activate or de-activate equipment when pressure in a piping system either rises or falls to a set pressure. (Optional)
Back-Pressure Valve – Protects the user from siphon or back-flow, and maintains consistent pressure on pump. Typically used on diaphragm pump systems. (Optional)
Terminal Box – Pump signal wiring is pre-wired to NEMA box for easy access and connection to facility wiring. (Optional)
Electrical Outlet Box – Plug pumps into convenient weather resistant box.
Mounting Pads – Stainless Steel mounting pads to secure Chem-Feed® System to a solid surface. Designed for floor mount or wall mount.
Corrosion Resistant – Chem-Feed® frame constructed of chemically resistant polyethylene.
Drip Tray – To collect chemicals and prevent spills.
