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 includes the following standard components:

Pressure Relief Valv e – Protects the system from over-pressurization, 5-100 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®.
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 32 GPH.
Pulsation Dampener – Protect the system components from pulsation. Recommended for diaphragm pump systems. Not recommended for peristaltic pump systems.
Pressure Gage with Guard – Isolate and protect the system pressure gage. Specify pressure ranges from 0-100psi, or 0-200 psi.
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 polyester powder coated 6061 T6 aluminum. Welded joint construction.
