Low-Cost Chemical Transfer

Low-Cost Chemical Transfer SPRAYING Accessories 17-2-29 Loading spray tanks with the new CTR (stands for Chemical Transfer Rinse) system is simple, safe and inexpensive. Priced at under $500, it does the job of transferring chemicals (full or partial containers) direct from the container to the spray tank a lot cheaper than complicated competing systems, says the manufacturer. The compact CTR unit is 10.5 in. high, 6 in. wide at the base and weighs only 12 oz. It comes complete with water connections and is designed to transfer and rinse in one simple operation. A built-in spear pierces the foil seal on chemical containers, empties them and then rinses them. Traditionally, partial measures are transferred from chemical container to sprayer tank with a measuring jug ù an inefficient and potentially dangerous operation. The CTR, thanks to a special Partial Measure Cap that comes with it, makes the job simpler and safer, says the manufacturer. The special slotted rubber cap is screwed on over the container's intact cap and foil seal. The container is then inverted over the CTR and pushed down. The spear goes through the cap and pierces the foil. When the required amount has emptied out, the container is removed. The special Partial Measure Cap prevents loss of chemical from the inverted container as it's removed from the CTR.
