RD Industries

RD Industries is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of closed-loop dispensing systems. In the past, chemical concentrates were often mixed and dispensed manually by untrained personnel. As a result, toxic spills and workplace contaminations were common problems. In a combined effort with industry executives and packaging engineers, RDI developed an automatic, self-venting, closed-loop filling and dispensing system.

One of the primary components within the system is a patented, breathable membrane that allows gases to escape, relieving positive or negative pressure in the container. This automatic, self-venting feature assures accurate product metering and prevents costly mixing mistakes. The closed-loop SafTflo system provides spill containment and prevents loss of costly product. Filling and dispensing operations are cleaner and safer. With this proven technology, we can provide you with a safe, easy-to-use liquid dispensing system that meets your specific needs.

Chemical Containment

Commercial detergents for heavy duty washing of pots and pans in restaurants and food service establishments are sold in a concentrated form, to be mixed with water on-site. End-users and chemical makers need to protect employees from spills and contain the chemicals economically. Additionally, there can be confusion among products and systems which contain chemicals. Reducing potentially hazardous chemical spills and making the product easy to use is vital.

Chemical Protection

Goal: Reduce chemical spills in expensive concentrated handling products

How: Eliminate chemical spills and inaccurate measuring with a closed loop system

Results: Chemical protection, chemical containment in an economical use of product

Chemical Spills

In addition to preventing chemical spillage and wasteful mixing, the new chemical containment dispensing system is set up to assure that the product is dispensed. RD Industries Lock & Key system ensures that only the chemical protection dispensing valve will only mate with the metered chemical dispensing unit. Varying the height and the inside and outside of chemical spillage aperture and mating chemical protection mating plug allows RD Industries sufficient combinations to provide every product for every customer with a unique, proprietary key that will not allow another product to be attached. The new closed-loop chemical containment was introduced in 1998 and has had several upgrades in functionality.

The chemical containment system can be used for an upright bottle mixing station, where pre-calibrated dilution modules can be used for automatic dilution control. The chemical protection system can also be used for an inverted bottle mixing station, designed for a bag-in-box or inverted bottle application.
