Unleash the Power of the Batch Buster™ Softwash Metering Valve
Are you looking to elevate your softwashing game with a powerful and precise metering system? Look no further than the Batch Buster™ Softwash Metering Valve, the only valve specifically designed for softwashing by the pros at Southeast Softwash. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of building a blend manifold using the Batch Buster™, ensuring your system is optimized for maximum efficiency and accuracy.
What is a Blend Manifold?
A blend manifold, also known as a proportioner, is an essential component for softwashing that allows you to mix three different chemicals—water, soap, and SH (sodium hypochlorite)—in precise ratios. The key to a successful softwash system lies in the proper assembly of these components, and the Batch Buster™ makes this process seamless.
The Batch Buster™ Difference
The Batch Buster™ stands out as the first and only softwash-specific metering valve on the market. It’s designed with the unique needs of softwash professionals in mind, offering features that simplify your setup and enhance your system's performance. Unlike generic valves, the Batch Buster™ ensures that your chemical mixes are consistent, your flow rates are uniform, and your system is reliable even in harsh conditions.
Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Blend Manifold
1. Gather Your Components:
-
Batch Buster™ Metering Valves: You'll need three—one for bleach, one for water, and one for soap.
-
Mixing Block: Choose between aluminum or poly, depending on your preference.
-
Check Valves: Ensure these are in place to prevent cross-contamination between tanks.
-
Barb Fittings and Nipples: Sized appropriately for your system’s flow rates.
-
True Blue Sealant: For airtight connections.
2. Assemble the Manifold:
-
Attach the Barbs: Coat the first few threads of the barbs with True Blue and screw them into the mixing block.
-
Install the Check Valves: Ensure the directional arrow points toward the flow direction.
-
Mount the Valves: Attach the Batch Buster™ Metering Valves, making sure they are properly aligned.
3. Layout Tips:
- Place the bleach line on the far right of the manifold for effective flushing after each job.
- Position the water line at the farthest point from the outlet to ensure thorough purging.
- Orient the soap line in the middle and adjust the check valve to prevent contamination during flush outs.
4. Final Assembly and Testing:
- Secure all connections and mount the manifold onto your rig.
- Test the system for leaks and ensure your valves are functioning correctly.
