Latest Patents

Matthew's latest patents include a "Liquid chemical dilution and dosing system" and a "Solid product static brake for solid block chemical dispensers." The liquid chemical dilution and dosing system relates to an apparatus and method for diluting a chemical concentrate. This invention achieves dilution control by monitoring two flow meters, comparing flow rate information, and adjusting the diluent flow to achieve a predetermined dilution of the chemical concentrate. An air push is used to deliver the chemicals to the utilization points, and a controller prioritizes requests from these points in a hierarchical fashion. The solid product static brake is designed for cast solid chemical block dispensing systems. It slows the downward movement of the solid chemical block during installation, preventing damage due to mechanical shock. The brake consists of a horizontal base frame and a series of rigid blade members that contact and slow the solid block as it falls into the dispenser.
