designed for car washes, whilst further developing its existing ones, such as the EvoClean laundry dispenser.
Hydro’ s catalogue features a range of cutting-edge products and systems. Its Venturi Dispensers, for instance, are particularly popular due to their easy, environmentally friendly operation and versatility. The Venturi technology utilizes a vacuum, which is created by manipulating a stream of water, which controls the chemical flow into the stream. Hydro’ s water-driven pumps work in a similar way; a diaphragm or piston assembly is activated by a water flow, which connects to a pump and triggers the chemical injection via a motor.
If the application requires multiple different fluids to be pumped at once, such as in a kitchen or laundromat, Hydro’ s peristaltic pumps provide an effective solution. A type of positive displacement pump, Hydro’ s
peristaltic pumps are programmable and not affected by changes in water pressure, offering a more tailored approach to dispensing. The productivity and efficiency of the peristaltic pump can be enhanced even further when used in conjunction with Hydro’ s digital controllers. Specifically designed for laundry applications, the technology controls the dispensing of chemicals to multiple machines at once, programmable as required. The controllers are also able to provide realtime reporting, helping its end users to closely monitor the process and make adjustments where needed. Hydro’ s central dosing systems also offer a similar solution on a much larger scale – such as in commercial or industrial laundry operations – allowing many different chemicals to be dispensed to separate machines at once without the need for squeeze tubes, lowering maintenance costs and heightening efficiency.
As well as increasing efficiency and productivity, Hydro’ s systems offer an
