Dosmatic Introduces MiniDos and SuperDos Peracetic Acid (PAA) Injector Series for 2010. New injectors optimize use of peracetic acid for disinfecting and sanitizing.


Carrollton, Texas – January 22, 2010 – Dosmatic U.S.A. / International, Inc. (www.dosmatic.com), the technology leader in non-electric, fluid-driven, proportional injectors and dispensing pumps, introduced today its new MiniDos and SuperDos injectors for use with peracetic acid (PAA). This series includes the (MiniDos 12 GPM, 0.4%), (SuperDos 20 GPM, 0.3%), (SuperDos 30GPM, 0.3%) and (SuperDos 45 GPM, 0.3% models). 
Increasingly, professionals are turning to peracetic acid for disinfection, sterilization and microbial control, using it to sanitize food and food service equipment, treat and purify water, prevent bio film formation and kill Legionella bacteria, among other applications. Peracetic acid kills microorganisms through oxidation and the subsequent disruption of their cell membranes. It can damage almost all types of macromolecules associated with a microorganism, leading to cell lysis and true microbial death. However, the oxidizing properties that make peracetic acid so effective also present challenges to the delivery systems used to dilute and dispense it.
In response, Dosmatic’s new MiniDos and SuperDos PAA injectors offer an appropriate and cost-effective dispensing system coupled with the largest flow ranges on the market. To protect dispensers from chemical damage, Dosmatic PAA injectors are designed with Kalrez® O-rings and seals. In addition, a Teflon® chemical induction tube has been added, which further strengthens and protects the injection system.
 “PAA is one of the strongest oxidizing agents and fast becoming the dominant food and surface sanitizer in use today,” noted Tony Abrams, North American Industrial Sales Manager for Dosmatic. “Our new PAA series addresses the need for a simple, accurate and affordable solution to PAA dispensing.”
“We tested other, less-expensive seals but kept coming back to the Kalrez option because nothing else resists the aggressive, corrosive nature of PAA like it does,” Abrams added. “With effective plant sanitation critically important to a facility’s food safety net, plant managers need a practical, flexible PAA or other disinfectant dispensing system that will be operational day in and day out.”

Dosmatic’s PAA injectors also take advantage of patented mixing chambers, which employ a one-way gasket, prevent chemical contact with the motor piston and reduce motor wear. Proportional injection and this pioneering mixing chamber ensure a precise mixing of water and injected chemical. What’s more, PAA models in the MiniDos and SuperDos injector series can adjust injection ratios while in operation and accommodate flow ranges up to
45 GPM (205 l/m).
Because of differences in plant operations and the PAA concentrations they use, Dosmatic consultants first determine each customer’s application, concentration and requirements before recommending any Dosmatic PAA injector. Like all Dosmatic® products, its PAA injector series is backed by a limited three-year warranty — the best in the industry.

The Twist II Clean series represents a significant breakthrough in solid filtration. The patented filter technology allows for five second cleaning without disassembly. These products are specifically designed to prevent equipment and system damage from suspended solids and sediments in a water system and are required for injector warranties. At half the price of automatic black flushing systems, these filters are the most cost-effective manual back flush system available.

Winter is Coming

With many parts of the US and Canada having experienced their first frost of the year, it’s time to think of protecting your very valuable injectors from Winter freeze damage. If you plan to keep your injector in your water line you must consider keeping the area where it is installed from freezing temperatures, if not remove and store as mentioned in a earlier post. Even if you drain your system you will mostly likely still have some water remaining that can cause freeze damage requiring repair or in the worst case replacement. Protect your investment by removing your injector if at all possible. If you have installed it using the suggested three valve pass system as shown in your owners manual it will be easy to remove and reinstall once warmer weather returns. If you have any questions about the best way to maintain your injector contact us and we will be happy to help!

Inyeccion Remota

Kit de Inyección Remota de Dosmatic

Éste es el video del Kit de Inyección Remota de Dosmatic, el cual está conectado al inyector en operación. Nuestro video mostrará el químico siendo succionado e inyectado en el agua/sistema fluído, haciendo un puente sin pasar por la cámara de mezcla y el motor pistón. Como nuestros clientes han descubierto, el kit de inyección remota en algunas aplicaciones extiende la vida útil del motor del inyector y permite la inyección multiple de químicos en el agua/sistema fluído.

El kit de inyección remota debe ser utilizado en —-
· En serie, cuando multiples químicos son inyectados en un sistema de agua/fluído.
· Cada inyector administra químico en el sistema fluído, al mismo tiempo que hace un puente pasando al siguiente inyector y eliminando el potencial de daño al segundo inyector en serie.
· Para incrementar la efectividad del químico principal como el fertilizante o el cloro. En serie, el segundo inyector dispensará el químico principal. El primer inyector adaptado con el kit de inyección remota puede ser utilizado para control de alkalinidad o ph con el objetivo de obtener la eficiencia máxima del químico principal. Ver diagrama de inyección remota. diagram

§ Para prevenir la acumulación de minerals en el motor. Químicos como el cloro causaran acumulación, por lo tanto es mejor inyectarlo directamente en el agua usando el kit de inyección remota.

§ Y Finalmente, para prevenir daños al motor cuando químicos agresivos son inyectados.

Recuerde: cuando inyecte mas de un químico, siempre refiera al manual de referencia del químico para su correcta aplicación.

Storing your injector

To store your injector when not in use for a long period of time, find a 5 gallon bucket of water and put the injector in the container so it will remain wet and moist, this is to keep the seals and plastic pliable, also store this in an area where it will not freeze. When season starts just drain the injector and your ready to go. If you forget to put it in a bucket of water, you will have to fill the unit with water and let it soak for 24-48 hrs before start up.

MiniDos Remote Injection Demonstration

Dosmatic Remote Bypass Kit

This is the Dosmatic video of our Remote Bypass Kit, which is attached to an injector in operation. Our video will show the chemical being pulled and injected straight into the water/fluid system, while bypassing the mixing chamber and motor unit. As our customers have discovered, the remote injector kit in some applications extends the life of the injector motor and allows multiple injections within the water/fluid series.

The Remote Bypass kit attached to your injector should be used—

  •  In a series, when multiple chemicals are injected into a water/fluid system. Each injector adds chemical to the fluid system, while bypassing the next injector and eliminating the potential damage to that injector.

  • To increase the effectiveness of the primary chemical such as fertilizer or chlorine. In a series, the second injector will dispense the primary chemical. The first injector with the remote injector kit attached can be used to control alkalinity or ph with the goal of achieving maximum efficiency of the primary chemical. See Remote Bypass Kit diagram

  • To prevent mineral buildup within the motor unit. Chemicals like chlorine will cause mineral buildup, so it is better to inject it directly into the water system using the remote injector kit.

  • And finally, to prevent injector motor damage when injecting aggressive chemical.

Remember: when mixing more than one chemical, always refer to your chemical manufacturer information guide for proper application.
