New dosing system for all kinds of
fluids
Nutrient International in The Netherlands has developed a new dosing system for all kinds of fluids, named Nutriflow
This system consists of three separate parts, a control-box with operator display, a pump-unit and the interconnecting signal cable Because the control-box and the pump-unit can be separated, the pump-unit can be placed in the warehouse, while the control-box can be remotely mounted in the operator control room

Controller brings flexibility in motor protection
The new ABB Universal Motor Controller, UMC22, offers a powerful and flexible intelligent control device for motor protection applications, and is designed for use with the new ABB Fieldbus Plug
It is also possible to put the control-box on top of the pump-unit.
All the system needs is a 110 or 230 V mains electric connection and an air supply pressure of 6 bar (90 psi).
The system uses no flowmeter: by using the inbuilt calibration programme it has an accuracy of +/- 10 gram (0.35 ounces) in total.
Pump cycles can be varied in the range 10 - 200 cpm.
Tank contents can be set on the display as well as a low level alarm of the product container.
Different kinds of hose connections can be used.
The pump unit is able to put air pressure onto the product container.
Recipes can be programmed on the operator interface.
Several options are available.
A maximum of four pumps can be used at the same time (depending on the airflow available).
Due to the fact that Nutrient International developed this Nutriflow dosing system without requiring a flowmeter, the price can be kept low.
At the same time Cleaning In Place (C.I.P.) for the unit is very easy.
