With over 100 application case studies , we know how to get it right .
temperature range , yet consistently transfer differing volumes of liquid as accurately as possible .
North Ridge supplied , commissioned and installed a complete automatic batching system to dispense the liquid accurately and repeatedly .
The unit was supplied complete with heat traced hose to ensure the liquid did not solidify in the hose , with the barrel also heat traced to ensure the contents remained liquid and pumpable . As the fluid was heated , it became easily pumpable enabling the client to trial new processes , test small scale batches and trial methods of packing .
Their results are accurate , repeatable & fully traceable enabling them to accelerate production and scaling .
One of the ways avoiding many of the pitfalls during commercialization of fluid process or fluid handling products is to work with a partner who can specify the right pump technology for your process . consideration such as whether an ATEX design is required or seal less construction to ensure the full containment of fluids .
Other options include the swaging of hose fittings for the safety and security of leak free connections , nozzles for ease of fluid dispensing and speed control to alter dispensing rate and prevent splashing .
Accuracy & Repeatability of Results – The ability to repeatedly batch preset amounts with ease , or record the amounts dispensed with high accuracy ensuring consistency .
When cold , the product would solidify making it unpumpable , and near on impossible to remove from the container .
The equipment needed to be hygienic , easily cleanable and handle a wide

Accreditation - Material choice can be puzzling . Whether to adopt an accredited hygienic design , or simply a stainless steel design which can be easily disassembled and cleaned providing peace of mind during testing to simply what is chemically resistant .
HIGH VISCOSITY FLUID DISPENSING
In this project North Ridge were tasked with assisting a client dispensing a product being developed which had the consistency of molten fat .
