ST. PAUL, Minn., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Colder Products Company, a
leading provider of quick-disconnect couplings and dispensing systems,
today announced that its DrumQuik(R) PRO chemical dispensing system is a
finalist in Flow Control magazine's annual Innovation Awards. The award is
designed to recognize the industry's most compelling advances in fluid
handling technology, showcasing new products in the categories of fluid
measurement, control, and containment.
    The DrumQuik PRO provides safe, easy and economic extraction of
chemicals from drums, jerry cans and other bulk transfer containers while
helping to reduce costly spills, contain hazardous fumes, and enhance
workplace safety. The easy-to-use, closed-system design combines into one
integrated unit a recyclable bung closure and dip-tube with a reusable
quick disconnect coupler, ensuring that both sides are sealed from
point-of-origin to point-of-use.
    "The best way to minimize exposure when dispensing chemicals from bulk
containers is with a closed system that eliminates the removal of the
inserted dip-tube from the drum," said Thomas Braun, business unit manager,
chemical and packaging products, Colder Products Company. "DrumQuik PRO
allows users to easily dispense chemicals by removing a shipping plug and
then locking the coupler in place. This eliminates the need to install,
remove or clean a dip-tube, minimizing the potential for fluid or vapor
contact while allowing fast changeovers."
    Container Technology, Inc., a Santa Barbara, Calif.-based company whose
primary business is ensuring that its customers have the highest-quality
containers for hazardous chemical transport and end-user dispensing, offers
the DrumQuik PRO to its customers as both a standalone component or as an
integrated package where the DrumQuik PRO is pre-inserted into high-purity
or general purpose drums and containers.
    "Our customers are very satisfied and impressed with the DrumQuik PRO
system," said Gary Clancy, managing director at Container Technology. "In
comparing the improved safety, ease-of-use and cost-efficiency of the
DrumQuik PRO with other methods, the benefits are clear."
    Nominees for the Innovation Awards were chosen based on the product's
ability to improve on existing technology, perform a process more
efficiently, outstanding operating characteristics (e.g., accuracy pressure
range, repeatability, size, temperature range, weight, etc.), and user
testimonials. The winner will be determined by the readers. Readers are
encouraged to vote for the most innovative products in a variety of
categories.
    The 2007 Flow Control Innovation Awards will be presented at ISA Expo,
October 2-4, 2007, at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas.
