How the System Works
Liquid product in containers
A sharp point and 4 blades are located inside the Handler tank to
puncture and split open the bottom of a container. As the bottom
of the container opens, fresh water is allowed to flow into the
container for rinsing.
Fresh water enters the bottom of the container from a line
through the side of the eductor tank. Valves in the plumbing con-
trol the removal of the contents of the tank and allow fresh water
to enter for rinsing the unit.
Mixing and removal of chemical from the Handler unit is ac-
complished using a venturi valve system.
Liquid bulk product
Each Handler tank is calibrated with high visibility, accu-
rate markings to easily measure product pumped from a bulk
container. The bulk product is pumped into the Handler tank
through the lid, or through a special closed fitting adapted to the
Handler’s lid.
Dry product
Each Handler tank comes with an agitation nozzle. When com-
bined with the venturi or the recirculation package, the user can
easily mix dry product.
The venturi
The venturi system operates on principles of suction. As water
is being pumped through the venturi, a suction is created which
draws the tanks contents from the tank, simultaneously provid-
ing fresh water to rinse the container.
With the venturi system only one pump is required to operate the
system. The pump is always placed before the venturi and the
Handler.
Break In
Although there are no operational restrictions on the Handler
when used for the first time, it is recommended that the follow-
ing mechanical items be checked:
