Specifically designed for food manufacturers, plant workers can easily collect both wet and dry materials without having to stop to change out filters, helping save time and money. Designed for heavy-duty use, the GWD 120 comes equipped with a single motor, while the GWD 220 has two for extra power. The high-powered bypass motors provide excellent performance, while maintaining low noise levels. An ergonomic “tip and pour” tank system also allows users to easily dispose of collected liquids. Other features and benefits include: • Innovative float valve shuts off airflow when container is full • Easy access to float basket and filters for cleaning and maintenance D Chemstar Corporation Chemstar Concentrated Chemical Cartridges: Less Waste, Lighter Shipping, Big Savings he old adage is true: good things come in small packages. In this case, it’s a revolutionary new line of highly concentrated and powerful cleaning products that also happen to be better for the environment. Appropriately named, the Just Insert, Mix and Spray™ (J.I.M.S.™) system of concentrated chemical cartridges is an economical, convenient, and safe solution for the most challenging cleaning jobs. The J.I.M.S.™ cartridge system features a safe and efficient threestep design: (1) water is added to a specially-designed quart-sized spray T bottle; (2) a cartridge of chemical concentrate is inserted; and (3) the trigger sprayer is attached. Once the sprayer is connected to the bottle, the bottom of the cartridge opens, releasing the chemical concentrate into the water. After a few shakes, the product is mixed with the water and is ready to use. When comparing a package of Just Insert, Mix, and Spray™ concentrated cartridges to 24 quart-sized bottles of ready-to-use cleaning products, the J.I.M.S.™ system provides tremendous savings: The package volume is 98% smaller, freeing up valuable storage space. The shipping weight is 97% lighter because water is added at the point of use. There is a 81% decrease in plastic waste because the spray bottle can be refilled multiple times. Far more puncture and moisture resistant and much less fragile than concentrated drop-in gel pouches, J.I.M.S.™ cartridges are available in five different formulations: bathroom cleaner, glass cleaner, degreaser, sanitizer, and disinfectant. Three of the formulations are Green Seal certified and all offer a lower cost-per-use over traditional ready-to-use cleaning products. The Just Insert, Mix, and Spray™ system is a simple and effective system for just about any commercial cleaning environment, including retail supermarkets, convenience stores, quick-service restaurants, and the hospitality industry. The new product line is part of Chemstar’s GREENSTAR Commitment™ to promote sustainability in all parts of our operations, from products and production to packaging and equipment.
