Dosing Equipment for Solid Chemicals

SCT DB100 - Gravity Dosing Unit with Reservoir

This robust gravity operated dosing unit incorporates its own reservoir and uses a unique dual system of mechanical (magnetic) solenoid valves and floats to automatically control the dissolution, mixing and system dosing of our solid chemical products.

This compact, wall mounted dosing unit can be conveniently located at the point of use and requires no electrical supply.

How it works

Once installed the dosing unit is initially filled with the desired volume of chemical in the reservoir. This is done by allowing make-up water to spray up into the inverted bottle of solid chemical leading to dissolution of the chemical product and filling of the reservoir.


Wall mounted DB100

As dissolved product is fed (via gravity) into the system the reservoir level falls. The integral primary float also falls and activates the primary solenoid valve allowing more water to spray up into the inverted bottle of chemical. The reservoir will continue to refill with chemical solution until the primary float reaches its shut-off point and closes the solenoid. This fill >> empty >> refill cycle will continue automatically, based on system demand.

This dosing unit also incorporates a unique spill containment safety feature, a dual valve overflow system. In the unlikely event that the primary solenoid valve were to remain in the “open” position or if a leak were to occur, a secondary float would activate to close the overflow solenoid valve.

SCT DB50 - Gravity Dosing Unit for Small, Open Systems

This compact gravity operated dosing unit is designed for use on small, open systems and offers a convenient way to safely and consistently mix and feed our solid chemical products. This unit can be used for batch mixing or dosing mixed chemical products to open cooling towers or boiler systems.

Automated control

The innovative design of this unit includes a simple solenoid valve and integral timer device which eliminates the need for additional chemical metering pumps. The solenoid valve is operated by the timing device which can be pre-set to control the dissolving water flow and allow chemical dosage into open, non-pressurised or “to atmosphere” applications.

How it works


Three DB50 units fitted to cooling tower

This gravity dosing unit is simple to operate and activates via an electrical signal, either directly or from the integral timer device. This opens the solenoid valve to allow make-up water to spray up into the inverted bottle of solid chemical which results in product dissolution.

Installation requirements

The dosing unit is easy to install and should be wall mounted and connected to a suitable water line and electric supply; and a timer fitted where required.

Direct input

Feed water from the water line sprays into the bottle of solid chemical product resulting in product dissolution. Dissolved chemical product then feeds (via gravity) into the system, unless it is controlled by the solenoid valve.

Installation Support and Training

Specialist training courses and practical workshops covering the selection, installation and maintenance of our dosing pumps and equipment are available on request. Please contact us for further information.
