FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ALEXANDRIA, MINNESOTA, November 29, 2011 – VariTech Industries introduces a major advancement in the safety of transporting liquids over the road…TANK TAMERS.

TANK TAMERS are 15-inch, polyethylene baffling balls that, when inserted into a liquid tanker, will virtually eliminate the liquid surge that results when a vehicle starts, stops, or corners. TANK TAMERS are compatible with a variety of liquids, with the exception of dairy and petroleum-based products, and only consume 1.5% of the tank’s overall holding capacity.

“Over the road truckers and firefighters are aware of the potential hazards of liquid surge associated with transporting liquid loads. We are pleased to introduce TANK TAMERS as a helpful solution to this sometimes dangerous situation,” said Benjie Schoenrock, Product Manager, VariTech Industries.

“Made of high-density polyethylene with no ferrous inserts, TANK TAMERS are heavy duty, yet lightweight. With no metal components that could corrode or break, the concern over load contamination that can cause pump and plumbing failure is eliminated. TANK TAMERS’ quick and easy assembly makes retro-fitting a tanker an easy task,” adds Schoenrock.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ALEXANDRIA, MINNESOTA, August 2, 2011 – VariTech Industries introduces two major advancements in anti-icing and de-icing targeted at dramatically cutting winter maintenance costs, while also reducing the amount of salt and chemicals reaching the watershed:
-The BRINE BOSS, automated salt brine production module 
-The BLEND BOSS, in-line brine solution mixing system

The BRINE BOSS is a microprocessor controlled, modular component that works in conjunction with new or existing VariTech salt brine production systems, such as the SB600 or the HSCB1400-SS.

The BRINE BOSSis designed to meet the need of any snow and ice fighting municipality or  contractor that produces and applies salt brine and offers these distinct advantages over manual brine production:
-Automated brine production with increased speed and consistent salinity.  
-Color touch-screen with menu-driven controls guard against frozen switches and improper settings.
-Water temperature monitor ensures batch consistency for effective anti-icing and de-icing.
-System access is password-protected against unauthorized access.
-Generates and tracks usage data for individual trucks and fleets.|
-Multiple user groups are allowed shared access. Usage data is tracked for each user group for cost bill-back.

 

 “Today, municipalities face tough economic realities and must be concerned with managing material costs and providing safe roadways,” says Benjie Schoenrock, Product Manager at VariTech Industries. “Municipalities have had to strictly monitor chemical usage due to escalating prices and shortages, along with environmental concerns. The BRINE BOSS aids in the effort by automatically producing cleaner, more consistent brine faster than ever before.”

The BLEND BOSS meets the evolving needs of any snow and ice fighting municipality or contractor that mixes and applies multiple anti-icing and de-icing solutions in a single application. This first-of-its-kind product is designed to meet the needs of the municipal snow and ice market and has these features:

-Microprocessor controlled, automated brine blending system.
-Provides in-line mixing of up to three different brine solutions into storage or application tanks.
-In-line mixing allows simultaneous blending.
 -Mix rate is fully adjustable to meet the needs of the conditions.
 -Easy to use blend rate controller.
-Independent, stand alone system can be installed with any existing liquid storage facility regardless of chemical being used.
