Dosatron

Hello, blog readers! Today I’m writing to report on my recent trip to California, where I spent a week visiting with customers, getting the latest on our California-based applications.

I was off to see one of our long-time customers, who just happen to be the largest mushroom grower in the US. During our tour of their facility, we got to see one unusual method of using Dosatrons: to wash truck tires!

The Dosatron is used to inject iodine to sanitize all vehicle tires coming into their facility to prevent spread of disease. They also use Dosatrons in each mushroom growing house to sanitize with chemicals.

I did a maintenance seminar for the entire grower staff at this location, showing them the difference between the DI16 – 11 GPM and the D14 – 14 GPM, and they want the 14 GPMs because they are so simple! Since portability is important to this grower, we discussed the DosaCart portable system as well, which they are also interested in implementing.

Our next stop was a vineyard in Northern California, where they’re using Dosatrons to inject fish fertilizer. This particular customer was very creative when it came to building a larger strainer to inject fish emulsion.

All in all, this was a great trip; I got to see customers I haven’t seen in awhile, saw interesting new applications, and had a wonderful time! Can’t wait until the next time I get out to California!

Until my next Tale From the Road,
