Slurry advantages

Slurry consists in a suspension of chemical products or insoluble minerals mixed with water to create a stable, fluid and easy-to-handle result not requiring any stirring.

By using slurry you will get a more accurate dosage, improving the safety for your employees as well as the cleanliness in your factories. Health and safety problems linked to the use of dangerous powders are eliminated.

No contaminated waste which would otherwise have to be reprocessed (bags, etc…).
The dosage is much more accurate with a pump, thus reducing overdoses and wastage.
It is easier to measure a liquid than a powder, and this can reduce significantly the amount required.
A fully automated storage and distribution facility can be installed on the customer's factory. This facility almost requires no manpower.
