SIMPLY INDISPENSIBLE


In this Case Study, RD Industries helps Merida combine their chemical concentrate with water to be used in cleaning floors and other all-purpose cleaning applications.


Headquartered in Wroclaw, Poland, Merida has 55 branch locations across Europe and brings 20 years of experience to answer and provide solutions to any problem related to public toilet facilities and cleanliness.


The company offers a wide range of chemicals and tools for cleaning and disinfecting across different industries with a focus on floorcare applications, helping you chose the right chemical to keep your desired area clean. Additionally, they provide design consultants who can assist you in the design stage, during construction, and select the finishing items for your restroom facilities.


Merida needed a safe way to dilute the chemical they provide to customers without an on-the-wall application. After comprehensive analysis with suppliers of the chemical agents, Merida identified a specific concentrated chemical solution that would work when mixed with water to meet cleaning requirements. The company contacted RD Industries, a global leader in closed loop chemical containment and dispensing solution systems, for a dispensing solution that would work in floorcare applications, along with their general cleaning application needs.


We gathered and reviewed information about the types of chemicals Merida wanted to dilute, the water pressure and rate of flow for dispensing the chemical, and the desired options for dispensing. Our team carefully examined Merida’s bottle sizes and conducted tests on the types of chemicals that they needed to dispense, and at the ideal dilution rate.


THE SOLUTION RD Industries custom manufactures a dual dilution portable dispenser unit for Merida that allows the user to turn a lever to deliver a different dilution rate from the same chemical concentrate depending upon the area to be cleaned when mixed with water. The portable dispenser unit allows an accurate dilution control to be built right into the unit to prevent tampering with water and chemical ratios.

rapidly deployed with minimal training time that will produce easier adoption and faster implementation results.

Additional features available for the portable dispensing unit include a foamer or bucket clip. Merida selected the portable dispensing unit in the floorcare application that allows them to store the chemical mixture in the bottle with the portable dispensing unit housed on top of the bottle. The bucket clip will allow the dispensing unit to be conveniently placed alongside the bucket or cleaning trolley to dispense as needed.


IMPLEMENTATION Merida implemented the dual portable dispensing unit with petrol stations and convenience stores for floor cleaning, restroom facilities, mirrors and windows, and for general cleaning purposes. The solution allows for the device to clip onto the mop bucket or cleaning trolley, decreasing the need for reoccurring training among the jan-san staff with its ease of operation, and eliminated the concern about obtaining constant and controlled dilution rate.


Overall it has increased efficiency in the cleaning process, provided safe chemical containment, and led to a reduction in costs by reducing spills and waste. Throughout the sales process, the RD Industries team was committed to helping Merida find the best possible solution and continues to provide high quality customer service.


This custom colored unit is made with state-of-the-art materials that withstand harsh chemicals, with a durable design that is better for the environment. This system can be


Merida’s Grzegorz Pawlak said: “This portable dispensing unit was exactly what we needed for our customers. It is easy to install and use, but the biggest benefit is the flexibility of being able to control the dilutions to the chemical concentrate in floorcare and our all-purpose cleaning applications. This solution from RD Industries helped Merida drive customer satisfaction and retainment.”
