Micro-volume dispense pump systems and methods
Provided is a fluid dispense pump comprising a pump housing and a cartridge body positioned along an axis. The cartridge body comprises a chamber and a feed aperture extending through a surface of the cartridge body to the chamber. A fluid shaft extends through the cartridge body along the axis. The fluid shaft has an inlet port positioned in the chamber of the cartridge body. One of the cartridge body and the fluid shaft is attached to the pump housing and is fixed relative to the pump housing. The other of the cartridge body and the fluid shaft moves relative to the one of the cartridge body and the fluid shaft to change a position of the inlet port relative to the feed aperture during a dispensing operation.
Discharge system and methods of discharging a chemical
A system for discharging a chemical from a drum that is coupled to a drum retainer is provided. The system includes a booth having a floor, a ceiling, and walls defining an enclosure therein and configured to enclose the drum and the drum retainer. A first gas source is coupled to the booth and in flow communication to the enclosure and configured to discharge a first inert gas into the enclosure. A second gas source is coupled in flow communication to the drum and configured to discharge a second inert gas into the drum and to pressurize the chemical. The system further includes a pump coupled in flow communication to the drum and configured to discharge the chemical from the drum under at least one predetermined characteristic and out of the enclosure.
Apparatus and method for mixing and dispensing
A system and method for mixing and dispensing two substances are provided. The system includes: a first substance a first container for containing a first substance, a second container for containing a second substance, a feeding tube, and a pumping system connected to the first container, the second container, and the feeding tube; wherein the system comprises at least three modes of operation: combining the first and second substances into one combined substance, mixing the combined substance, and dispensing the mixed substance; and wherein the pumping system is adapted to perform the at least three modes of operation and dispense the mixed substance to the feeding tube.

System for Simultaneous Distribution of Fluid to Multiple Vessels and Method of Using the Same
A method of aseptically distributing fluid including fluidly connecting a primary vessel to a fluid distribution system via a feedline of the supply vessel to form a closed system, priming the feedline to purge trapped gases and fluid from the feedline via a purge valve, simultaneously distributing fluid from the primary vessel to a plurality of secondary vessels, sensing a complete fill of the plurality of secondary vessels with the control system, and stopping the distribution of fluid when the complete fill is sensed by the control system.
Two-piece foam piston pump
A piston pump for dispensing fluid from a reservoir, an improved vacuum relief arrangement in which a passageway for flow of air from the atmosphere into the reservoir is provided at least in part through a piston-forming element of the piston pump.

FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD
A fluid delivery system or method for the same may include features or steps for dispensing, via a nozzle, a first fluid from a first fluid storage tank of at least two fluid storage tanks. The fluid storage tanks may be separately fluidly coupled to a manifold via respective fluid supply lines. A fluid delivery line fluidly may couple the nozzle to the manifold. A residual first fluid may remain within the delivery line after the dispensing step. The system or method may further include features or steps for connecting the nozzle to a clearance tank. A clearance outlet line may fluidly couple the clearance tank to the manifold. The system or method may further include features or steps for purging the residual first fluid from the fluid delivery line into the clearance tank and delivering the residual first fluid from the clearance tank to the first fluid storage tank.
