SAFE CHEMICAL HANDLING IMPROVES BOTTOM LINE IN A CALIFORNIA GOLF MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

At The Ranch Golf Course in San Jose, CA, managing liquids like fertilizers and insecticides has always been a challenge. Mike Higuera, Jr., the course manager, faced frequent issues such as spills, leaks, product loss, and even employee injuries when handling 55-gallon drums of chemicals. Initially, these drums were stored horizontally in a chemical shed with spigots on the front, making them hard to position and prone to accidental damage. "I had tried a suction pump with an upright drum before," Higuera explained. "But it required a long stroke and was tough on the employees. They ended up straining their muscles just to move the product." After reading about new technologies in the trade press, he came across Goat Throat pumps, which allowed drums to be positioned vertically and operated with short, efficient strokes—something he had experience with from tapping kegs in his youth. He purchased his first Goat Throat pump six years ago, and it quickly became a game-changer. "It saved us time, reduced injuries, and minimized product waste," he said. Over time, he added two useful options: a remote tap connected via flexible tubing, allowing for easier filling of containers on the floor, and an air regulator adaptor that connects directly to the course’s compressor, eliminating the need for manual pumping. These improvements have made the process safer and more efficient, especially when handling heavy products like liquid iron, which weighs 10 pounds per gallon. By reducing physical strain and improving workflow, the pumps have proven to be a smart investment that pays off every day.

Solar Panel Profile

Solar photovoltaic module frame refers to the fixed frame of aluminum alloy profiles for photovoltaic solar panel components. Because solar photovoltaic modules must guarantee an outdoor service life of about 25 years, the aluminum frame used in solar photovoltaic modules must have good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Generally, the frames used in solar photovoltaic modules are divided into three types: anodic oxidation, sandblasting oxidation and electrophoretic oxidation.
