Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Advanced powdered hand cleaner dispensing system
EF 2016-17
Résumé
WORX Environmental Products of Canada, Inc. is seeking assistance from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) to redesign its powdered hand cleaner dispenser in order to improve the device's dispensing mechanism, allowing for dosing accuracy and consistency. WORX's powder-based hand cleaning solution is not a free flowing substance, which represents a technical challenge requiring a more powerful, effective dispensing system to ensure accurate dosing. The proposed project will focus on developing a new dispensing system, and will conduct verification testing of the system to assess its functionality and performance against the original WORX's dispenser. The project results will enhance WORX's competitiveness in local and international hand cleaner dispenser markets in the future.
