But his efforts did not go unrewarded. The features of his simple, innovative non-electric chemical injector found application in an unexpected field, animal and livestock feeding. Mr. Daniels' injectors found use by farmers in this agricultural segment because treating livestock through water supply lines was cost-effective and boosted production.

Beginning in the mid-south and then spreading throughout the country, farmers, veterinarians and nutritionists began to recognize the injector's rugged performance and superior delivery of medication to livestock. Some credit the injector as a pivotal technical breakthrough that ignited rapid growth of the swine and poultry industry.

Soon, other applications were discovered and the Chemilizer pump was used to inject fertilizers and other chemicals directly into irrigation systems. This led to higher crop yields and also an enhanced method of maximizing water use and efficiency. As the simplicity and efficiency of the Chemilizer non-piston, non-electric water motor became better known, the company began to grow and attract a host of new competitors.

Chemilizer Today

Ray Daniels' son, Frank, took over the business in 1994 and continues to head the company today. During his ten years as owner, he has doubled the size of the company. He purchased new manufacturing equipment, added a modern production line and created an in-house development engineering group.

Additionally, he has strengthened the company's administrative infrastructure and built a customer service and sales group that shares his desire to enter new markets. He is a steadfast quality advocate to the point that quality awareness has become part of the company culture. A tangible result of quality improvement was diminished product failure and rock solid reliability which enabled the company to add an extra year to its product warranty.

By year 1999 the company had outgrown its old facility and moved into a modern 20,000 square foot plant at its present Largo, Florida location.

Frank Daniels built on the previous success that his father created and he has now positioned Chemilizer for solid future growth. The company's traditional markets of agriculture, horticulture and animal feeding are barely touched. And the company is expanding into other diverse industrial and commercial markets including, of all things, lawn care irrigation and fertilizing systems.
