Versatility and Flexibility The ProMix PD can operate up to 4 different pumps so you can dispense different chemistries and manage multiple applicators on the same system. Non-Compatible Materials? No Problem. Why purchase two systems when you only need one? Utilizing our 4 pump system, you can run different material chemistries through dedicated fluid paths and track pot life for up to 3 different applicators all on one machine. Our ProMix PD can handle multiple guns and separate fluid streams all on the same system – saving you the cost of another proportioner. Operate typically separated...

Positive Displacement Technology How it works The ProMix PD electrically driven dosing pump technology is the only true way to provide 100% positive displacement without any material slippage. Powered by a DC Stepper Motor, a piston pump moves up and down to create consistent pressure, and flow rates within a 1% mixing ratio accuracy every time. A pressure transducer on the outlet side helps to monitor outlet pressure for electronic fluid regulation, and self-diagnostic programs. Positive Displacement Wide flow range and accuracy using only one pump If it stalls under pressure, turn the...

Mixing Ratio Accuracy within The ProMix PD is the only equipment that offers true volumetric control. It is unique because it can operate in both flow and pressure mode, while offering high and low pressure options on the same system. Core ProMix PD Benefits WIDER RANGE OF FLOW RATES Never have to switch out or overwork a pump again to get a wide range of flow rates and ratios. Our positive displacement piston pump was specifically designed to handle the ratios and flow rates where gear pumps fall short. ACCURATE AND PRECISE EVERY TIME Our encoder-based piston drive technology and active...

Reduce Solvent & Material Waste by How it works Moving the mixing point closer to the gun with our mix-at-the belt technology decreases the zones on the machine that need to be flushed. Worn on the belt, carried in the hand or mounted on a robot for automatic applications, this technology not not only slashes colour change change time, it can also mean up to an 80% reduction in flushing and waste and downtime. Reduce Waste and Increase Production Smaller flush zones not only let you change colours faster, but also save you money by reducing solvent and material waste created from flushing...

Air/Solvent Chop How it works Air/Solvent Chop allows for customizable flushing recipes that use air and solvent chop through the pump. This reduces solvent usage during flushing and reduces the time required to fully flush the pump – especially for metallic flake or filled materials. Less Solvent use and Faster Colour Changes With our patented pump wash and air/solvent chop features, you can preset flushing routines for different materials. This provides cleaner lines and faster flushing and also uses significantly less material. Air/Solvent Chop Zones 9
