System Advantages

Pumping & Mixing Solution

One device covers both the mixing and pumping process

Efficient Batch & Mix Operation

Allows products to be mixed and batched when required

Flexible Configuration

Suitable to various sized containers and liquids of different viscosities

Enhanced Safety

The sealed design reduces spillages and contamination

System Operating Process

Transfer Mode: The discharge valve is opened and the recirculation valve is partially opened, to both mix and transfer the product out of the vessel.

 

Mixing Mode: The discharge valve is closed and the recirculation valve is opened, to allow the product to circulate in the vessel.

 

Stopping the pump can be achieved in a couple of ways:

 

  • By cutting off the air supply. The discharge valve needs to be open in this instance.

 

  • By closing the discharge valve and the recirculation valve the pressure from the system will stop the pump automatically. The pump restarts easily when the valve is opened again. (NOTE: When using this method keep in mind that air must be supplied to the pump. This is essential to keep the diaphragms in balance, which is what protects them from premature failure.)

 

We can also supply the pump and Pneumixer with any of our Pneumatic & Electronic Protection Systems to provide even further protection and functionality!

What is the Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying System for?

The Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying System was predominantly developed for the paint and ink industries, where most raw materials in drums or IBCs can settle over time and would need blending before use.

 

This system can achieve this easily and quickly in one compact unit.

What pumps can be used with Pneumatic & Mixing Systems?

The Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying Station can be paired with most Tapflo pump sizes from 1/2″ to 2″. We recommend using our range of Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps for best performance.

Can you vary the agitation?

Yes, there is an adjustable mixing intensity to ensure the agitation level matches each specific product or application for optimal results

What materials are available?

The Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying System is available in Stainless Steel AISI 316 and Polypropylene (PP) as standard, with other materials upon request.

How many modes can be activated?

There are two modes: Transfer mode and Mixing mode. The operator can choose either or both modes.

 

Switching between pumping and mixing is easy and can be done manually or remotely.

Looking for something else?

If you’re looking for just a mixer for your IBC, an automated station or a dilution and mixing machine.
