Zebra's Machine Coolant Proportioning Pump Mixes & Delivers Over 800 Feet

When you need a accurate coolant proportion AND the ability to pump that fluid across your shop floor so it's near the point of use, then you're ready for the Proportioning Pump.

  • Choose from various flow rates
  • Choose from various concentration ranges
  • Delivers fluid 20' vertically and 800' laterally
  • Clear 6' plastic intake hose, for all containers, included
  • Wall mount configuration available
  • For use with concentrates to 700 SUS viscosity
  • 10-70 psi incoming water pressure

Notations
- MIXPP units all have 3/4 inch (NPT) inlets and outlets.
- PSI range for all MIXPP units is rated between 10 - 70 psi.
- Please contact us for a mixing range or flow capacity not shown here. All units can be mounted on a horizontal surface (default part numbers) or on a vertical surface like a wall (numbers have a -VM added to them.) For fluids that are thicker than 500 SUS inlet pressure should be reduced below 20 psi.

How It Works

The adjustable screw (A) is set for concentration output, and the concentrate intake hose is connected to its intake port (B). The incoming water (C, not shown) drives the actuating arm (D), which suctions an exact amount of concentrate and mixes it with the exact amount of water, per the desired output setting. The coolant and water flow through the discharge port (E).

This positive displacement process allows for the ability to push the fluid a greater distance than other types of mixers that use the water pressure to create a vacuum to draw the concentrate.

Now you can deliver mixed fluid through conduit (20' vertically and 800' laterally), and have drop line garden hoses, fitted with ball valves, so operators can easily access coolant at the point of use, as a decrease in pressure on the outlet activates the pump. No more hauling buckets across the shop floor!

Note that the position on the adjustable screw and concentrate viscosity (700 SUS max) will determine the concentration value at any given setting. A refractometer is necessary to check the concentration value, whereby further adjustment can be made to mix your desired concentration.

Testimonial - Proportioning Pump
Lloyd contacted Zebra for a solution to mix his water pulp solution in a paper preparation application. We provided him with a high volume Proportioning Pump to deliver the mixture through multiple sprayer lines through a manifold system. During our yearly customer feedback survey, he comments "Product works well, your engineering is rated a 5, and I will buy Zebra in the future."
