Coolant Proportioning Pump

Coolant Proportioning Pump: Precise Mixing, Maximum Efficiency

Simplify your coolant management with our Water Powered Proportioning Pumps. These powerhouses can mix any coolant, delivering the perfect mixture across your shop floor – virtually any distance. When precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are non-negotiable, machine shops rely on our solution. If you are using a coolant (eg: ExtremeCut) with a viscosity greater than 500SUS please select a 12 gpm model or higher.

By controlling the fluid ratio meticulously, our proportioning pumps slash waste and minimize the consumption of expensive chemicals or additives. They make sure you’re using just the right amount of each component, optimizing your cost efficiency.

And it doesn’t stop there – this is a vital component of the Dazzle™ 1 Semi Automated Coolant Concentration Management system.

Why Our Coolant Proportioning Pump is Your Top Choice:

• Impressive Delivery Range: Capable of delivering fluid 25′ vertically and 800′ laterally.
• Customizable Flow Rates: Choose from 7gpm, 12gpm, or 25gpm, based on your needs.
• Flexible Concentration Ranges: Adjust from 0.6% to 35% for precise control.
• Includes a Clear Intake Hose: 6′ plastic coolant intake hose perfect for drums and totes.
• Wall Mount Configuration Available: For easy access and space optimization.
  
• High Viscosity Capacity: Suitable for concentrates up to 700 SUS viscosity.
• Pressure Requirements: Requires incoming water supply pressure between 10-70 psi.
  
• Robust Construction: Built from heavy-duty stainless steel for longevity.
• Water Driven & Non-Electrical: Efficient, reliable, and eco-friendly.
• Minimizes Coolant Waste: Reducing costs and promoting sustainability.

Welcome to the future of coolant management. Step up to precision, efficiency, and sustainability with our Coolant Proportioning Pump.

HOW IT WORKS Your coolant is drawn in through the bottom port (A) and metered by the adjustable screw (B) for a constant amount of water being drawn in through the fitting (C) on the other side. The entire arm (D) moves back and forth so that your coolant is being injected into the water stream. The mixing occurs at the exit fitting (E), and proceeds to your coolant sump. You can watch what is being drawn in the clear coolant block, and you know the unit is working by the movement of the draw arm.

Which pump? Pick the column for your flow rate, then the row for your mix range.

Horizontal mounting unless noted. Vertical-mount versions of the other models are available on request.

Horizontal or vertical mounting?

Horizontal (shelf) is the standard pump. It sits flat on a shelf or bracket on its four rubber feet, with the drum or tote on the floor below it and the suction hose dropping into the container. Pick this unless you have a reason not to.

Vertical (wall) is the same pump set up to hang upright on a wall or post, with the coolant head pointing down and a longer injection tube. Pick this when there is no shelf space beside the drum. Flow rate and mix range are identical to the horizontal version.

Either way, mount the pump so the bottom of its bracket is about 42 inches off the floor, so a drum fits underneath, and put a 30-micron filter on the inlet water.

Insights from the Field: Deciphering Proportioning Pump Mix Ratios

Proportioning pump mix ratios delineate the quantity of coolant introduced to water. For instance, our widely used MIXPP518 ensures a mix ranging from 1 part coolant to 70 parts water (represented as 1:70 or 1.4%) to a more concentrated 1 part coolant to 7 parts water (expressed as 1:7 or 12.3%).

These percentages should not be mistaken for BRIX concentration readings!

Let’s illustrate with a hands-on scenario:

A client is employing Fuchs ECOCOOL 711 as their coolant and wants to have a BRIX concentration of 10.

ECOCOOL 711 has a refractometer correction factor of 1.4. The recommended usage concentrations, that is mixture rations, for this coolant, in a water-to-coolant ratio, span from 20:1 (which equates to ~5%) to 10:1 (corresponding to ~9%). These parameters are well within the operating mixture ratios of the MIXPP518.

To compute the precise refractometer target reading, taking the refractometer correction factor into account, divide the target concentration, 10 BRIX, by the correction factor. Thus, for ECOCOOL 711 with its 1.4 correction factor, the actual refractometer reading needs to be 7.14 (10/1.4).

Questions from aerospace and defense shops

Shops adding interceptor, launcher, and housing work ask us how to keep concentration honest when hours go up.

Adding interceptor, launcher, or housing work? Read Fix the sump before the FAIR: the cost math and the four fixes, cheapest first.

Can a proportioning pump keep concentration inside a documented range?
It is water powered and meters concentrate at a fixed ratio at up to 7 gallons per minute, across mix ranges from under 1 percent to over 30 percent depending on the model. Verify with a refractometer and log it; the pump removes the bucket, the log proves it.

What does a row of six or more machines look like?
One pump at the drum or tote, a mixed-coolant line down the row, and a level controller on each sump so nobody touches the tank. Ask us about DI water versions and the prepump filter.

Where is it built and serviced?
Solon, Ohio. Repair kits are stocked and we rebuild pumps in house.
