Overview

Usage

The ProMix 2KE is an electronic two-component paint

proportioner. It can blend most two-component paints. It

is not for use with quick-setting paints (those with a pot

life of less than 5 minutes).

• Has dynamic dosing capabilities. It dispenses mate-

rial A, monitors fluid flow, and dispenses material B

in doses to cause the mixture to stay on ratio.

• Can proportion at ratios from 0.1:1 to 30.0:1.

• Will display the last 50 errors with date, time, and

event. The optional USB upgrade kit will log 500

errors and up to 2000 jobs.

• For systems with one gun, an optional Gun Flush

Box provides an automated flushing system for a

manual spray gun.

General Information

• Reference numbers and letters in parentheses in

the text refer to numbers and letters in the illustra-

tions.

• Be sure all accessories are adequately sized and

pressure-rated to meet system requirements.

• There must be a shutoff valve between each fluid

supply line and the ProMix 2KE system.

• A 100 mesh minimum fluid filter must be installed on

component A and B fluid supply lines.

• To protect the Display Module screens from paints

and solvents, clear-plastic protective shields are

available in packs of 10 (Part No. 24G821). Clean

the screens with a dry cloth if necessary.
