ALT-MiX-CC
Intro.
The ALT-Mix alternating two-component mixer, equipped with precision flow meters, measures the main agent and hardener based on computer-calculated scheduling. It simultaneously opens and closes their respective metering valves. After metering, the base agent and hardener are uniformly mixed via the mixing block and static labyrinth, then delivered to the spray gun.

🔧Product Introduction

The dual-component automatic mixing machine replaces manual mixing, with its core advantage addressing the inherent drawbacks of manual operation:Manual mixing is prone to ratio imbalance due to weighing errors (often exceeding ±5%), leading to poor coating curing (e.g., softening, embrittlement); uneven stirring can cause defects such as shrinkage cavities and gloss inconsistencies. Additionally, manual mixing is inefficient, difficult to adapt to mass production, and entails material waste (due to pot life out-of-control) and safety risks (direct contact with coatings).

The expected benefits are significant:

  1. Enhanced quality stability: Mixing ratio error ≤±1%, uniform mixing, and reduced rework;
  2. Improved efficiency: Realizes continuous feeding to match production line rhythms;
  3. Cost reduction: Minimizes material waste and labor input;
  4. Improved operational safety: Lowers health risks, making it better suited for large-scale, high-quality production requirements.

🔧Working Priciple

The ALT-Mix enables ratio control of Component A : Component B within a preset range (e.g., 0.1:1 to 50:1).Its workflow can be summarized as follows:

When the operator sets the required formulation (including ratio, dosage size, flow rate, etc.) on the control panel and the system is activated in "Mix Mode", the controller first opens Dose Valve A for Component A, allowing it to flow into the mixing module. Flow Meter A monitors the flow rate/volume, and the controller tracks the data based on the preset K-factor (cc/pulse). Once Component A reaches the preset volume, Dose Valve A closes; then Dose Valve B for Component B opens, enabling Component B to flow into the mixing module (monitored by Flow Meter B). After both components enter the mixing module, they are uniformly mixed via a static mixer before being delivered to the spray gun/process end.

During spraying/discharging, if a Gun Trigger signal is detected, the system will continuously repeat the above dosing process in an "alternating dosing" manner: A → B → A → B… until stopped.

Note: The term "alternating" here refers to the alternating opening of the dose valves for Component A and Component B. It does not mean alternating changes in the flow rates of the two components, but rather sequential feeding to ensure precise ratio control.
