Walchem’s IX Series Metering Pumps are digitally controlled direct-drive diaphragm pumps. Years of experience in high-end motor technology result in extremely accurate and energy efficient metering pumps with high resolution.
The IX Series meets today’s demand for automated chemical delivery in industries from water treatment to chemical process. Highly precise control offers a solution for a variety of dosing applications.The IX-B Series pumps are available with a 316 Stainless Steel option in addition to the PVDF liquid ends, expanding application possibilities where the IX-B could be installed.
IX-B Series Metering pumps, following with the whole IX product line, are full-featured pumps utilizing a BLDC motor to efficiently and accurately satisfy any dosing requirement. The high compression advanced pump head design eliminates air-lock concerns.
The IX advanced design provides +/-1% accuracy and even higher turndown ratios up to 1000:1! In addition to traditional features of the IX Series, the IX-B have a more flexible controller mount as well as a built-in wall mount bracket supplied with every pump.
1000:1 Turndown Ratio
IX Series pumps use efficient Brushless DC motors for speed control. High resolution motor control adjusts the discharge and suction speeds to meet a full and accurate turndown ratio up to 1000:1 and flowrates from 80 GPH (300 L/H) down to 0.002 GPH (7.5 mL/H).±1% High Accuracy
Combined with precise motor control, an efficient valve design maintains accurate flow rates to allow a low-cost, mechanically-driven diaphragm pump to achieve a repeatability of ±1%.70% Energy Savings
Helical gears and return spring reduce power consumption by up to 70% compared to conventional mechanical diaphragm metering pumps.High Compression Pump Head Design
A fixed stroke length and proprietary liquid end design maintains high compression during each stroke, resulting in fast priming and no gas-lock at any flow rate up to full rated pressures.Features
Suction vs. Discharge Speed- Suction speed remains constant. Discharge speed reduces as pump is turned down, helping to reduce pulsation and inertial forces on piping.
- Behind the diaphragm, a sensor monitors for any sign of rupture or leakage.
Faulty Operation Detection
-
Abnormal operation detection protects the pump and piping during discharge pressure spikes (valve closure) or increases (clogging).
Note: In some instances, software may not be able to detect sudden increases in pressure due to a closed discharge. Installation of pressure relief/safety valve is always recommended.
- Multi-voltage operation (100-240VAC) and compliant to UL & CE standards
- Drive/control units each sealed to IP65 ratings
- The suction speed can be manually lowered for operation with highly viscous liquids or prevention of cavitation
-
An orientation guide in the suction or discharge ports prevents valve cartridges from being incorrrectly installed.
* Except C060 and Stainless Steel versions.
- Fully programmable analog or digital proportional control of the pump with Batch and Internal timer control features.
- Keypad operation or a contact signal (AUX) runs the pump at the full speed (overriding any mode) assisting in air elimination and priming.
- The controller logs total power connect time, operation time, the number of strokes and the number of power-on cycles.
-
IX-B Series
- Customer controller positioning enables adjustment and setting of location on-site.
- Flexible installation of the pump with built in wall bracket. * Patent Pending (pump base turns into wall bracket)
- 2-line LCD Display with LED backlight
- Multiple display languages
- Larger LED status bar for pump status visibility at distances or in dark locations.
-
IX-C and IX-D Series
- The controller position can be ordered in 6 positions for operator convenience.
- LCD display with LED backlight
- Multiple display languages.
- Bright LED for indication of pump status.
Specifications
*CAUTION: Pump may be capable of higher pressure than tubing. Operate pumps at pressures lower than tubing specifications.Notes:
- Maximum discharge capacity is rated with clean water at ambient temperature at maximum discharge pressure. Output may increase as pressure decreases.
- Accuracy is not guaranteed at flows below 0.5GPH (2 LPH) for IX-D300S6, 0.26GPH (1 LPH) for IX-C150S6 or 0.11GPH (0.4 LPH) for IX-C060S6.
- Maximum viscosity: IX-B: 100/500 cps IX-C: 1000 cps IX-D: 300 cps (standard pumps - consult factory for higher viscosities).Outputs may be reduced.
- Liquid temperature range: 0 -50°C (TC, TE type), 0-80°C (S6 type). No viscosity change. Non freezing. No slurry.
- Operating temperature range: 0-50°C (Indoor use only)
- Operating humidity range: 30-90% RH (Non-condensing in the controller)
- Maximum dry suction lift rating is 6.5 ft. (2m).
- Pumps should always be shielded from direct exposure to the elements.
