Stainless Steel IX-B Series Metering Pumps
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 the traditional features of the IX Series, the IX-B has 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 springs 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 maintain 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.
Standard Diaphragm Leak Sensor
- 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 valves is always recommended.
Universal Design
- Multi-voltage operation (100-240VAC) and compliant to UL & CE standards
- Drive/control units each sealed to IP65 ratings
Cavitation Prevention
- The suction speed can be manually lowered for operation with highly viscous liquids or prevention of cavitation
"Foolproof" Valve Cartridge Design*
- An orientation guide in the suction or discharge ports prevents valve cartridges from being incorrectly installed.
* Except C060 and Stainless Steel versions.
Foolproof Valve Cartridge Design
Automatic Control
- Fully programmable analog or digital proportional control of the pump with Batch and Internal timer control features.
Degassing Assist
- Keypad operation or a contact signal (AUX) runs the pump at full speed (overriding any mode) assisting in air elimination and priming.
Operation History
- The controller logs total power connect time, operation time, the number of strokes, and the number of power-on cycles.
Flexible, User-friendly Interface
- 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
IX Series Metering Pumps 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.
