IX-B Dosing & Metering Pumps

A new generation of advanced metering pump technology!

IWAKI

High output, high precision, high controllability. High efficiency brushless motor driven diaphragm type metering pumps

The digital metering pumps with highest precision and ease to use as a solution for the dosing of liquid chemicals. The adjustable suction and pressure speed of the IX-B ensures low-pulsation and precise dosing (+/- 1%) over the entire performance range from 0,0075 l/h up to 45 l/h. 

Key Features  

High Turn down Ratio 

Discharge capacity range 0.0075 – 45 L/H covers wide flow range. 

Precise Chemical Dosing Operation 

The valve design maintains precise dosing at any flow rate whilst the motor regulates discharge and suction speeds to achieve high accuracy (+/-1%) all with a cost-effective design from a mechanically driven diaphragm pump. Some low flow rate areas are excluded. 

Efficient Pump Head Design Is Incorporated With High Compression 

Fast priming without air locks is achieved with a high compression ratio due to a fixed (maximum) stroke length. 

Viscous Liquid Transfer 

Standard IX series is capable of pumping liquid viscosities of up to 1000mPa·s. Contact us for higher viscosity applications. When transferring viscous liquid, the discharge rate may decrease. Custom orders are also available for viscosities of 1000mPa·s and above. Please contact us for details. 

IP65 

Drive and control units are sealed separately to an IP65 enclosure. 

Compliant to World Standards 

One of the IX features is multi-voltage operation (100 – 240VAC) compatible worldwide. Compliant to UL, CE standards. 

Constant Injection With Low Impact 

Flow control via discharge speed adjustment (with a fixed suction speed) assures constant injection at any flow rate. This system also reduces impact (inertia force) and load to the discharge line. 

Cavitation Prevention 

When pumping viscous liquids, suction stroke speed can be varied to avoid developing cavitation. (Programmable suction speed: 75%, 50% or 25% of the normal speed) 

Degassing 

Keypad operation or the contact signal (AUX) runs the pump at maximum spm in any mode for degassing. 

Calibration 

The pump is calibrated prior to shipment, however we recommend recalibration when installed in your system due to pipe layout and liquid properties. 

Operation History 

Controller memory logs the total power connection time, operating time, number of strokes and number of power-up events. 

Automatic Control 

The IX can run in analogue, pulse, batch or interval batch modes. 

Safety Design 

Standard to all models is a diaphragm rupture detector, protecting users and the environment. Also, a detector for abnormal operation protects the pipework in case of an accidental high discharge pressure caused by clogging or improper operation. A drain hole also ensures safe operation even when the diaphragm is damaged. In some cases it may not be able to detect sudden rises in pressure occurring in shutoff operation. If the piping or machinery in use has low pressure resistance, install a separate safety valve. 

Excellent Utility 

Excellent Corrosion Resistance. PVDF with excellent corrosion resistance is used as standard for the wet end materials. The 100% fluororesin diaphragm also supports liquid transfer, which is easily permeable to gas. 

LED Status Bar. A large LED status bar provides simple visual indication of operating conditions at a glance. It is easily visible to see the pump status at a distance or in dark locations. 

Flexible Connections. Tubing, Threaded, Flanged or Union (Made by George Fisher) connections are available as standard options providing easy installation for any application. 

Flexible Installation 

The IX-B Pumps have been designed to be installed into various locations. The control unit can easily be repositioned by customers on-site. The pump can also be relocated from base mounted to wall mounted without any extra parts required. IX-B-S6 cannot be wall-mounted. 

Applications

  • Chemical industry
  • Metallurgy
  • Food industry
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Metal plating
  • Water treatment 

Advantages

Motor 

The energy-saving brushless DC-Motor (BLDC) achieve a control range of 1:1000. This motor technology offers the advantage of a higher power output compared to stepper motors which are frequently used in comparable metering pumps. 

Resistance 

The combination of the non-elastomeric, durable PTFE diaphragm with outstanding permeation characteristics and the PVDF pump head ensures best chemical resistance. Additional the high compression pump head construction (pat.) provides excellent degassing capability. 

Flexible installation 

The hand adjustable control unit offers a variety of install and built-in possibilities without any extra parts. Additional brackets for wall mounting the pump are eliminated, the easy removable base can be placed on both pump sides. The types of connection offer a number of varieties as well: Tubing, flanged or threaded connections for union nut are available. 

Control unit with LED status bar 

A large LED status bar provides simple visual indication of operating conditions at a glance, from distance as well as in dark places the pump status is always visible. The pumps are featured with different modes of operation like manual, pulse, analog and batch as well as PROFIBUS-DP. The desired settings are managed via a multilingual, user-friendly LCD display. Important operating data, such as flow rate, operating time, number of strokes etc. can be easily checked at any time via the operator menu. 

Safety design 

For increased safety during operation, all models are equipped with a diaphragm rupture sensor and overpressure sensor as well as a power supply unit for worldwide use (100-240VAC 50/60Hz).
