IX-C/D Dosing & Metering Pumps

Highly precise control offers a solution for every chemical dosing application. 

Iwaki’s IX Series 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 meet today’s demand for automated chemical delivery in industries from water treatment to chemical process

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. 

User-friendly design 

For operator convenience, the controller can be mounted in 6 different positions. In addition, the character LCD display with LED backlight and optimized keyboard layout contribute to easy operation.
