Walchem's IX Series Metering Pumps
A new class of advanced metering pumps! Walchem'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. Highly precise control offers a solution for a variety of dosing applications.
Walchem's IX Series Metering Pumps
High Turndown Ratio
Motor control adjusts the discharge and suction speeds to meet a full and accurate turndown ratio of 750:1 (300 l/h to 200 ml/h).
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 high accuracy of ±1%.
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 maintains high compression in each stroke resulting in fast priming and no airlock at any flow rate up to rated pressures.
Walchem's IX Series Metering Pumps Attributes
- Maximum viscosity: IX-C: 1000 cps IX-D: 300 cps (standard pumps - consult factory for higher viscosities)
- Maximum discharge capacity is rated with clean water at ambient temperature at maximum discharge pressure. Output may
- increase as pressure decreases.
- 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: 0-90% RH (Non-condensing in the controller)
- Maximum dry suction lift is 6.5 ft. (2m).
- 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.
- Pumps should always be shielded from direct exposure to the elements
