Resin metering - mixing unit IntelliFlow RCS3

paintchemical productwith gear pump

Product Overview
Binks IntelliFlow RCS3 is an electronically controlled, gear-pump driven mixing and metering system for 1K, 2K and 3K applications. Designed for high-speed production and accurate proportioning, it provides near-instant trigger response, flushable color and catalyst pumps, and seamless integration with manual or automated applicators. 15-inch touchscreen and cloud connectivity enable remote monitoring and diagnostics.

Key Features

• Accurate, consistent proportioning: multiple DLC-coated gear pump sizes for A and B components to cover 3–2000 cc/min per channel and maintain ±1% ratio tolerance.
• Instantaneous response time: 50 ms ratio response for precise material delivery and reduced waste at high production speeds.
• Flushable color & catalyst pumps: rapid color changes and minimal material waste; resin and hardener pumps flush quickly to maintain purity between formulations.
• Modular color changer with air/solvent purge: graphical interface for programming flush volumes, times and sequences; compatible with air/solvent chop systems for thorough cleaning.
• System flexibility: supports rotary atomizers, bells, disks, electrostatic and non-electrostatic guns; expandable to 8 channels and suitable for manual or automated processes.
• Operator interface and connectivity: 15-inch touchscreen, intuitive app-like UI and built-in cloud and industrial fieldbus connectivity for remote operation and diagnostics.

Benefits

• Consistent quality: precise mixing minimizes defects and ensures uniform finishes.
• Reduced waste: fast response and accurate dosing reduce material consumption and disposal costs.
• Increased productivity: streamlined operation and quick changeovers maximize throughput.
• Improved process control: user-defined zones and optional pyrometer feedback support real-time adjustments for efficient curing.
• Remote monitoring and diagnostics: cloud connectivity enables performance monitoring and troubleshooting off-site.
• Scalable investment: modular architecture supports upgrades and additional channels as production needs evolve.
