Peristaltic Pump for 2-part Epoxy
Peristaltic Pump for 2-part Epoxy
(OP)
I've never use one of these pumps and would like help going the right direction.
The 2-part epoxy needs to be dispensed at a 4:1 ratio. If the pump were to run at all times, it would need total dispense rate of one GPH with ability to increase or decrease rate as needed.
Please let me know if I should post this elsewhere. Thanks in advance.

You will get erratic results if you try to use a big tube and a little tube, or two pumps at different speeds.
Contrary to popular belief, peristaltic pumps' delivery per rotation is sensitive to viscosity and backpressure. It also changes with time as the tubing 'ages'.

The application suggested for this pump is to transfer each material from a 55 gallon drum to their own 5 gallon bucket. The buckets are currently connected to a system that dispenses the material at the correct ratio. I just need to make sure the 5 gallon buckets remain filled.
I can use two pumps for the different materials.
Thanks again for your help.

These people have a lot of information on the site and were good to work with at one time.
