Introduction, Conditions of Sale & Warranty

A - Introduction

By selecting a Fast & Fluid Management Color Dispenser you have opted for a product which is the result of
intensive research. Top-quality components, craftsmanship and a modern ergonomic design all serve to
guarantee a long service life and a high degree of user friendliness.

Blendorama Colorant Dispensers have been designed for long life and will withstand the normal wear expected
during use in plant or in store. However, each is a precision machined metering device and should be treated
accordingly

The basic unit of your dispensing system is represented as “Y” (except for metric and hybrid systems), and the
volume of this unit (approx. one fluid ounce) has been determined by the paint manufacturer.
The “Y” unit is further divided into (usually) 32, 48 or 64 sub-units. The basic unit of the metric dispenser is one
milliliter.

With the exception of Models 22/23XC, all feature a small bore inner pump to dispense small amounts of
colorant very accurately. The 1/64, 1/48 or milliliter units are divided further for this inner pump.
