ProMix® 2KS and 3KS
Two- and Three-Component Electronic Proportioning System
Increase Efficiency
and Productivity!
Graco’s Electronic Proportioners
ProMix® 2KS offers precise and reliable electronic
proportioning for a broad range of solventborne,
waterborne and acid catalyzed materials.
From entry level to upgraded applications, the
ProMix 2KS provides flexibility and increased
efficiency – including optimized flushing
sequences and an optional third purge
valve to properly manage waterborne
urethanes for manual and automatic operation.
Upgrade to ProMix 3KS
ProMix 3KS offers precision mixing of three
component materials and accurately reduces
your material to the correct spray viscosity as
conditions change.
ProMix 2KS Features
• Manual and automatic configurations
• Intrinsically safe fluid panels allow for integration into
hazardous areas*
• Single or multi-color and catalysts
• Accurate ratio assurance for superior finish quality
• Simple programming allows fast set up and efficient
process control
• Advanced web interface provides consolidated
system management and reporting
Key Materials
• Solventborne epoxies and polyurethanes
• Waterborne epoxies and polyurethanes
• Acid catalyzed materials
Why Electronic Proportioning?
• Offers the highest degree of ratio assurance
• Provides critical process variable feedback
• Built-in system safeguards
• Effective color change solution
• Efficient material tracking and reporting

*All accessories and installations need to meet local, state and national codes
Three Systems in One
Use up to 30 colors and 4 catalysts
ProMix 2KS is available in a variety of system level configurations. Each one includes an EasyKey™ display
along with a Smart Fluid Panel. Color and catalyst change is easily integrated with a plug-and-play control
module and valves.

Manual Wall Panel
Manual systems benefit from an additional
Remote Operator Station that allows fingertip
control inside the spray booth.
Automatic Wall Panel
Optional flow control is cleanly integrated without incorporating
a mixed material line meter. Pressure and flow loops provide
fast step changes with superior closed loop control.
3
Automatic RoboMix Panel
This fluid panel can be easily integrated near the spray
gun for a shorter mixed material line, faster color changes
and less waste. Also available with flow control.

Wall & RoboMix Fluid Panel Features
Productive Panels
Intrinsically safe fluid panels offer increased proportioning and flushing functionality, resulting in improved process performance.
Versatile Dosing
Multiple sequential dose sizes allow the system to meet a broad range of applications without sacrificing performance and quality.
Dynamic dosing provides additional proportioning technology to meet unique applications needs.
On-Ratio Performance
Volume based dosing provides exceptional ratio accuracy across varying flow rates or gun triggering conditions. On-the-fly
monitoring and compensation enhance performance and finish quality.
Consistent Mix Quality
Optimized mix chamber hardware, along with high-speed processors and dispense valves, generate precise performance and
consistent, high quality mixed material.
Fast Color Change with Reduced Waste
New fluid manifold design reduces material volume and streamlines fluid porting for cleaner flushing. Manifold dump valves allow
simultaneous purging and loading – reducing color change time and providing better waste containment.
• Up to 50:1 mix ratio for a variety of applications
• Up to 4000 psi (275.6 bar) working pressure for single
color and catalyst, supports all spray technologies
• Supports two manual spray guns and gun flush boxes
RoboMixWall Panel
• Up to 50:1 mix ratio for a variety of applications
• Up to 250 psi (17.2 bar) working pressure
• Lightweight, compact design allows easier
integration closer to the spray gun
• Can be interfaced with manual spray guns
