Product Description with Initial Caps and No PeriodPositive Displacement Proportioning System
Page 2
We took the efficiency of an electronic proportioner to a new
level of savings with our ProMix PD2K!
By moving the mixing point closer to the gun, the ProMix PD2K
can reduce solvent use and mixed material waste by up to 80%
compared to traditional electronic proportioners.
This means lower disposal costs of hazardous waste materials
and less wasted paint – especially when you have multiple daily
color changes or short pot life materials.

Reduce Solvent and Material
Waste by up to 80%
The ProMix PD2K saves you time and money by not
only making your job easier, but by reducing material
waste. It’s efficient, convenient and gives you a smooth,
consistent spray for your most challenging applications.
Savings Comparison
See the savings stack up when you compare
the ProMix PD2K to traditional systems.
• Up to 80% reduction in flushing waste over the most
efficient traditional proportioning systems
• Limited mixed material in system - great for short
pot life materials
• Faster color changes and less material to flush mean
less waste and less downtime

Increase Efficiency and Performance
Graco’s unique ProMix PD2K dosing piston pumps Stall Under Pressure
use 100% Positive Displacement Technology so you always get
and
accurate mix ratios and consistent performance – every time you spray!
PD2K
Expansion Pumps
PD2K has the ability to add additional dosingpumps so that you can maximize your savings.
Applications include:
Dedicated Colors Reduce Waste
• Dedicate up to three colors with their
own pumps to achieve the most waste reduction
possible.
One Machine Does MORE
• Use one pair of dosing pumps for epoxy primers
and another pair for urethane top coats. One
machine will do both.
Save Time on Color Changes
• In automatic systems, stage the next color while
one is being sprayed to reduce color change time.
The ProMix PD2K is easy to set up
“
and maintain. It handles various inbound
pressures and viscosities without touchy
fine-tuning, and pumps can be rebuilt
in less than 20 minutes.
