Overview
Overview
The Reactor E-10 is a portable, electric-powered, 4:1 mix ratio proportioner, for use with a
wide variety of coatings, foams, sealants, and
adhesives. Materials must be self-leveling and
pourable, and may be applied with impingement mix spray guns, disposable mixer guns,
or flush-type mix manifolds.
Reactor E-10 is siphon-fed from 5 gallon pails
that can be mounted on the unit.
Severe duty, positive displacement reciprocating piston pumps meter fluid flow to the gun for
mixing and applying. When set to recirculation
mode, Reactor E-10 will circulate fluids back to
the 5 gallon pails.
The Reactor E-10 includes separate thermostatically controlled heaters for each fluid. Digital displays show the temperatures of the two
fluids.
An electronic processor controls the motor,
monitors fluid pressures, and alerts the operator if errors occur. See STATUS Indicator,
page 10, for further information.
Reactor E-10 has two recirculation speeds,
slow and fast, and an adjustable pressure output.
Slow Recirculation
• Slow circulation results in a higher temperature transfer in the heater, so hoses and
gun heat up quicker.
• Good for touchup or low flow spraying, up
to moderate temperature.
• Not used to circulate full tanks up to temperature.
Fast Recirculation
• Use to support higher flow rates or higher
temperatures by preheating the tanks.
• Agitates fluid within tanks, to avoid heating
only the fluid at the top of the tank.
• Use for flushing.
Pressure Adjust
An air compressor provides and regulates air
pressure for the spray gun.
Automatically maintains selected pressure output for dispensing or spraying.
Keep Components A
and B Separate
CAUTION
To prevent cross-contamination of the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange component A (white fluid) and component B (red
fluid) parts.

1. Locate Reactor E-10
a. Locate Reactor E-10 on a level
surface.
b. Do not expose Reactor E-10 to
rain.
2. Electrical requirements
Improper wiring may cause electric shock or
other serious injury if work is not performed
properly. Have a qualified electrician perform
any electrical work. Be sure your installation
complies with all National, State and Local
safety and fire codes.
Connect Reactor E-10 to the correct power
source for your model. See TABLE 2. Models
with two power cords must be connected to
two separate, dedicated circuits. See FIG. 5.
3. Ground system
b. Generator (if used): follow your
local code. Start and stop generator with power cord(s) disconnected.
c. Spray gun: grounded through the
supplied fluid hoses, connected
to a properly grounded Reactor
E-10. Do not operate without at
least one grounded fluid hose.
d. Object being sprayed: follow your
local code.
e. Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow your local code. Use only
metal pails, which are conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place pail on a
nonconductive surface, such as
paper, plastic, or cardboard,
which interrupts grounding continuity.
f. To maintain grounding continuity
when flushing or relieving pressure, hold a metal part of spray
gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger
gun.
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of static and electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a
short circuit.

operation. Moving parts can cause serious
injury such as pinching or amputation. Keep
hands and fingers away from wet-cup dur-
ing operation. Shut off Motor Power
before filling wet-cup.
Using a drill and mixing blade, mix filled or
separated materials in the pail. Material
left in the tanks overnight may need to be
remixed.
