IRIS IBMP: A Submersible, Precision Metering Pump
The In-Barrel Metering Pump (IBMP) from Iris Engineering is designed for precise metering of liquids and additives in a variety of applications where these fluids must be metered from barrels, drums or tanks to a process.
Combining Precision With Versatility
Compare these features with any conventional metering pump and you'll see why the IBMP is fast becoming the standard in precision metering:
- Accuracy to 0.25%
- Pressure to 650 psi
- Flows 10 to 3600 cc/min.
- Viscosities 1 to 25,000 cps
- Repeatable
- Virtually pulseless
- Various control options
The IBMP features a rotary, positive displacement sealless pump which provides a precise, pulseless flow which is easily controllable and repeatable regardless of discharge pressure. And, because the pump is fully submerged at the bottom of the barrel, it can never leak or lose its prime as it meters the liquid down to the last 1/8 of an inch.
Highest Performance at Low Cost
The IBMP is an economical complete system (control, motor and pump) which eliminates costly setups of holding tanks, transfer pumps, check valves, piping and metering pumps. And, because the IBMP is portable, it easily integrates directly into the process and is easy to set up and operate. Precise construction and only three moving parts ensure long life and low maintenance costs.
Typical Applications for the IBMP
- Urethane
- Adhesives
- Paint and Dies
- Finishes
- Lubricants
- Additives
- Water Treatment Chemicals for
pH adjustment, polymer addition
