2.1 Technical Specifications
ELECTRONIC MIX SOLUTIONS
The Binks EMS system is designed to accurately
mix most two component paints. It will supply any
low- pressure manual or automatic spray gun and
can easily handle very low flow rates or high ratio
materials (greater than 20:1). The system uses real
time metering to accurately dispense and mix the
resin and hardener on-ratio regardless of varying flow
rate as seen in real world paint applications such as
feathering or rapid triggering with manual guns.
Binks EMS units are configurable with many
popular options such as use with up to 6 colors,
programmable flushing, a Dispense Pump flow
sensor, in-booth fluid panel capability, and gun flush
boxes. The system can provide accurate resin and
hardener dispensing from 1:1 to 100:1 ratios. The
high flow capability mated with the control hardware
and software allows use with two spray guns
simultaneously.
The system is easily set up and operated with front
panel switches and a 24-key control pendant with a 3.8 inch
monochrome screen. Manipulation of system parameters is
restricted via password protection.

THE BINKS EMS HAS UNIQUE FEATURES
THAT YIELD SUPERIOR MIXING PERFORMANCE:
Continuous Flow—The mix manifold is designed to
optimize mix quality and minimize internal volume by
receiving Resin (Component A) and Hardener (Component
B) continuously—not in alternating “doses”.
Accurate Dispensing—Control and positioning of the
metering Dispense Pump is precise. An electronically
controlled stepper motor with internal worm gear and shaft
allow for adjustable dispense speeds while maintaining
accuracy.
Ease of Use—The control Pendant is simple to learn, and
efficient to use. It allows easy control of the unit, along with
real time data feedback and in-depth troubleshooting when
alarms occur.
Versatile Configurations— The machine has the ability
to accept up to six different resins, and can be configured
with manual or programmable flushing. It also allows the use
of up to two Gun Flush Boxes.
Intrinsically Safe Option— An intrinsically safe option
enables the fluid panel to be mounted in a spray booth. This
minimizes the waste produced by color changes.
Programmable Flushing—
Set unique flushing options
specific to material needs.
Mounting Options—
The control enclosure can be mounted to a pedestal floor
stand for mobility, or it can be ordered with a wall mount to
be plumbed into an existing workspace.
Low Flow Capability—The design of the Dispense
Pump allows for low hardener flow rates. Very high mix
ratios at low flow rates can be achieved. The standard 200cc
Dispense Pump can accurately dispense hardener as low as
2cc per minute.
Alarm Warnings—The built in alarm system warns the
user of system errors and suggests possible solutions. Help
screens provide troubleshooting information to remedy
system alarms.
Modular Design—All fluid panel sub-assemblies are easily
and quickly removed for maintenance and repair.

7.1 Fluid Connections
FLUID SUPPLY
Material resins and hardeners may be
supplied to the Binks EMS via pressure
tanks, circulating systems, or pumping
systems. Fluid must be delivered
free from pressure spikes and surges,
and entrained air must be avoided. If
feeding directly from a pump, a fluid
regulator is recommended upstream
from the flow meter (or color stack for
multi-color units).
Fluid supplied to the Binks EMS must
also be free of contaminants and solid
particles that may clog or jam the
flow meter gears or other downstream
components. Typical filtration for
paint resins is 100 mesh or smaller.
Contact your Binks representative for
information regarding fluid supply and
conditioning equipment.
NOTE
The inlet fluid pressure of the
Dispense Pump should always be
maintained 5 to 10% above the
outlet pressure. This ensures proper
operation of the Dispense Pump.
For compression fittings with ferrules,
tighten the ferrule nut 1 to 1.5 turns
past finger tight. Do not over tighten, as
exceeding 1.5 turns will likely cause the
ferrules to cut through the tubing.
For pipe threads (NPT) use PTFE tape
or other pipe thread sealant for stainless
steel connections. If using tape, wrap
clockwise two to three times around the
threads. Ensure tape does not protrude
beyond threads. If using liquid sealant,
apply sealant bead completely around
2nd male thread.

7.2 Fluid Connection Descriptions
F1 Inlet to Dispense Pump. Fitting is 3/8” NPS
male. Thread in upper block is 1/8 NPT female.
Connect hardener/catalyst supply directly to inlet
of Dispense Pump or Dispense Pump Flow Sensor
if equipped. If feeding directly from a pump a
fluid regulator between the pump and resin flow
meter / color stack is recommended. Contact your
Binks representative for more information on fluid
regulators and related manuals.
NOTE
Multicolor System illustration (Section 7.1) shows optional
Dispense Pump Flow Sensor. This is a recommended
option if pressure tanks are used to supply hardener/
catalyst to Dispense Pump. Dispense Pump Flow Sensor
will alarm Binks EMS when pressure tank runs out of
hardener / catalyst or if a supply valve is closed.
F2 Dispense Pump outlet. Outlet thread on
Dispense Pump body is 1/8 NPT. 1/4’’ OD compression
fitting is used. 1/4’’ OD FEP tube travels from here
into F3 (mix manifold hardener/catalyst inlet).
F3 Mix Manifold hardener / catalyst inlet. 1/4” OD
compression fitting. Connects to Dispense Pump
outlet F2.
NOTE
The check valve is required for proper operation.
Programmable Flush version with poppet valves includes
a 3/8” NPS fitting.
F4 Solvent inlet (single color). Shown with
automatic flushing valves. Used only on single-color
systems. Manual version is supplied with a ball valve,
check valve, and a 3/8” NPS male fitting to connect
to solvent supply.
F5 Solvent inlet (color stack). When multiple colors
are used the flush solvent inlet is located at the
top right side of the color stack. A 1/4” NPT male
threaded check valve is supplied in the inlet of the
color stack. Attach solvent supply line to the
3/8” NPS male adapter.
F6-F11 represent the optional number of colors
(1-6), (1-5 if two gun flush boxes are used). Port
threads are 3/8” NPT female. Plugs will be supplied
in back.
F12 Outlet of the color stack, inlet for the flow meter.
When multicolor unit is purchased the flow meter is
mounted directly to color stack to ensure the least
amount of material used when flushing or loading.
Fittings supplied are 1/4" NPT to 3/8” tube stub.
F13 Flow meter outlet. Thread on flow meter is
1/4” NPT female. 3/8” OD compression fitting is
supplied. Fluid flows from here to the resin inlet of
the mix manifold (F14).
