MILACRON CIMCOOL MIX MASTER PROPORTIONER II User manual

WARNING:
Do not use the proportioner
where water pressure exceeds
90 psig (620 KPa). Do not use
the proportioner with a water
supply temperature above
170°F (77°C). Use caution
when handling chemicals;
wear protective eyewear and
gloves to prevent contact with
the chemicals. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in
personal injury.

ids, obtain the Product Infor-
mation Folder(s) and follow the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS/INSTALLATION GUIDE
DESCRIPTION
The CIMCOOL Mix Master II is a
simple, economical, and accurate
method to mix CIMCOOL metalworking
fluid concentrate with water. The most
important requirement in the use of
metalworking fluids is maintaining the
proper mix ratio. The Mix Master II
siphons concentrate from a 55 gallon
or ( 200 L) drum and mixes it with water
to supply approximately 3 to 4* gallons
per minute of premixed fluid for an
individual machine tool reservoir, central
system, or premix tank. This is
accomplished by a siphoning venturi
operating on water pressure.
The two main requirements for
successful operation of the equipment
are a minimum water pressure of 15
psig (101 KPa) (flow pressure) and
selection of the proper metering tip.
The unit features a vacuum breaker to
prevent backflow of fluid concentrate to
the tap water line (in compliance with
OSHA regulation 29 CFR section
1910.141 (b)(2)(iii)).
The unit also features a foot valve/
strainer to prevent backflow of
concentrate into the drum.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The CIMCOOL Mix Master II is de-
signed to be installed in the bung open-
ing (either two inch (5.0 cm) or ¾ inch
(1.9 cm)) of a 55 gallon (200 L) fluid
concentrate drum. Alternately, the
proportioner can be mounted on a wall.
The CIMCOOL Mix Master II has a
bung swivel connector that makes it
unnecessary to remove the tap water
supply hose when changing from an
empty to a full drum.
Two ¼ inch (.6 cm) holes are provided
on the proportioner retaining bracket
for wall mounting. The 2 inch (5.0 cm)
bung connector must be removed to
mount the proportioner to the wall.
For proportioner installation:
1. Remove either the two inch (5.0
cm) or ¾ inch (1.9 cm) bung from
the upright drum.
2. Insert the foot valve/siphon hose
into the bung opening.
3. When mounting on a drum, tighten
the bung swivel connector (turn
clockwise to the drum).
4. Install a water line (½ inch (1.3 cm)
I.D.) to the proportioner. The
proportioner has a ¾ inch (1.9 cm)
female garden hose fitting water
supply connection.
5. Select and insert the proper meter-
ing tip to use with the proportioner.
Thread the metering tip into the
orifice retainer by hand. Do not
over-tighten.
MIX RATIOS
The CIMCOOL Mix Master II is a ven-
turi type proportioner which depends
on water prsesure and a metering tip
to obtain a particular mix ratio.
One set of color-coded plastic meter-
ing tips is enclosed with each unit.
Please refer to Table 1 for Tip Identifi-
cation Chart.
Contact CIMCOOL Technical Service
(513-458-8199) for selecting the proper
metering tip to obtain the recom-
mended metalworking fluid concentra-
tion. The mix ratios were obtained at a
flow pressure of 40 psig (275 KPa).
Checking the actual mix ratio or con-
centration obtained at startup with a
refractometer or titration kit is recom-
mended.
Variation in fluid temperatures and
water pressures will have a slight af-
fect on the mix ratio. These variations
can be minimized by
1. Installing a pressure regulator on
the water line (remembering that
the minimum water pressure is 15
psig (101 KPa) to operate the
proportioner).
2. Using the fluid concentrate at room
temperature.
Please be aware that changing the dis-
charge hose length will affect the mix
ratio. The discharge hose must have
an open or gravity discharge and the
flooding ring must be installed in the
discharge hose for proper operation of
the proportioner.
MAINTENANCE
The CIMCOOL Mix Master II Propor-
tioner features simple operation and
low maintenance. With few moving
parts there is little to wear out. How-
ever, it is recommended that the ven-
turi assembly and metering tip area are
inspected periodically to insure that no

residue is forming on the unit. If a resi-
due or scale is forming (most likely due
to hard water reacting with the prod-
uct), cleaning with warm water and a
cleaning fluid designed to remove scale
is recommended. As the tubing shows
signs of deterioration, replacement is
recommended.
