VPX-2KS is dual component cavity metering spray valve capable of spraying 2,000 chemistries. Servo controlled rotor that seals a rubberized stator produces a continuous flow for each component. Tight tolerance on sealing mechanism reportedly ensures pulse-free and drip-free operation of valve, even with low viscosity fluids. Doesn’t require routine flushing or purging; each component is metered in a separate chamber. A and B components are introduced via a disposable static mixer in the air cap to produce a fine conical shaped pattern. Valve accuracy is +/-2%, dependent on material with a viscosity range of 1 - 100,000cps.
