General overview - Painting applications
POMTAVA is your perfect partner for your painting application. Since 1986, thousands painting gear pumps have been in-
stalled successfully worldwide. POMTAVA gear pumps are known for their outstanding accuracy, their excellent flushability
and their great lifetime.

POMTAVA gear pumps can be used with pressure up to 15 bars. Depending on pump type, revolution speed can go up to
200 rpm.

All parts of gear pump are made in tempered stainless steel, very resistant to wear out. Other parts like connecting blocks
or bypass blocks can also be made in light weight hard anodized aluminum.

In order to get even from the pump by increasing its performance, a special coating called ADLC can be applied to all parts
in contact with the metered product. This state of the art surface treatment of only several microns hardens the tempered
stainless steel, increasing the pump lifespan. It also decreases the friction coefficient of the surface, improving a lot the
gear pump flushability.

We can deliver not only the gear pumps, but also a lot of components for your installation, like paint changers, pressure
regulators, 2 components mixer, servo motor, pressure sensors, etc.

Painting gear pumps series
..22 series - Ultra fast flush and very good robustness
The flushing technology of this new 2622 pump type allows the pump to be flushed in less than 9 seconds with 40 rpm ! It
is thus your perfect choice for your demanding applications (base coat, primer coat,...) where a lot of paint changes occur.
Inner design improves the flushability like never before. A second pneumatic valves on the bypass block is there to control
a flushing medium injection through both drive and idler shafts, allowing the hardest “dead zones” of the gear pump to be
completely cleaned in a really short time. This pump is coated with ADLC and its drive shaft height and connecting ports are
100% compatible with our other pump series ..11 and ..18.

Pump modularity

All POMTAVA metering gear pumps can be configured with different connecting blocks, and several drive shaft heights.
For gear pumps prepared for bypass function (1611-4-2, 2611-4-2, 3611-4-2, 1618-4-2, 2618-4-2), two kinds of bypass
block can be installed, standard or with solvent injection.

Our new rUVolution metering gear pump succeeds where all other gear pumps had failed so far. It is now finally
possible to meter UV based paints continuously and pulsation free. rUVolution is designed in order to eliminate
all big friction spots inside the pump which generated issues due to UV transformation. No sealing maintenance
required thanks to its magnetic coupling. This pump is available in different ouputs, with or without the driving motor.

Dispense Control Device (DCD)

Safe metering for your production

The Dispense Control Device (DCD) is the result of the cooperation
between POMTAVA and the german flowmeter manufacturer KEM
Küppers. It consits in a metering gear pump with an intergrated
gear flowmeter and guarantees therefore a reliable metering in
your fully automated production for silicon, epoxy, paints, glues
and PU components.

Bypass blocks
POMTAVA bypass block is of course used for its bypass function, but not only. Its design guides the flushing product along
the bottom of gear teeth, increasing the flushability of zones which are usually really tough to clean. It is therefore really
important not to turn too quickly during flushing cycles, in order not to “close” the bypass channel with the gear teeth pass-
ing too fast in front of the channel.

Pneumatic valve type 410-C and 400-E

POMTAVA pneumatic valves type 410-C and 400-E are monostable

function needle valves, with a return spring for the closed position.
Operating is done with compressed air. This valve is designed in order
to resist against most of known paints and solvents on the market. It
can also be used with heated liquids.

Paint changers

POMTAVA paint changers are particularly well suited when we work with differents paints / hardeners and only one gear
pump. Pneumatic valves allow to select which paint we want to work with. A POMTAVA paint changer is entirely made in
stainless steel. It is extremely well flushable, without any dead zones. The paint changers can be embedded directly on the
robot arm in order to save paint and flushing product as well.

2K Mixer - PTMIX
PTMIX combines a compact design and a very good efficiency. It is made in
stainless steel, long lasting and very well flushable. Each component input is
controlled by a pneumatic valve and enters in the block in separate channels.
Union of the 2 components is done after special designed non return valves, so
any contamination is avoided. PTMIX is available in different configurations :
without dump valve, with dump valves on 1 or both components. Each version
is moreover available with 1 flushing medium input for both sides or 2 separate
flushing medium inputs.
