One 2-way Carrier Input Valve Plumbing
FIGURE A is a diagram of a singular carrier input system with a 2 way carrier valve. Make note the order of components in the carrier line.
1. Carrier Flowmeter
2. Split off for Rinse Lines
3. Carrier Valve
4. The rest of the Mixmate components
5. Main Pump
Product Lines (Green lines in each diagram)
A 1.25 inch hose is recommended for product lines between totes and input valves. This size allows good flowrates while also keeping the amount of product held in the hose at a low volume.
Rinse Lines (Red lines in each diagram)
As shown in figures above, the rinse line tees off between the main carrier meter and the carrier valve. The pressurized side of the rinse pump goes directly into the Mixmate inductor. The non-pressurized side supplies the stack manifold.
Rinse Pump Sizing for pressurizing Inductor Rinse ONLY
Minimum pump requirement here is a pump that can maintain 25 psi at 25 gallons/minute. This typically takes at minimum a 2 HP self priming pump to maintain. The maximum pressure rating is 100 psi.
