What products can I use in the Fusion 800?
We recommend our range of water treatment solutions as we can offer our expert advice and we are sure of their quality, but the Fusion 800 is a large scale mixer that can be used with many types of solution. As the mixing tank is plastic and the blades made from stainless steel, the Fusion 800 can be used with industrial water with a wide range of pH, further enhancing the treatment spectrum.
Does the mixer use a lot of air?
This is a question that we are often asked and our answer is that the Fusion requires very little air to operate. The way that the tank is used can differ between installations with some having the mixing running continuously whilst others will only mix when the tank is full and they are undertaking a treatment. When mixing continuously (normally to stop paint settling prior to a treatment) the paddle is generally running very slowly so the pressure gauge will be set well below 1 BAR. When undertaking a treatment the pressure will be set higher but how high will depend upon the treatment being undertaken and the speed of mixing required, the paddle may be set at around 1.5 BAR and increased to 2.5 BAR for a short burst.
What is the best method to remove the water?
As the mixing tank will generally be used to separate suspended solids held within industrial water we recommend a 1.5" diaphragm pump for the removal of the treated water from the mixing tank. A smaller pump can be used but be aware of the size and volume of the suspended particles so that the pump is not overwhelmed. The Fusion 800 is supplied with the extraction hose connectors fitted which match a 1.5" pump however reducers are available to suit the pump you wish to use.
How is it best to fill the tank?
The tank can be filled in a number of different ways so the best method depends upon what is the most suitable for you. The tank has a large top opening (with lid) so waste water can be poured or another container emptied into the tank. There are also threaded holes positioned on both sides, to the rear of the tank, into which hose connectors can be fixed allowing water to be pumped into the tank should this suit you installation.
