Variomix Gas-Mixer

The varioMix is a compact gas mixer that can produce mixtures of two gases with proportional mixing valves. It allows for individual adjustment of mixture and flow rates between 0-100% with high mixing precision. The gas mixer does not require power and can infinitely vary the mixed gas flow up to 205 l/min. It also features integrated constant pressure regulation and automatic shut-off when gas supply is interrupted.

Gas mixer: varioMix


Compact gas mixer with proportional mixing valve
Gas mixer varioMix for the production of mixtures of two gases

Highlights
• Individual adjustment of mixture and flow rate
• High mixing precision
• Infinitely variable up to 205 l/min (related to air)
• Does not depend on the input pressure difference due to integrated constant
pressure regulation
• Mixture production stops automatically when gas supply is interrupted
• Does not depend on the input pressure difference due to integrated
constant pressure regulation
• Gas inlet filters protect the device against contamination
• Cost savings due to the avoidance of storage of different premixes
• Low maintenance
• Compact, space saving and sturdy design
• Easy to operate and to assemble
• No power supply required
Accessories:
• Safety devices for use with fuel gas
