Extensive gas mixer range of 2 and 3 gas mixer with versions designed for use on M.A.P enabled flow wrap, thermoform, tray seal and bagging packaging equipment. Output capacities from 150L/min to 1000L/min. Operating on a proportion mixing principle, to give a high accuracy of mix regardless of the rate of flow.

The MAP Mix series is based on a proportional gas mixing principle especially designed for packaging machines and other industrial applications where the gases carbon dioxide, oxygen and the inert gases nitrogen and argon are used either in a 2-gas or 3-gas combination.

The mixing principle of the MAP Mix series is very unique and can be used for all types of packaging machines, e. g. flow packaging machines and gas vacuum packaging machines. The PBI-Dansensor gas mixer is very user-friendly with high accuracy – also under conditions usually causing problems for the repeatability of most other mixers.

MAP Mix 9001 ME

The mixer features detection of a too low gas inlet pressure with an alarm relay output to the external control. The standard version of the mixer can among others be combined with PBI-Dansensor”s the microprocessor controlled high quality gas analyser MAP Check Combi and CMV-2.

• High accuracy for optimal mixing quality
• Proportional gas mixing principle
• Prepared for use with a microprocessor controlled gas analyser
• Very high flow rate
• Sturdy industrial design made in stainless steel/aluminium
• Easy mixture adjustment
• Optional ON/OFF solenoid valve for gas flow (to shut off the gas flow on flow packaging machines when the packaging machine stops)

Gas mixer/gas analyser
For some applications it is an advantage to have the gas mixer and the gas analyser together. PBI-Dansensor offers the microprocessor controlled gas analyser MAP Check Combi, which can be mounted together with our mixers.

The analyser, MAP Check Combi, is based on a high accuracy zirconium sensor, developed and manufactured by PBI-Dansensor and featuring complete self-diagnostics, semi-automatic calibration, built-in pump and two alarm levels for O2 concentrations. Optionally MAP Check Combi can be delivered with an additional CO2 sensor. This product is developed to work with our proportional gas mixers on vertical and horizontal flow packaging machines. Addtionally the analyser CMV-2 is available measuring the O2 and CO2 levels when operating with thermoforming and trays sealing machines.

Flexible and ready to install
All our gas mixers will be delivered pre-adjusted and ready to install. PBI-Dansensor also offers electronic gas mixers, which as a special feature will be prepared for easy change of different pre-selected gases. This means that the user easily and safely is able to choose between a number of different gases to be used with the mixer.

Accuracy and optimal blending quality
The MAP Mix series offers an unprecedented linearity in the flow range of 15-100% and mix settings of 10-90%.

Due to the design of the proportional pressure system, deviating pressure conditions on the inlet side have virtually no effect on the accuracy.

Mixing principle

Mixing principle

All our mixers are utilising the advantage of proportional mixing, which means that the mixing is carried out via proportional pressures on the two sides of a diaphragm. This diaphragm ‘absorbs’ the deviation in the inlet pressure which normally is causing changes in the mixing conditions.
