Please refer to the enclosed machine card (technical data) for the specifica- tions of your unit. 3.1 Intended use The WIWA DUOMIX 230 is intended for the application of low, medium and high viscosity spray painting and coating materials for commercial and industrial applications. Any other use is considered unintended. Should you intend to use the unit for other purposes or with other materials and thus not for the purpose it is intended for, you must ask WIWA for permission –...
Unit description 3.2 Unit configuration Due to its modular design the WIWA DUOMIX 230 offers individual solutions for almost all possible areas of application. The units shown in Fig. 7 and 8 are examples for the manifold installation and extension variants.

Unit description 3.5 Maintenance unit The DUOMIX 230 may be equipped with a standard maintenance unit or a main- tenance unit with remote controlled compressed air control. 3.5.1 Standard maintenance unit OPEN CLOSE Fig. 21: Standard maintenance unit No. Description Compressed air shut-off valve to open and close the compressed air supply.
Instead of the remote controlled compressed air control units with 2 com- pressed air regulators and pressure gauges, the DUOMIX 230 can be equipped with a remote controlled compressed air control unit with 4 compressed air regulators and pressure gauges, enabling central regulation of main pump, flushing pump and feed pumps.
Disconnect the entire power supply – even for short transport distances. ➤ Empty the unit before transportation – fluid residues may escape during ➤ transport, despite this measure. Remove all loose components (e.g. tools) from the unit. ➤ Assemble the parts or fittings dismantled for transport purposes before start ➤ up professionally and in compliance with the intended use. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Transport, installation and assembly 4.2 Installation location The DUOMIX 230 can be installed inside and outside spray booths. However, out- door installation should be preferred in order to avoid contamination. WARNING If operating an outdoor unit during a thunderstorm, a lightning can cause a life-threatening situation for the operating personnel.
Connect the compressed air line to the air maintenance unit. 4.3.4 Grounding the unit WARNING The high flow velocities associated with the Airless spraying method may cause static charging. Static discharges can cause fire and explosion. The owner of the unit must get the unit properly grounded. ➤ Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Transport, installation and assembly The DUOMIX 230 comes with a ground cable as standard. This cable is already connected to one of the high pressure filters upon delivery. In order to ground the unit, the clamp of the ground cable is connected to an electrically conductive object.
Open the spray gun, until clean flushing agent starts to run out. Only on versions with pressure and dosing control (see chapter 3.6.1 on page 25): Set the switch “Manual / Automatic” to “Manual” and press the start button. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
“Manual / Automatic” to “Automatic”. Check the pressure indication on the pressure gauges of the high pressure filters. These must show almost identical pressure values. The unit is now ready for operation. You can start coating. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
This way you will achieve perfect, soft and smooth overlapping of the spray jet and excessively thick application of material at the beginning of the coating process is avoided. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Regulate the compressed air pressure regulator for the main pump fully back. Operate the spray gun until the material pressure is relieved completely. Flush the unit as described in chapter 5.3. Regulate the air pressure regulator for the flushing pump fully back. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
2 - 3 bar. Set the levers at the mixing unit to “Circulate“. Regulate the air pressure regulator of the main pump so that the main pump runs slowly. Close the return flow as soon as clean flushing agent starts to run out of the return flow hoses. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Rests of spraying material, cleaning agent, oils, greases and other chem- ➤ ical substances must be collected in accordance with statutory provisions concerning recycling and waste disposal. The official local waste water laws are valid. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Maintenance and repair work on electrical components must only be per- ➤ formed by skilled electricians – any other maintenance and repair work only by the WIWA Customer Service or specially trained personnel. Before maintenance and repair work: Shut off the compressed air supply.
Operation of the unit must only be started if the oil reservoir of the fog oiler contains a sufficient amount of oil for the air motors. In case of high humidity you should use an antifreeze agent for lubrication, to avoid icing of the air motor. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
If the release agent is found to be contaminated with material residues you must assume that the packing of the related material pump is worn. In this case have the pump packing replaced as soon as possible. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Check the O-ring – replace if damaged. Assemble the high pressure filter as described in work steps 1 and 2, but in reverse order. With high pressure filters versions R and RS you should strictly lubricate all threads with the lubricant for stainless steel (WIWA order-no. 0000233) to enable easier assembly and disassembly. 6.6 Drying the moisture filter If the material drum of the hardener is fitted with a moisture filter, the granulate in the filter must be dried at the latest when it is saturated. With increasing moisture content the colour of the granulate changes from orange to transpar- ent.
The standard suction screen should remain in the screen housing or be replaced by a coarse mesh screen. In case of a material change both the filter element in the high pressure filter and the metal screen in the suc- tion system must be cleaned or, if necessary, replaced. Translation of the original operation manual DUOMIX 230 DM230_BAoDB_en_1307 · rs...
Maintenance 6.9 Special tools The DUOMIX 230 comes with the following special tools: T-handle to open the high pressure filters Attention: The high pressure filter must only be opened after the pressure has been relieved!
