The IDEX GX300 is a tinting machine designed for dispensing and mixing paint. It is a robust and efficient device suitable for various applications, from small paint shops to larger industrial settings. The machine is designed to handle universal and solvent colorants, making it versatile for different paint types.
Function Description:
The primary function of the GX300 is to accurately mix paint. It features a can plate (top and bottom) to securely hold paint cans during the mixing process. The machine uses a mixing speed ranging from 80 to 230 rpm, ensuring thorough and consistent blending of colorants. The mixing time can be adjusted using predefined settings (T1: 60 seconds, T2: 120 seconds, T3: 180 seconds) or manually adjusted during operation. An emergency stop switch is integrated for immediate shutdown in case of any safety concerns. The machine also includes a door that locks during operation, enhancing user safety.

Usage Features:
The GX300 is designed for user-friendly operation.
- Control Panel: The machine features a control panel with an emergency stop switch and program keys. The display shows the program menu and available programs.
- Mixing Procedure: To start mixing, the user connects the power cable, ensures the emergency stop switch is released, and turns the main switch to 'ON'. The machine indicates 'RDY' when ready. Cans are placed on the can table, ensuring they are centered and within the specified diameter (max Ø39 cm). For multiple cans, they should be placed in a pattern that has its gravitational center in the middle of the can table. The can handle must be retained to prevent movement during mixing. The door is then closed, and a program key is pressed to start the mixing cycle.
- Adjusting Mixing Time and Speed: The mixing time can be adjusted using the T1, T2, T3 keys, or manually. The mixing speed is automatically set based on the can height (15cm and lower can height = 230rpm; 30cm and higher can height = 130rpm).
- Emergency Stop: The emergency stop switch (A) immediately halts the machine. To resolve a problem after an emergency stop, the user should solve the problem, release the emergency stop switch by turning it, and then turn on the machine.
- Safety Features: The machine incorporates several safety features, including warnings for personal injury, electrical hazards, pinch hazards, and rotating parts. It also has labels on the machine indicating specific safety information, such as when to remove the shield for cans larger than Ø39 cm.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the GX300.
- General Cleaning: After every operation, the machine should be cleaned with a cloth to remove all spilled paint or other liquids.
- Periodic Maintenance (Weekly):
- Remove all spilled paint from the machine.
- Grease the A. Guide bars, B. Spline shaft, C. Lead Screw, D. Bevel gear, and E. Pinion gear using SKF VKG 9/0.5 grease.
- Periodic Maintenance (Monthly):
- Remove all spilled paint from the machine.
- Remove all dry grease from the machine.
- Add new grease.
- Grease the axle and other sliding parts.
- Removing Spilled Paint: If paint is spilled inside the machine, ensure the machine is stopped and remove the drain orifice. Clean the machine with a cloth and remove all spilled paint. Dispose of the spilled paint according to local regulations.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for various error displays, including 'E01' (door open), 'E05' (cradle lock failed), 'E08' (emergency stop switch pushed), 'E48' (mixer motor blocked), 'E38' (no encoder detected), 'E39' (no clamp current), 'E47' (clamp plates sticking), 'E40' (home sensor not found), 'E41' (top of clamp plates not reached in time), 'E42' (clamp plate is sticking on can, cradle lock is stuck), 'E43' (clamp plate is stuck in up position, cradle lock is stuck), 'E50' (inverter in error mode), 'E51' (failed to initialize inverter), 'E54' (failed to run the mixer motor forward), 'E55' (failed to run the mixer motor backward), 'E56' (failed to stop the mixer motor), 'E57' (failed to brake the mixer motor), 'E58' (failed to stop braking the mixer motor), 'E60' (failed to send parameter to inverter), 'E61' (failed to send home command to inverter), 'F00' (parameter is not available), and 'F54' (invalid state value). For most issues, the recommended solution is to restart the machine. For software errors or persistent problems, contacting service is advised.
- Opening Solenoid Lock Manually: In case of power failure, the solenoid lock can be opened manually by inserting a plate into the gap of the top lock and pushing the rod towards the right, then pulling the door gently. For the bottom lock, plastic plugs need to be removed, and a flat screwdriver is used to pull the rod towards the right.
The GX300 is a reliable and efficient tinting machine with comprehensive safety and maintenance guidelines to ensure its long-term performance.
