MXM is a highly configurable gas‑mixing platform that blends up to 10 gases (pure or pre‑mixed) from sub‑10 SCCM to 50,000 SLPM total flow, with mix accuracy as good as ±0.6% of the targeted percentage and control response times down to ~25 ms, depending on conditions. It ships with an on‑board library of 49 gases (including selected corrosives and refrigerants), a 10.1″ touchscreen interface, and Industry 4.0 connectivity for scripting, remote control and logging (web API, MQTT, RS‑232, analog/digital I/O, local/SQL/cloud logging). Max inlet pressure is typically 145 psig (10 barG).
MXM comes in three form factors to suit lab benches, panels and racks: Turnkey (2–6 channels integrated), Benchtop/Standalone (2–10 channels, external MFC plumbing), and Rackmount (2–10 channels, 4U 19″)—all built around Alicat MFCs and the proprietary MixModule control architecture.
IMX is a compact 9″×10″×10″ industrial mixer for percent‑level blending at 100–3,200 SLPM combined flow, handling up to 4 gases with the same ±0.6% targeted‑mix accuracy and fast response. It includes a backlit TFT keypad (7‑button) for glove‑friendly operation and is pre‑wired for easy integration (RS‑232, EMO, 24 V alarm output, third‑party analyser input). Max inlet pressure is typically 145 psig (10 barG).
Turnkey delivery with PCT (specify → design → commission)
PCT provides end to end gas mixing systems — from specification and CAD/layout, through build and on site commissioning, to training and ongoing support across the UK & Ireland.
We can deliver:
Turnkey “lab in a box” mixers (MXM TK), complete with plumbing and I/O.
Benchtop/rack controllers with remote MFCs for skid integration (MXM SA/MXM RM).
Industrial IMX solutions for fixed plant—percent level blends into headers, buffer vessels or distribution manifolds—with automation via RS 232/PLC and EMO wiring.
Features & benefits (mapped to MXM / IMX)
Accurate, repeatable blends: as good as ±0.6% of the targeted mix; individual channels benefit from Alicat’s fast MFC dynamics and matched tuning. (MXM, IMX).
Fast response = less waste: ~25 ms channel response reduces settle time and off spec gas during recipe changes. (MXM, IMX)
Scales to your process: MXM up to 10 channels / 50,000 SLPM; IMX up to 4 channels / 3,200 SLPM; both rated to ~145 psig. (MXM, IMX)
Wide gas library: 49 pre loaded gases (incl. selected corrosives & refrigerants), plus support for premixes—ideal for calibration, R&D and production atmospheres. (MXM, IMX)
Automation & connectivity: MXM adds web UI, REST API, MQTT, rich data logging (local CSV/SQL/cloud), analog/digital I/O and scripting with if/then logic for unattended sequences. (MXM)
Industrial integration: IMX includes RS 232, EMO hardware, 24 V alarms and analyser input—as standard—inside a compact steel chassis for 24/7 operation. (IMX)
Flexible form factors: MXM offered as Turnkey, Benchtop/Standalone, or Rackmount to match lab benches, test panels or rack rooms. (MXM)
Backed by PCT: UK based design, build and commissioning support, plus lifecycle service.
MXM offers flow or pressure priority operation and can change recipes on the fly; IMX supports fixed flow filling of headers or active line pressure control modes for facility supply.
MXM includes web API, MQTT, RS 232, analog/digital I/O and robust logging (local/SQL/cloud). IMX provides RS 232, EMO interfacing, 24 V alarm output and analyser input for PLC tie in.
Yes. PCT specifies, designs, builds and commissions MXM/IMX systems, from lab in a box to industrial headers, with UK based project support and service.
