Hello

I need to build a pump to transfer alumina filled polyester resin. Can I use something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1Pcs-KSC50x100-50mm-Bore-100mm-Stroke-Double-Action-Pneumatic-Air-Cylinder-/350908339995?hash=item51b3c4571b ? One to use resin pumping, other for moving the resin pump with air.

Excuse my English, it's not my native tongue

Can you diagram your system? Are you pumping high-temperature melted resin?

Ok, I try to diagram my system on evening.

No, the resin is in normal temperature, it is liquid what is later mixed with hardener.
