Can I Use an Air Cylinder for Pumping Alumina-Filled Polyester Resin?

Click For Summary
An air cylinder can be used for pumping alumina-filled polyester resin, as suggested in the discussion. The user is considering a specific pneumatic air cylinder for this purpose and plans to use another cylinder for moving the resin pump. The resin is at normal temperature and in liquid form before mixing with a hardener. A diagram of the proposed system is expected to clarify the setup. Overall, the feasibility of using an air cylinder for this application is being explored.

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.
