Fluid Section Information:
VLS-4600 Fluid Section is a part of a modular system that can fit a multiple of applications and a
multiple of configurations by changing a minimum of components. The VLS-4600 is designed to
deliver power, versatility and rugged construction for long lasting use. This fluid section features
Rapid Access Design (RAD) for easy access and maintenance.
Output Capabilities: Up to 8 – 10 lbs / min. (3.63 – 4.54 kg / min.), using GP resin of average
viscosity. As a general rule in the standard 11:1 configuration it will pump a GP resin of 1200cps to
1500cps maximum.
Air Consumption: In a chopper application with 2 strands of glass 18cfm (.5 m
3 / min).

Filler loading: As a general rule using a GP resin and ATH or Calcium Carbonate in an 11:1
pump configuration you can fill up to 20% - 25%, in a 15:1 pump configuration up to 30% - 35%.
Higher percentages can be achieved by using low viscosity resins specially designed for fillers. It
is always a good idea to use resins that are designed for fillers as they will help keep the fillers in
suspension. Using fillers will increase pump wear and maintenance.
