About 2KM
2KM traces its origins to 1976 in Germany, where two partners founded 2 Komponenten Maschinenbau GmbH in Marienheide, near Cologne, with the goal of building robust machines for processing reactive two-component polymer materials. The company grew steadily as a family-oriented business, supplying more than 5,000 machines globally and establishing a UK subsidiary in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire in 1998. That UK operation has since become a significant manufacturing and engineering center in its own right, designing and commissioning its own PGM machine range entirely in-house.
The core of the 2KM product lineup is the Process Gear Mix (PGM) series, a family of gear-pump-driven two-component metering and dispensing machines available in configurations ranging from the entry-level PGM 100 through the higher-output PGM 520 and the multi-component PGM 720, as well as application-specific variants including the PGM 400, PGM Gel Coat, PGM Laminat, and PGM Silicone. For high-viscosity adhesive bonding of large composite structures, the PolyMix series — including the PolyMix 400, PolyMix 1900, and PolyMix 1000/2000 — uses progressive cavity feeding linked to large-capacity gear pumps to deliver high flow rates with minimal heat generation. The ResinMix range, offered in 2C and RTM variants, handles epoxy resin infusion with inline vacuum degassing and variable flow rates up to 60 liters per minute. The PolyTool 8120 and 8420/8460 round out the lineup for tooling paste and low-density paste applications.
2KM metering and mixing systems are used across a wide range of demanding end markets. Wind energy blade manufacturing is a flagship application, where PolyMix and PGM machines meter and dispense structural adhesives and epoxy pastes for blade bonding and mold production. Other key industries include composites and marine manufacturing, automotive structural bonding, electronics encapsulation and potting, medical device production, electrical insulation, flexible packaging lamination, filtration, and subsea applications — spanning eleven distinct industry sectors in total.
Buyers seeking used 2KM metering and mixing equipment are drawn by the brand's reputation for mechanical durability and long service life, underpinned by nearly five decades of continuous engineering refinement. The PGM and PolyMix platforms are built around standard industrial components — inverter-controlled AC motors, precision gear pumps, and stainless steel wetted parts — which makes sourcing replacement parts straightforward and keeps maintenance costs predictable. Because 2KM machines are typically specified for critical production processes where ratio accuracy is non-negotiable, they are built to tight tolerances and tend to retain reliable performance well into their second decade of use, making the used market an attractive route for manufacturers looking to add proven dispensing capacity at a fraction of new-machine cost.
