About the Manufacturer
Integrated Proportioning & Mixing
IPM — Integrated Proportioning and Mixing — builds spray foam equipment with a clear philosophy: keep it simple, keep it reliable, and keep it affordable. Where Graco and PMC have gravitated toward feature-rich machines with sophisticated electronics and hydraulic systems, IPM has stayed focused on what matters most for the majority of spray foam contractors: equipment that starts every morning, runs all day, and doesn't require a factory technician when something goes wrong.
IPM systems are electric-hydraulic proportioners that strip away the complexity without compromising the fundamentals of accurate material proportioning and consistent heat. Contractors who use IPM equipment regularly cite low maintenance costs, good parts availability, and the ability to train new operators quickly as the main reasons they stick with the brand.
Oak Ridge sells, services, and supports IPM equipment. We stock common IPM parts and can help you configure an IPM system for your specific application and crew size.
IPM Equipment
Electric Hydraulic Proportioning Systems
IPM offers a range of electric-hydraulic proportioners scaled from entry-level to commercial production. All models share the same core design principles: simple controls, accessible service points, and reliable performance in field conditions.
IPM systems are priced meaningfully below comparable Graco and PMC units. For contractors who need professional proportioning equipment without the premium brand cost, IPM delivers strong value at every output tier.
IPM machines use straightforward controls without elaborate touchscreen interfaces or complex diagnostic systems. New operators can be trained faster, and experienced contractors don't have to fight the machine to make basic adjustments on the job.
IPM uses a straightforward parts supply chain. Common wear items — pumps, seals, hose fittings, heating elements — are available from Oak Ridge and other distributors. No extended wait times for proprietary components when you need to get back to work.
IPM systems are built for daily commercial use. Contractors running these machines in professional spray foam applications report consistent performance over years of service. Not the lightest or most feature-rich machines on the market, but durable and dependable.

Built for Real Jobsite Conditions
IPM machines are engineered with the practical reality of spray foam work in mind: hot trailers, cold mornings, long days, and contractors who need reliable output from first trigger pull to last. The control systems are intuitive and the machine layout makes daily inspection and startup checks quick and simple.

IPM drum pump and material transfer systems for A and B side components
Material Handling
IPM Drum Pumps & Transfer Systems
Beyond proportioners, IPM manufactures quality drum pump and material transfer systems for handling A-side isocyanate and B-side polyol components. Efficient, reliable drum-to-proportioner transfer is critical to maintaining consistent yields and avoiding the material waste that comes with poorly managed transfer systems.
IPM drum pumps are built for compatibility with their proportioner line but work well as stand-alone transfer systems for contractors using other proportioner brands. Available in heated and unheated configurations to suit different climates and material viscosity requirements.
- Compatible with A-side and B-side drum sizes
- Heated configurations for cold-climate material handling
- Reduces material waste through consistent transfer pressure
- Can be integrated into custom rig packages by Oak Ridge
Right Fit for the Right Contractor
Who Should Consider IPM Equipment
IPM is not the right machine for every contractor — but for the right operation, it's a smart buy. Here's how we think about it.
IPM Is a Strong Fit If You...
- Are starting a spray foam business and need to manage startup costs carefully
- Are doing primarily residential spray foam insulation (open-cell and closed-cell)
- Want a simple machine you can maintain and troubleshoot yourself
- Are buying a second machine for a dedicated foam or coating job type
- Don't need the advanced features of top-tier Graco or PMC machines
You May Want Graco or PMC If...
- You're running large commercial roofing projects requiring maximum output
- You need high-pressure fast-set polyurea coating capabilities
- You require multi-gun operation or very high flow rates
- Your jobs demand the absolute widest available service network
We'll give you a straight answer. Oak Ridge carries Graco, PMC, and IPM. We don't push one brand over another — we ask about your jobs and tell you which machine makes sense. Call 800-625-9577 and we'll have that conversation.

Sold, Serviced, and Supported by Oak Ridge
When you buy IPM equipment from Oak Ridge, you're not just getting the machine — you're getting 40+ years of spray foam equipment experience behind it. We sell IPM, we service IPM, and we support IPM customers after the sale. That means if something goes wrong, you have a real number to call and someone who knows the equipment will pick up.
We can configure an IPM system as a stand-alone proportioner or integrate it into a complete custom spray rig — whether that's a trailer build, truck skid, or skid package for an existing setup. We also stock common IPM replacement parts so you're not waiting weeks for a seal kit when you have jobs on the schedule.
We'll discuss your application, output needs, and budget before recommending any machine. No pressure — just good information so you buy the right equipment the first time.
IPM proportioners can be installed in Oak Ridge custom spray rig builds — properly mounted, wired, and paired with the right generator, hose package, and transfer pump for your setup.
We stock common IPM parts and provide post-sale support for equipment purchased through Oak Ridge. When you have a question or a problem, call us — you'll talk to someone who knows the machine.
