Graco Introduces E-Flo DC Electric Drive Pumps – The Next Generation of High Performance Industrial Pumps

Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling
equipment, today unveiled its new high-performance E-Flo® DC (Dual
Control) line of industrial pumps ideally suited for paint
finishing applications.
Graco’s E-Flo® DC electric circulating pumps are designed to
operate by maintaining either constant pressure or a constant flow
rate. They are five times more efficient than similarly sized
pneumatic pumps, resulting in significantly lower electric bills
for the end user. In addition, they operate quietly – more than 20
dbA’s quieter than OSHA’s continuous sound regulation for an eight
hour work day.
“The E-Flow DC combines the best features of pneumatic and
electric circulation pumps," said Bill Heuer, Product Marketing
Manager, Industrial Products Division. “It maintains constant fluid
pressure like pneumatic pumps while delivering cost savings through
the use of a highly efficient electric motor. Ultimately, the Dual
Control technology not only provides more consistent finishes, but
saves customers money by using less energy.”
To protect the pumps from premature wear, the E-Flo line was
developed with an integrated runaway protection system that is
standard on all models. “With runaway protection, the E-Flo DC pump
automatically shuts off if material has stopped flowing to the
pump,” said Heuer. “This safety mechanism not only prevents costly
material loss, but also reduces maintenance and increases longevity
of the product.”
E-Flo DC pump models include Basic and Advanced. The Basic model
offers local control with two simple control knobs located directly
on the pump, making it easy to adjust the pump settings. The
Advanced model features a digital control module for additional
performance control and the ability to manage multiple pumps from a
single module. It also has the ability to easily integrate with a
customer’s Programmable Logic Controller network via fiber
optics.
"The E-Flo DC is the ideal solution for customers wishing to
upgrade their existing paint circulation systems,” said Heuer. “The
E-Flo DC pumps have a small footprint and are a great solution for
a replacement pump. The pumps are easy to install, requiring only
single-phase 110/220 volt, 50/60 Hz power with no Variable
Frequency Drive required.”
