New Electric Supply Pump for High Pressure Applications Delivers Energy Efficiency and Consistency

Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling
equipment, today unveiled its new E-Flo® DC (Dual Control) electric
supply pump ideally suited for high pressure applications.
This new Graco E-Flo® DC pump features an energy efficient
electric brushless DC motor that stalls under pressure and changes
speeds to maintain constant fluid pressure, similar to a pneumatic
air motor.
Ideal for high-pressure applications such as waterborne spraying
or moving high viscosity materials, the E-Flo DC Supply Pump is
designed to operate by maintaining either constant pressure or a
constant flow rate. It is five times more efficient than similarly
sized pneumatic pumps, resulting in significantly lower electric
bills for the end user. In addition, this electric pump operates
quietly – more than 20 db quieter than OSHA’s continuous sound
threshold for an eight hour work day.
“The E-Flo DC Electric Supply Pump was designed specifically for
high pressure applications,” said Bill Heuer, Product Marketing
Manager, Industrial Products Division. “Because the brushless DC
motor provides precise control, it is able to deliver extremely
consistent fluid pressures and flow rates –resulting in more
consistent finishes. Our customers save money on their electric
bill 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 the flow rate exceeds a targeted maximum
value,” said Heuer. “This safety mechanism not only prevents costly
material loss, but also reduces maintenance and increases product
longevity.
"The E-Flo DC is the ideal solution for customers wishing to
save money and reduce noise in their facility,” said Heuer. “They
have a small footprint and are easy to operate and install,
requiring only single-phase 220 volt, 50/60 Hz power with no
Variable Frequency Drive required.”
