New Design Reduces Regular Maintenance and
Improves Durability
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid
handling equipment, has just released a new Sealed 4-Ball Lower.
The lower is compatible with all Graco® circulation pumps,
providing an easy way to upgrade existing Graco pumps. This model
has longer maintenance cycles and does not require throat seal
liquid (TSL), which reduces maintenance costs and unplanned
downtime. Common components also make the lower simpler to maintain
and reduce inventory levels on repair parts.
“In industries where unplanned downtime can be extremely costly,
our new sealed 4-ball lower reduces the need for routine
maintenance,” said Bill Heuer, Graco’s Industrial Products Division
Worldwide Product Marketing Manager. “This combination of longer
maintenance cycles, no TSL™, and common components takes away the
threat of downtime and keeps the system operating longer.”
The lower is completely sealed, so it can be used for every
pumping application in your mix room, including catalyzed coatings.
It also contains the additional security of a backup seal in case
of bellow leakage. “The completely sealed fluid section with
bellows provides leak resistance for even the harshest materials,”
said Heuer. “This redesign is a game-changer for fast-paced
factories using moisture-sensitive materials.”
In addition, the lower features Ultralife Series ceramic coating
on its rods and cylinders. “The Ultralife Series ceramic coating is
now an industry standard for handling the harshest materials,” said
Heuer. “This includes waterborne paints.”
The Sealed 4-Ball Lower is available on all of Graco’s
circulation pump assemblies and is compatible with the Bulldog®,
NXT®, President®, Viscount®, E-Flo® and E-Flo DC circulation pumps.
An open wet cup version is also available, which has many of the
same great features as the sealed version.
