Graco Launches New Radial Piston Air Motors for Industrial Paint Kitchens

New agitator motors use up to 50 percent less
air than comparable rotary vane motors
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid
handling equipment, has expanded its line of paint agitators to
include radial piston air motor driven agitators. Tested
extensively in different conditions in the lab and the field, the
new radial piston air motor typically uses 30 to 50 percent less
compressed air than comparable rotary vane motors at low to medium
speeds.
“Compressed air represents the highest energy cost for many
factories, so lowering compressed air use can mean significant
savings,” said Henry Zeng, Graco Product Marketing Manager for the
Industrial Products Division. “Agitator motors usually use the most
air of any industrial paint kitchen equipment. This makes agitator
efficiency a top way to conserve air and save money.”
Graco’s radial piston air motor works most efficiently at low to
medium speeds (<500 rpm). This makes it ideal for mixing low to
medium viscosity (<1000 cp) material in direct drive mode.
“Our field test units continue to perform well – without failure
– through millions of rotations,” said Zeng. “Field and lab tests
also show that the radial piston air motor does not need air line
lubrication, which eliminates many potential issues air line
lubrication may cause.”
Graco’s complete line of agitators is backed by its commitment
to deliver A+ Service to every customer, every time. Agitator motor
options include the following:
- Rotary vane air motors are known
for durability and low initial cost. The pneumatic motors run the
most efficiently at medium to high speeds.
- Radial piston air motors use
much less compressed air than rotary vane motors. Drop-in
replacement makes it easy to upgrade from rotary vane to radial
piston agitation in minutes.
- Electric agitator motors are up
to five times more efficient than pneumatic agitators and have the
quietest motors.
