Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid

“To reduce costs and improve their environmental footprint, many
factories are phasing out compressed air equipment,” said Blake
Erickson, global product manager for pumps and circulation systems
in Graco’s Industrial Division. “These include automotive original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) needing cleaner, more efficient ways
to supply ambient sealants and underbody material to their assembly
lines.”
The UniDrum bulk unloader’s new electric driver provides
real-time, integrated, closed-loop flow control. This is the first
time such efficiency has been available in a bulk unloader.
“With closed loop communication, data can be collected on system
parameters and performance. This can be very useful in decreasing
waste and supporting environmental regulation compliance,” said
Erickson.
Electric pumps also operate quieter than pneumatic counterparts,
reducing noise pollution. A UniDrum bulk unloader powered by an
E-Flo SP electric supply pump normally operates at 70 dB(A). That
is 15 dB(A) lower than the 85 dB(A) sound regulation for industrial
workplaces set by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration
(OSHA) of the United States Department of Labor.
Quieter operation also supports factory efficiency, according to
Erickson: “The quieter the pump, the closer you can place the
supply to where you want to use it. The closer the proximity, the
less pressure is needed for accurate application.”
