The new pump for industrial and hygienic applications developed by Graco is a lightweight and easy to maintain solution for harsh environments.
The international manufacturer of fluid handling equipment Graco has recently announced the release of its next-generation electric-operated double diaphragm QUANTM™ pump, which features a new electric motor design. It is suitable for almost all fluid transfer applications and offers a wide range of materials of construction to support multiple industrial and hygienic operations, such as paint manufacturing, water treatment and chemical processing.
“The QUANTM pump is not a new twist on old technology. It’s an entirely innovative design that changes how pumps perform in factories and other installations around the world. We are excited to have created an advanced, extremely efficient design that is lightweight and provides significantly lower lifetime costs than other pump technologies. The pump modernises operations by greatly reducing energy costs. This empowers industrial manufacturers to protect and grow margins and measurably contribute to energy savings, compliance and environmental stewardship efforts,” has stated Bart Clerx, the product marketing manager for the EMEA region of Graco.
The new pump is designed to be a highly reliable drop-in replacement for current pneumatic pumps or greenfield construction, as it can withstand harsh industrial or hygienic environments
and its design with built-in controls and no gearbox is lightweight and easy to maintain.
“Our new QUANTM pump is the perfect solution for upgrading your less-efficient air-operated pumps. The same great self-priming, stalling, seal-less design is a must-have for in-process applications, filling systems and hygienic applications. The powerful new FluxCore™ motors and drives deliver up to eight times more continuous torque at low speeds than conventional motors. The plug-and-play installation allows you to replace existing pumps without additional investment or infrastructure rework easily,” has concluded Clerx.
