Intelligent Paint Kitchen System
Take full control of your paint mix room with the Intelligent Paint Kitchen. It’s a smart set of sensors, actuators and control modules that communicate with each other to optimize industrial paint supply and circulation. It allows pump control, tank control, and overall (remote) control.
Cost-Effective Control of Electric and Pneumatic Pumps
Intelligent Paint Kitchen control of industrial paint mix rooms reduces downtime and cuts energy costs. Until now, such benefits were limited to paint kitchens that use Graco E-Flo DC electric pumps.
A new pump control module also provides closed loop pressure and flow control of these pneumatic circulation pumps: High-Flo (with NXT/XL motor), Endura-Flo, and Glutton.
Hybrid Mode Maximizes Efficiency
Improve energy efficiency and prevent paint degradation with hybrid mode. Our newest software option can manage your factory’s paint mix room in the most efficient way possible over time.
Simply start by entering target pressure and flow rates. Throughout the day, the system automatically adjusts the electric and/or pneumatic pump speed and back pressure regulator (BPR) operation to stay on target.
Tank Control, Pump Control and Overall Control
Tank Control Maintains Quality
The Tank Control Module allows monitoring and control of tank levels and agitator speeds. This keeps paint viscosity consistent, resulting in a top quality finish you can count on.
Pump Control Optimises Quality
Fluid pressure and flow rates are controlled by the Pump Control Module. It keeps your pressure and flow stable and in balance, ensures optimal paint feed to the applicators, and reduces paint shear.
Overall (Remote) Control Improves Safety
The Supervisor Box and HMI Touch screen allow you to remotely control the paint mix room and easily access critical paint circulation data from outside the hazardous area. This not only improves worker safety, it provides real-time information that can be used to improve the environment.
Intelligent paint kitchen system components
Agitators
Properly mixing material is the first step in industrial finishing success. Graco offers industrial agitators and agitator motors that fit all kinds of containers and applications.
E-Flo DC 2-Ball Pumps
Graco’s E-Flo 2-Ball electric supply pump is for applications requiring high pressure, up to 206 bar (3,000 psi). Plus the minimal pulsation at changeover provides a more consistent finish.
E-Flo DC 4-Ball Pumps
Graco’s E-Flo DC 4-Ball Electric pumps are ideal for small to medium circulation systems with outputs up to 2,000 cc per cycle.
Endura-Flo Pumps
Choose between Graco’s Endura-Flo Extended Pressure 4:1 models or Extended Durability 3:1.
Glutton Pumps
Graco’s Glutton bellows seal design pump handles a broad range of coatings. The external check allows for quick maintenance for materials that pack or mat out easily.
High-Flo 4-Ball Pumps
Graco’s High-Flo 4-Ball pneumatic pumps are designed to handle tough finishing applications, run longer and give you outstanding performance.
Regulators
Precise fluid control is crucial to any finishing process. Graco has a proven line of fluid and back pressure regulators to meet all of your finishing needs.
Triton 1:1 Pumps
Graco’s Triton 1:1 Pumps offer a more effective alternative to traditional pressure pots and standard diaphragm pumps. By utilising air-operated diaphragm technology, this spray package applies a high quality, decorative finish to wood and metal.
