Paint kitchen

Mixing room equipment handles advanced paint chemistry, including adhesion promoters, primers, base coats, clear coats, and two or three-component materials.

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 optimise industrial paint supply and circulation. It allows pump control, tank control and overall (remote) control.

Plural Component Mixing Equipment

Our plural component mixing equipment, including mechanical and electric proportioners, gives you the option to mix two-component and three-component materials. Graco’s flexible paint mixing systems easily handle a broad spectrum of materials, including solvent-borne, water-borne epoxies, and acid c...

Supply & Circulation Pumps

Graco circulation pumps and supply pumps for manufacturing and industrial applications are available in pneumatic, electric or hydraulic configurations. These rugged and reliable paint pumps feature a low-noise design and the ability to smoothly change paint colours, which saves operator time. Graco...

Sealed 4-Ball Lowers

Keep your paint circulation system up-and-running with minimal maintenance. Sealed 4-ball pump lowers are easier, faster and cheaper to replace than pump assemblies. Completely sealed, this lower works for any pumping application in your paint mix room – even catalysed coatings.

Paint Kitchen Accessories

Enhance your paint kitchen with Graco’s high quality accessories. We have a wide array of accessories designed specifically for paint kitchens and they’re manufactured to the same quality standards as all of our products.

Paint spray booth

Manual and electrostatic spray guns evenly coat automotive parts. Positive displacement (PD) flow control ensures the right amount and colour reach each part.

Air Spray Guns

An air spray gun uses a low-pressure fluid stream with compressed air at the air cap to atomise material in a controlled manner. Used to spray low to medium viscosity fluids, this air paint gun method produces a high quality, Class A or decorative finish.

Electrostatic Spray Guns

Achieve high transfer efficiency and an even coating with an electrostatic spray gun. Electrostatic paint guns also increase finish quality and production throughput, while decreasing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and HAPs (hazardous air pollutants).

ProBell

Graco’s ProBell Rotary Applicators not only deliver a superior quality, high transfer efficiency and precision spraying, it’s also lightweight and compact for lower payload robots or reciprocators.

ProMix PD

The ProMix Positive Displacement (PD) Proportioner Platform is redefining fluid control, plural component mixing and manufacturing processes. Stay on ratio within 1 percent mixing accuracy. Stay on budget with less rework and simple maintenance.

Fluid dispense

Automatic or manual fluid control systems accurately dispense oil, grease, coolant, water, or other fluids from hazardous or non-hazardous locations.

ProDispense System

Graco’s electronic fluid dispense and meter system allows durable goods manufacturers to quickly and precisely fill cavities with coolant, dye, grease, oil, paint, solvent, water or other industrial fluids.
