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.
