Graco launches new integrated series of Reactor proportioning systems

Graco Inc. recently unveiled the new Reactor E-30i and Reactor E-XP2i integrated proportioning systems at the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) Expo in Dallas, TX, USA. Designed for polyurethane foam or polyurea applications, the integrated systems combine an electric Reactor proportioner and a diesel generator into one package. According to the company, complete turnkey models are also available with a fully integrated air compressor and three-stage air dryer.

“One of our goals for this product is to save the end-user money on diesel fuel,” said Nick Pagano, High-Performance Coatings and Foam Product Marketing Manager. “We accomplished this by re-purposing waste heat from the engine coolant to heat the A and B materials. By utilising this waste heat, we eliminated or minimised the heater requirements. Smaller heaters mean a smaller generator, and a smaller generator means less diesel fuel, resulting in diesel fuel savings for the end user.”

This is also the first Reactor proportioner system to employ Graco Control Architecture. The system’s control technology tracks, monitors and saves project information, plus it stores key setup data such as temperatures and pressure set points for up to 24 material recipes. It provides the user with on-screen troubleshooting advice, and an easy to view data display with information such as drum fluid levels and daily chemical output.
