MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 17, 2018--
Graco Inc.(NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling
equipment, is expanding its presence in the electric pump market with
larger size offerings to complement the current Husky™ and
SaniForce® 1050e and 1040e electric diaphragm pumps. The new
Husky and SaniForce 2150e platforms represent another step forward in
the cutting-edge electric technology Graco has been developing for the
processing market.
“This is an important move for us as we anticipate end-user expectations
for their pumping technology,” said Jeff Shaffer, Graco’s Process
Division Product Marketing Manager. “The transition to
electrically-driven pumps reinforces the recent marketplace shifts.
Customers are looking for equipment to lower energy consumption,
increase control, and decrease ownership and operation costs for their
facilities.”
The Husky and SaniForce 2150e pumps can reduce energy usage by up to 80
percent when compared to traditional air-operated diaphragm pumps.
“Our offering of an electrically-operated pump built for high flow rates
could be a game changer in energy efficiency when compared to air
pumps,” says Shaffer. “But it is not only great for air diaphragm pump
applications – rotary lobe, progressive cavity and peristaltic pumps all
struggle with different applications and, until now, there has not been
another large electric pump that can tackle those issues.”
The Husky 2150e is a durable pump technology for handling the toughest
slurries and abrasives with a seal-less pump designed to eliminate
leaking. The SaniForce 2150e pump line meets FDA-approval standards for
use in food, beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical industries. For
