Suitable for medical, automotive, consumer and baby products, the system has stainless steel components that prevent contamination and discoloration of the material.

Benefits Better ratio control. A helical gear uses multiple gear teeth to measure flow in very small increments for more precise mixing. The system provides seven times the measurement resolution of the company's previous models, resulting in material savings for the end user. Additional benefits include a smaller footprint and the use of Graco Control Architecture controls for easy startup, operation and troubleshooting.
