Graco Introduces New King® Airless Sprayers

Easy-to-maintain sprayers reduce icing potential and deliver low
pulsation for improved performance

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling
equipment, today formally introduced new King Airless Sprayers at The
Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) annual conference in New Orleans,
Louisiana. SSPC is among the few industry providers focused on technical
training for coatings industry professionals.

Graco’s King brand is recognized all over the world, and Graco stands
behind the quality associated with it. The new King airless sprayers,
even with today’s more difficult coatings and demanding applications,
exceed the performance of King products introduced decades ago in
pressure, flow and icing performance.

“We listened to our customers and King sprayers are the result: fully
loaded and ready to tackle the toughest jobs operators face,” said Eric
Rennerfeldt, Product & Business Development Manager, Graco Applied Fluid
Technologies Division. “Because our customers have better things to do,
King sprayers are easy to maintain and deliver best-in-class icing
performance, resulting in a superior experience.”

King sprayers feature a trusted XL motor that provides sharp, smooth
changeovers and low pulsation – even while multiple guns are operating –
for improved performance.

Thermally-isolated poppets on the XL 3400 and XL 6500 motors are
insulated from motor castings that can often drop below freezing. The
newly-designed poppets and external pilot lines virtually eliminate
pilot valve freezing that can result in an instant stop.

Packings play a critical role in optimizing spray performance by sealing
pressure and holding material inside the pump. King sprayers feature
tighter seals with enhanced edge loading and seven throat packings
instead of five to deliver better performance. The cart features a
conveniently-mounted toolbox so day-to-day essential tools and parts are
easily accessible, and a removable cover enables easy valve maintenance.
