Innovative fluid handling solutions that build your bottom line
Demand for advanced composites is growing on a global scale as these innovative materials are designed into an ever-increasing
array of structures. Fuel conservation and performance drive the need for lighter weight aircraft and transportation vehicles.
Alternative energy is pushing the limits on composite scale by requiring “super-sized” turbines. Corrosion resistance and cost
reduction are primary considerations in storage tanks, pressure vessels and bridge construction.
These are only a few examples of where expensive, manual, slow resin dispensing
processes of the past can limit today’s new capacity needs and performance
specifications. By integrating Graco
®
resin dispensing technologies into your
manufacturing process, you will meet the demand for more composites, fabricated
at higher speeds and at a lower cost.
Graco understands automated resin processes and provides the products, engineering
and global support you need to manufacture advanced composites. Graco’s heavy
investment in research and engineering provides you with the innovations
and technologies to:
• Reduce cycle time
• Improve yield
• Limit hand touch labor
• Reduce scrap
• Reduce cleaning time
