New Xtreme NXT Sprayer from Graco

Graco's new Xtreme NXT Sprayer features DataTrak, an integrated electronic monitoring system that provides contractors with high level of user control. DataTrak tracks and records volumetric flow and material usage, provides pump diagnostics, and offers runaway pump prevention as well. DataTrak displays material usage and volumetric flow, allowing contractors to spray the specified amount of material for each job. With an accurate, unbiased measurement of flow, DataTrak helps contractors ensure quality control and eliminates material waste from over-application.

DataTrak tracks material throughput, which indicates to contractors when it's time for routine maintenance. DataTrak provides useful tools for ensuring preventive maintenance on lowers and tips. DataTrak provides lower diagnostics and lets contractors know whether the lower is diving in the up or down stroke - a good indication that packings or balls are starting to wear out, or the pump lower needs to be cleaned.

DataTrak monitors pump speed and automatically shuts off the pump when coating material runs out or in instances of other runaway situations. The LED will flash and the display will indicate the runaway condition, and give the contractor instructions on how to get the pump running again. The runaway function works independently from air consumption, and provides a more reliable approach to runaway control compared to current runaway valves.

Designed for tough protective coatings and corrosion control applications, the Graco Xtreme Sprayer with NXT technology is available in 11 configurations, with three motor sizes and seven Xtreme lowers to choose from. This range of package sizes allows contractors to select the appropriate model for their flow and pressure requirements. The new Xtreme NXT sprayer comes with integrated air controls with built-in filtration, an updated cart with built-in hose rack, and a stainless steel lift ring. DataTrak is available as an option on the NXT air motor.
