Graco's (GGG) Reactor 3 System to Aid in Spraying Tasks
Read MoreHide Full Article
Graco Inc. (GGG - Free Report) recently unveiled the Reactor 3 spray foam proportioner system, its latest addition to the Reactor proportioner product group. Considered a user-friendly product, the Reactor 3 system facilitates the task of foam spray and polyurea applications in an efficient and safe manner.
The company’s shares declined 1.8% yesterday, ending the trading session at $69.72.
Inside the Headlines
Graco’s new Reactor 3 proportioner system comes up with several market-proven components. These include the likes of active ISO lube pump system, brushless motor, inlet filters, drum-level dipsticks, along with other parts and software features, which optimize spray parameters and enhance the product efficiency.
Some of the advanced software features embedded in the system are smart control pressure management system, auto pressure balance and Katalyst system intelligence. The Katalyst software provides a high-level system intelligence to the Reactor 3 system that improves the spray mechanism, removes ratio issues and increases yield. The system’s advanced controller interface allows users to choose spray functions.
It’s worth noting that the product is available in three tiers – Elite, Pro and Standard – each designed to cater to the specific needs of contractors.
The launch is in sync with Graco’s policy of investing in product innovation. Some of the notable products introduced by the company over the past few quarters are SaniSpray HP 20 electrostatic sprayer, Intelligent Paint Kitchen, TapeLazer HP Automatic system, Voltex Dynamic Mix Valve, PerformAA air-assist and airless spray guns.
Zacks Rank, Price Performance and Estimate Trend
Graco, with $11.8-billion market capitalization, currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The company is likely to gain from healthy demand for products in end markets, synergies from buyouts, and an impressive liquidity position in the quarters ahead. However, supply-chain issues might affect its performance in the near term.
