Graco (GGG) Unveils GCI Series Automatic Cartridge Injector

Read MoreHide Full Article

Graco Inc. (GGG - Free Report) recently introduced the GC Series injector platform for single-line parallel automatic lubrication systems. Graco GCI, the lubrication industry’s first cartridge injector, delivers a maximum of two times the life of ordinary injectors and minimizes the replacement time from minutes to seconds. The new design maximizes current injectors’ output in its class at reduced operating and labor costs.

Graco GCI can be used for both construction and mining maintenance jobs. This product has a simple design and requires only a wrench during replacement installation omitting the need to disconnect lube lines. Graco GCI’s advanced manufacturing process ensures a higher lifetime. Also, its durable design reduces the number of injector replacements, parts costs and service downtime frequency ensuring hassle-free operations.

The product is available in two- to six-bank aluminum and high-pressure steel manifold variants. It uses the same mounting pattern as the current injector technology but takes up a reduced footprint. Its locked-in color-coded output spacers read out the total grease quantity dispensed per lubrication cycle. This step lowers the probability of incorrect field adjustments during a repair process. Quick-exchange injectors are capable of supplying a maximum of 0.150 cubic inches of grease at an accuracy level of +/- 3% and have a high-visibility 360-degree view indicator pin which enables easier troubleshooting.
