GRACO Australia will release the Husky 1050 conductive polypropylene pump at the 2010 Queensland Mining and Engineering exhibition.
The Husky 1050 is an air operated double-diaphragm pump which does not have any aluminium in its external wetted parts. It is ATEX-certified.
The Husky 1050 range also includes Aluminium, Polypropylene, PVDF, Stainless Steel and Hastelloy models.
According to Graco Australia, the Husky 1050 pumps replace the 1040 range. They are said to be 30% more efficient, while delivering material at up to 50gpm for a 20% increase in fluid flow.
Graco Australia claims the pumps’ re-engineered diaphragms have up to five times longer life compared to other double diaphragm pumps in their class.
The Husky 1050 pumps may be used for drum fluid transfers, fluid unloading, chemical evacuations, dewatering and sump evacuations and transferring fluids from their original containers to smaller receptacles.
