Graco QUANTM i230 Brings Electrification to High-Flow Fluid-Transfer Applications5.11.2026 22:16:00 CET | Press release
New electric 3-inch double-diaphragm pump helps paint, coatings and ceramics manufacturers increase throughput while reducing energy consumption by up to 80%. Graco Inc. is helping manufacturers electrify high-flow fluid-transfer applications with the global launch of the 3-inch QUANTM® i230, bringing efficient electric drive technology to demanding processes that have traditionally relied on pneumatic pumps.
