$350.55Efficient mixing is critical when consistent coating quality matters. Thanks to the direct-drive architecture of the Graco 17P021 Shaft Agitator Direct Drive 22, paint and coatings receive uniform agitation without the need for belts or pulleys. Robust engineering ensures reliable torque transfer from the motor to the agitator shaft, reducing vibration and minimizing maintenance intervals. Users will appreciate quiet operation even under heavy loads, as well as simplified installation procedures that get production lines back online faster. Precision-tuned controls allow operators to fine-tune stirring speed across a wide range of viscosities.
Compatibility extends beyond standard mixers, linking to a variety of fluid delivery systems. When integrated with equipment like the high-performance magnum airless paint sprayer, users achieve a seamless workflow from reservoir to application tip. Mounting adapters accommodate both new and legacy frames, ensuring years of versatile use in industrial settings. Precision-machined bearings eliminate play, guaranteeing consistent rotational speed even under fluctuating load conditions. Field technicians appreciate the modularity that simplifies routine inspections and lubrication tasks, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
Industrial-grade 17P021 agitator assemblies boast precision-welded joints and marine-grade stainless components to resist corrosive chemicals. Each shaft undergoes dynamic balancing to prevent wobble during high-speed mixing cycles. Engineers optimized shaft diameter and blade geometry for efficient fluid dynamics, generating full dispersion of pigments and solvents without over-shearing delicate polymers. Anodized finishes on critical surfaces reduce friction, promoting smooth operation and easing clean-up between production runs. Maintenance accessibility was a design priority, with service ports and quick-release clamps enabling swift disassembly when thorough inspection is required.
Mixing efficiency remains top-tier even when handling high-solid formulations or heavy-duty epoxies. Customizable blade profiles ensure shear rates precisely match coating requirements, reducing material waste and lowering rework rates. Integration with control systems allows for programmable speed ramps, giving operators the flexibility to adapt mixing curves on-the-fly. Recommended service intervals correspond with drops in torque thresholds, making it simple to know when an inspection or bearing replacement is necessary. A comprehensive range of adapters fits most airless sprayers and graco quickshot parts kits without modification, streamlining inventory consolidation in maintenance workshops.
Fast setup begins with pre-aligned mounting interfaces that match common motor flanges and pump housings. A torque specification chart, supplied within the technical manual, guides tightening of coupling bolts to prevent misalignment. For users upgrading existing systems, the agitator shaft can be retrofitted alongside a graco replacement pump or similar hardware, granting continuous compatibility. Periodic greasing of the internal bearings through accessible ports extends component life, while quick-disconnect clamps keep service tasks efficient. Replacement seals and blades are stocked locally to minimize delays during scheduled overhauls.
Versatility stands out when shifting between various finishing operations. Coating houses find this agitator ideal for mixing lacquers, enamels, and refractory slurries at the start of production shifts. In marine or offshore settings, corrosion-resistant alloys guard against saltwater exposure. Chemical processing plants rely on repeatable shear action to prepare resin blends and catalytic suspensions with precise viscosity targets. Automotive refinishers appreciate the quick-change configuration for color-matching tasks in busy body shops. Even food-grade coatings, such as wax emulsions for packaging lines, benefit from sanitary shaft options. Such cross-sector adaptability underscores the design’s capacity to meet stringent standards, whether for volatile organic compounds or sanitary certification mandates. Even small-scale laboratories consider this shaft agitator for R&D trials, thanks to its variable speed control and compact footprint. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation despite frequent setup changes, reducing the need for specialized mixing instruments. Training requirements remain minimal due to user-friendly interfaces and clear calibration marks, enabling technicians to focus on formulation accuracy rather than equipment troubleshooting.
In demanding production environments, relying on equipment that delivers repeatable performance under variable conditions is crucial. Direct drive agitators reduce the number of moving parts, thus offering lower risk of component fatigue compared to belt-driven units. Regular torque checks and bearing inspections can be executed swiftly, thanks to the design’s emphasis on accessibility. With a solid track record of performance across multiple industries—ranging from architectural coatings to corrosion-resistant primers—this agitator has become a go-to option for professionals. For further inquiries, dedicated technical support teams and comprehensive installation guides are available, ensuring smooth deployment and ongoing maintenance services to maximize operational uptime.
