$350.55Graco 17P023 Shaft Agitator Direct Drive18 redefines mixing efficiency for demanding industrial environments. Engineered for high-solids paints, viscous sealants and heavy-latex coatings, its rugged shaft and impeller design maintain uniform dispersion from start to finish. Noise-dampening features and energy-efficient drive components reduce operational costs. Engineers value its compact footprint and flexible mounting options, which simplify integration into both batch systems and continuous production lines.
Integration of a precision brushless motor and hardened-steel gearbox delivers reliable torque under variable loads. Thermal sensors and sealed bearings protect vital components, extending service cycles in continuous use, while IP65-rated enclosures guard against dust and water ingress. Compact geartrain geometry minimizes backlash, providing smooth startup and consistent RPM control. Engineers can select from multiple voltage options to match plant power standards without compromising rotational performance or maintenance intervals.
Variable-speed drive control allows fine-tuning of shear rates and prevents entrained air when dispersing pigments. Seamless coupling to a dedicated pump paint sprayer unit ensures a balanced material feed, reducing pressure spikes and avoiding nozzle clogging. Swappable impeller options—from high-speed turbines to low-shear paddles—accommodate viscosities ranging from thin solvents to heavy epoxies in a single versatile package.
Both shaft and impeller assemblies are machined from 316L stainless steel or optional wear-resistant alloys, ensuring chemical and abrasion resistance. All welds undergo non-destructive inspection to confirm integrity. Corrosion-resistant coatings and labyrinth seals protect internal bearings from moisture and dust ingress. This construction philosophy extends operational life, reduces unplanned downtime and maintains consistent mixing performance in rigorous production environments.
Real-time torque and speed sensors integrate with PLC or SCADA systems via analog or digital interfaces. Users gain live feedback on mixing parameters and can automate recipe-driven batch processes. A built-in overload cutoff prevents excessive torque from damaging drive components, while programmable speed presets guarantee repeatable results. Data logging capabilities support quality audits and facilitate continuous process improvement across multiple mixing stations.
Modular flanges and mounting brackets enable swift integration into existing vessels, while certified graco airless sprayer accessories such as quick-disconnect couplings and extension shafts customize the setup for specific applications. This adaptability reduces installation complexity and supports rapid equipment changeovers. Compatible seals and gaskets ensure leak-free operation, even under high pressure in automated production or advanced coating lines.
Adapter kits facilitate direct coupling with downstream application equipment, including finishing booths and spray modules. Precision fittings maintain optimal flow rates, preventing pressure drops that can affect spray patterns. Integration is seamless when using certified graco paint gun accessories, which deliver consistent atomization and color fidelity. The result is a cohesive end-to-end solution that streamlines workflow from mixing to final coating application.
Routine service involves periodic lubrication of accessible grease fittings and inspection of labyrinth seals. A modular design allows in-place replacement of wear rings and bearings without full unit removal, simplifying preventive maintenance. Detailed service guides outline torque specifications, clearance tolerances and recommended intervals. This approach minimizes downtime and extends component life, providing predictable maintenance windows and reduced total cost of ownership for long-term operations.
Precision alignment hardware, including anti-vibration mounts and machined base plates, ensures accurate shaft positioning and reduced mechanical stress. Prewired electrical harnesses comply with IEC and NEMA regulations, offering rapid connectivity and clear labeling. Factory acceptance tests verify RPM accuracy, torque response and safety interlocks before dispatch. On-site commissioning services include performance validation and operator training to guarantee reliable start-up and process consistency.
Engineered for compliance with CE, UL and ATEX directives, the agitator features redundant torque sensors and thermal cutouts for critical fault protection. Explosion-proof enclosures and purge ports are available for hazardous-zone installations. Emergency-stop circuits integrate smoothly with plant-wide safety systems, enabling instant shutdown in alarm scenarios. Comprehensive certification documentation and material traceability reports support regulatory audits and safety risk assessments.
Graco provides dedicated technical support and bespoke maintenance service to maximize uptime and performance. Certified technicians assist with installation, calibration and troubleshooting, ensuring agitator parameters align with process specifications. Extended warranty plans, preventive maintenance agreements and precision spare-part kits safeguard long-term investments. On-site training sessions equip operators with best practices for optimal operation and compliance.
