Graco Process Transfer Equipment

230 GPM changes the math on compressed air. At that flow, the most expensive part of a diaphragm pump may not be the pump. It may be the air feeding it. The U.S. Department of Energy says more than 80% of the input energy to an air compressor can be lost as heat. That is not an AODD efficiency rating. But it is a reminder that compressed air carries a real energy cost before it ever reaches the pump. That is what makes the new Graco QUANTM i230 interesting. The i230 is a 3-inch electric-operated double diaphragm pump rated up to 230 GPM and up to 100 psi, built for high-flow applications traditionally served by pneumatic pumps. What Graco kept is almost as important as what changed. The i230 retains the diaphragm-pump behavior plants already use: self-priming operation, dry-run capability and stall-under-pressure operation. What changes is the power architecture. Electric operation removes the dependence on plant air, while integrated speed control, remote start/stop and status outputs give the pump a much cleaner path into plant automation. Graco says the QUANTM platform can reduce energy usage and costs by up to 80% compared with pneumatic pumps. Actual savings depend on the application — flow, pressure, air consumption, operating hours and electricity rate all matter. But at 230 GPM, this is no longer a small-pump efficiency conversation. High-flow diaphragm pumping is now part of the plant electrification conversation. Plant engineers: how many diaphragm pumps are still running on compressed air at your facility? Just the number. #QUANTM #PlantEngineering #EnergyEfficiency Graco Process Transfer Equipment

Great to have the DXP team at our Minnesota headquarters learning about QUANTM EODD pumps. Switching from pneumatic to electric can dramatically reduce your energy costs and simplify maintenance. DXP customers can work with their sales team to determine whether QUANTM is the right fit. Thanks for making the trip, Dave Flowers and team!

The shift from pneumatic to electric fluid handling systems is gaining momentum across industries. Electric pumps offer significant advantages: up to 80% energy savings, reduced maintenance requirements and better process control compared to traditional air-operated systems. This transition isn't just about efficiency – it's about meeting stricter environmental standards while reducing operational costs. Electric systems eliminate compressed air waste and provide more precise, consistent performance. Ready to see what QUANTM can do for your operation?

How much can you really save by moving from pneumatic to electric? For one UK corrugated cardboard manufacturer, it was nearly $1 million a year… By replacing close to 115 air-operated diaphragm pumps with QUANTM electric glue pumps across 12 plants, they cut energy use by 91% with an ROI in just five months. See their success story. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gmCp6TtW

Debating the move from air to electric? QUANTM pumps make it a no-brainer: ✔️ Reduced downtime from smart stall protection ✔️ Consistent performance with variable speed control ✔️ Safer operation through remote monitoring ✔️ Up to 8x more torque at low speeds That means more control and less risk, shift after shift.
