Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on the Graco HFR Metering System, designed for flexible packaging and lamination applications. It emphasizes the system's ability to ensure accurate, on-ratio adhesive dispensing, which reduces scrap, rework, and material waste, thereby increasing process confidence and yield.
Key Features:
  • Ratio Assurance: The system monitors pressures and shuts down if off-ratio conditions are detected, ensuring proper adhesive mixing.
  • User Interface: Intuitive controls based on Graco Control Architecture reduce training time and enhance usability across different systems.
  • Material Handling: Capable of handling low to high-viscosity compounds without heat, with a fixed ratio range from 1:1 to 32:1.
  • Advanced Dispensing: Features like the MD2 valve provide clean, non-drip shut-off, and integrated temperature controls facilitate easy configuration.
Technical Specifications:
  • Dimensions: 48W x 59H x 34D inches (122 x 150 x 86 cm).
  • Weight: 634 lb (287.6 kg) base machine; 868 lb (393.7 kg) fully configured.
  • Flow Rate: Maximum up to 30 lb per minute, viscosity dependent.
  • Pressure: Maximum fluid working pressure of 3000 psi (207 bar).
  • Viscosity Range: Up to 30,000 centipoise.
Applications: The system is ideal for solvent-free lamination processes, supplying mixed material to a laminator for bonding films and foils in flexible packaging.
Additional Components:
  • Pumps: Stainless steel with Chromex™ finish, tungsten carbide seats, and UHMWPE pistons.
  • Electrical Power: Options for 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase power supplies.
  • Communication Protocols: Includes Discrete I/O, DeviceNet, Ethernet I/P, Profibus, and Profinet.
Accessories: Various accessories are available, including nip sensors, flow meter kits, and communication gateway modules, to enhance system functionality and integration.
Conclusion: The Graco HFR Metering System offers a reliable and efficient solution for adhesive dispensing in flexible packaging and lamination, with advanced features that ensure precision, reduce waste, and improve overall productivity.
