The GRACO 16R097 is a proportioning system designed for fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) applications, specifically as an external mix chop system. It is engineered to deliver a consistent catalyst-to-resin ratio for reliable curing and high-quality finished products. The system is typically used with a cart, mast, and boom for efficient material handling and application in industrial settings.

Key Features:

• Proportioning System (External Mix Chop System)
• 16R097, XC, 13:1 Ratio, CMB, NH
• Designed for use with GRACO FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Systems and compatible with RS™ (resin spray) applicator guns
• GRACO is ISO 9001 certified; specific certifications for this model (e.g., FM, UL, ETL, ATEX) should be checked on the product tag or manual
• Consistent catalyst ratio for reliable curing
• Engineered for high-quality, finished products
• Supports MACT-compliant technology for regulatory compliance
• Easy to use, lightweight guns with ergonomic handles
• Adjustable glass cutting tension output on the production floor in seconds (no tools needed for many adjustments)
• Swivel feature for fluid line connection
• Designed for minimal operator fatigue and increased uptime

Applications:
Used in industrial FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) manufacturing for spraying resin and catalyst mixtures, commonly in applications requiring consistent cure and high-quality surface finishes. Suitable for use with carts, masts, and booms for efficient material handling and application.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, safety, and compatibility with existing equipment. Non-genuine parts may compromise system reliability and regulatory compliance.
• Follow all instructions provided in the GRACO equipment manual for installation and setup
• Ensure all connections (air inlet, fluid outlet) are secure and compatible (air inlet: 1/4 in, fluid outlet: 3/4 in NPT)
• Verify system compatibility with your specific application and equipment
• Regularly inspect and maintain the system to prevent downtime and ensure consistent performance
• Use only recommended fluids and catalysts to avoid damage and maintain warranty
• Perform routine maintenance as outlined in the GRACO manual
• Check for leaks and wear on hoses and fittings
• Store the system in a clean, dry environment when not in use
• Train operators on proper use and safety procedures
