The GRACO 16R003 is a fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) chopper system designed for open mold applications. It is engineered to apply chopped fiberglass with precision, using a 13:1 ratio external mix process. The system includes a 25 ft (7.6 m) hose, cart, mast, and boom, and is intended for use in composite manufacturing environments where efficient, on-ratio dispensing of resin and catalyst is required.

Key Features:

• External Mix Chop System
• 16R003
• Fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) components, durable metal and composite construction
• Designed for use with GRACO components and proven in multiple industries
• 13:1 ratio for precise on-ratio dispensing
• No surge bottle required, reducing material costs
• Low solvent and resin needed to prime the pump
• Dual trigger function for switching between wet-out and chop without removing the chopper
• Long-lasting seals and extended pump life for lower cost of ownership
• DataTrak Control for monitoring resin usage, runaway protection, pump diagnostics, batch tracking, and maintenance schedules
• Technologically advanced, durable, and reliable

Applications:
Ideal for open mold composite manufacturing, including boat building, automotive, and industrial applications where chopped fiberglass application is required.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with existing equipment.
• Ensure all components are properly assembled and secured before operation
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for priming the pump with minimal solvent and resin
• Utilize the dual trigger function for efficient workflow between wet-out and chop modes
• Regularly monitor resin usage and system diagnostics using DataTrak Control
• Consult the equipment manual for detailed installation and maintenance procedures
