90 Years in the making

Brothers Russell and Leil Gray incorporated Gray Company in April 1926 at the height of the “Roaring Twenties.” The Gray brothers launched the company to manufacture and market an air-powered, portable lubricator Russell invented while working as a parking lot attendant. His big idea emerged as he fumbled with a manual grease gun in freezing Minneapolis temperatures that turned grease into thick sludge. The Gray brothers had a “start-up” and they began operations at 120 South Tenth Street in Minneapolis.

Graco are the worldwide leaders in fluid handling.

The most common fluid we all know is water. In Graco’s world the definition of
fluid goes way beyond that. Fluids may contain particles and can sometimes also be thick and pasty. Certain elements in fluids react differently to heat, cold or pressure.
Some need to be mixed before application at very precise ratios. Yet, they must all be
handled with care. Graco’s innovative technologies are designed to handle these fluids and enable you to achieve your objectives successfully.
Processing food and cosmetics, applying coatings on walls, furniture, cars, boats,
trains and airplanes, marking lines on roads and sports fields, spraying insulation foam, sealing glass or gluing boxes, lubricating machinery – on-road or off-road, transferring chemicals from A to B, cleaning with high pressure… it’s all about handling fluids!

If you need to lift fluid against gravity, or place droplets in exactly the right spot, then Graco equipment is the right choice. It handles pressures from 1 to 10,000 psi to get the fluid just where you need it. Some materials are not always pure and filtered, but our equipment can transfer particles with a 2.5″ diameter. How else could you move tomato sauce with meatballs from bulk containers to tins on the supermarket shelf?

Graco’s diaphragm pumps are designed for industrial and chemical transfer applications. Graco chemical and industrial diaphragm pumps come in pneumatic and electric options, with many flow rates and sizes. Both metal and plastic housings can easily handle corrosive and abrasive fluids. All of their industrial and electrical diaphragm pumps are thoroughly tested before they leave their factories.

Meter & Transfer Accessories

Graco’s meter and transfer pump accessories, like our EPDM and PTFE overmoulded diaphragms, give you the flexibility to handle a wide range of fluids with a single pump. Their EPDM diaphragm, made from ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, is widely used for hygienic processing. PTFE diaphragms are made from polytetrafluoroethylene, which makes them ideal for both hygienic and chemical applications.

Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic pumps, also known as positive displacement pumps, are typically used for pumping caustic, abrasive, or sensitive fluids and are ideal for long runs with continuous flow. Graco’s innovative design uses a single roller that compresses an engineered hose through a full 360 degrees of rotation for longer hose life. Graco peristaltic hose pumps are designed for industrial metering and fluid transfer applications, amongst others.
