Top 3 Graco and PMC Spray Foam Machines for Sale in 2022
By Kevin MaloneThe spray foam industry is very competitive, and companies continually improve their SPF equipment offerings. Along with more sophisticated spray foam parts and accessories, spray foam machines have undergone rigorous redesigns. Top manufacturers like Graco and PMC listened to user feedback, automated features, and improved communication between operator and machine to make spray foam equipment easier for contractors to use and maintain.
So, if you are wondering what is new in 2022, these are the top three spray foam machines for sale from Graco and PMC at Intech Equipment & Supply.
1. Graco Reactor 3 Series
In March 2022, the spray foam world got the comprehensive update it needed to give contractors the modern conveniences required to save time and eliminate errors. Using feedback from the Reactor 2 series, Graco unveiled the Reactor 3 series, an updated line of spray foam machines that communicates seamlessly from drum to gun.
Overall, spray machines in the Reactor 3 series are easier to use and are loaded with automated features managed by the new Katalyst system, which monitors pressure, material levels, material ratio, power surges, and more.
The Reactor 3 series currently includes the Reactor 3 E-20, Reactor 3 E-30, Reactor 3 E-XP1, and the Reactor 3 E-XP2. Each model is available in 3 tiers: standard, pro, and elite, and each tier includes more conveniences. Here are the improvements that make the Reactor 3 a great 'next level' upgrade.
- Redesigned touchscreen interface to monitor and control many functions through Katalyst.
- Lighter, independently controlled Xcelerator heated hoses heat up to 40% faster.
- Updated, quietly running core electric transfer pumps communicate directly with the Reactor 3 spray foam machine and provide the most accurate mixes.
- Connects to Reactor Connect, an app that reports data and allows users to control the system remotely.
- More compact design for a better fit in your spray foam rig.
Do not miss out on this self-monitoring system that you can control and manage from anywhere with a smartphone. If you have been looking for a spray foam machine for sale that will help you save time and reduce errors, this is the upgrade for you.
2. PMC PH-2
PMC, also known as Polyurethane Machinery Corporation, has developed a reputation for top-quality spray foam machines that are reasonably priced and offer low maintenance, proven longevity, and high quality. With PMC equipment, contractors can achieve better ROI, which means a higher profit margin at the end of each month.
PMC is also at the top of many contractors' lists because its spray foam machines are efficient and user-friendly. This is exhibited by the recently introduced PH/PHX-2 series of proportioners for spray foam and coatings. This latest generation of 'smart' SPF machines offers the superior performance and high value that contractors need at a competitive price but with more innovations.
The PH-2 proportioner is one of the latest intelligent spray foam machines for sale from PMC. This popular low-pressure SPF machine can spray up to 28 lbs. of foam per minute and 1.7 GPM coatings with a maximum pressure of 2,000 PSI. It is also designed to reduce or eliminate common errors that cause delays while on the job.
- Auto Shut Down Counter: This stops the spray foam machine from operating on an empty drum, preventing cavitation, off-ratio materials, and downtime. Operators can set the counter to their exact needs.
- Pressure Balance Control: A standard feature for all PH machines, it shuts down the unit immediately if it detects an imbalance in pressure.
If you need a high-pressure spray foam machine from the same generation, check out the PHX-2 family. If you want a low-pressure PMC machine equipped with data-capturing software and hardware that enables users to obtain job-specific information, the PHD/PHDX-2 series is for you.
3. Graco Reactor 2
If a spray foam machine is a 'previous generation' model, it does not necessarily mean it is 'old news.' Graco's Reactor 2 series is an intelligent spray foam system that many contractors prefer over other brands and models. Favorites like the Reactor 2 E-20 and Reactor 2-30 have many cutting-edge features that contractors need, such as Graco's exclusive InSite technology that allows operators to plan and manage a job's progress remotely and through the machine's interface.
With a Graco Reactor 2, you have more control and less downtime with surge protection, improved circuitry design, and various other automated features. Every machine in this family of electric spray foam machines runs as smoothly as a hydraulic system and has earned an excellent reputation. So, it still makes our top-three list even though the series was released a few years ago.
