Graco 1050e Makes the Cut for Product of the Year
The Graco Husky 1050e Pump Chosen as Product of the Year Finalist by Plant Engineering Magazine
Graco Husky 1050e: The Husky 1050e is the only electric double diaphragm pump on the market that will stall under pressure to prevent pump and system failures due to line clogs or closed valves. Featuring a patent-pending air-charged drive, the Husky 1050e has the ability to virtually eliminate pulsation at the fluid outlet without a pulsation dampener, can stall under pressure without additional switches and controls, and increases diaphragm life without compromising fluid.

Lime slurries present many problems for water treatment plants and the other industries that use them. Lime is resistant to dissolving and quickly settles in low-velocity areas of process lines. Centrifugal and diaphragm pumps also need frequent cleaning and maintenance due to the lime caking their internals. Large particles and the slurry itself can cause excessive wear and tear on the pumps, causing significant downtime and cost in parts and labor.
