What is the minimum and maximum heated hose length supported?
Discover the minimum and maximum heated hose length (including whip hose) of a Graco Reactor.
The length of the heated hose has an influence on the performance of your spray proportioning system. To ensure effective impingement mixing and spraying, you should take into account the minimum and maximum hose length of your Graco Reactor.
The hose length influences the mixing and spraying conditions of your system. The longer the hose, the higher its resistance and the lower the current it can carry. If the resistance becomes too high, the current flow will be too low to properly heat up the material, resulting in bad impingement mixing and spraying results.
Minimum hose length
The minimum hose length of a Graco Reactor is 15 metres.
With a hose length below 15 metres, the mixing and flow regulation of the system will be difficult.
Maximum hose length
- The maximum heated hose length for Reactor 2 E-30, E-30i, E-XP2, E-XP2i, H-30 and H-XP2 is 94.5 metres (including whip hose).
- The maximum heated hose length for Reactor 2 H-40, H-50 and H-XP3 is 125 metres (including whip hose).
For more information, please read the Graco Reactor manual.
