Graco | 16R097 13:1 Ratio External Mix Chop System with Cart, Mast, and Boom

Graco

Model: 16R097

This system is designed for low material costs by eliminating the need for a surge bottle and requiring minimal solvent and resin to prime the pump. Its dual trigger function allows operators to switch between wet-out and chop modes without removing the chopper. Utilizing proven Graco components ensures a technologically advanced, durable, and long-lasting solution.

The Fiberglass Chopper System for Open Molding is designed to efficiently apply fiberglass and catalyzed resin in open mold applications. This FRP system precisely dispenses materials at the correct ratio and allows for easy transitions between wet-out and chop operations.
