Selection Guide
WE’VE GOT THE SOLUTION!
Proven reliability across many industries, Husky Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps expertly
supply and transfer fluids in both ink printing and manufacturing. With seven sizes and four
materials of construction, Graco has a pumping solution perfect for your application!
Graco’s large ported, high volume diaphragm pumps efficiently evacuate dispersion tanks,
or supply material to milling equipment in ink manufacturing. Smaller, more portable Husky
designs are better suited for batch dispensing high volume, low viscosity materials.
Supplying flexographic or gravure inks to printing fountains requires small,
more portable Husky pumps that circulate the ink at a desired flow.
Choose a pump with a dual inlet/outlet for added flexibility.

Cost Savings That Are Hard To Beat
A
C

CHOOSE HYDRAULIC AND SAVE!
Unlike pneumatic, hydraulic motors continually reuse the oil required to cycle the motor,
making hydraulic technology the most efficient solution for pumping ink!
A. Hydraulic power pack – Consists mainly of oil reservoir,
electric motor and variable volume/pressure-compensated
hydraulic pump.
B. Supply and return lines – Supplies high pressure oil to the
hydraulic ink pump and returns the used oil.
C. Hydraulic regulator and flow control – Controls the
pressure and flow of oil to the hydraulic motor which, in
turn, controls the outlet pressure and cycle rate of the
ink pump.
D. Hydraulic motor – The Viscount II uses a controlled
volume of oil, at a specific pressure, to duplicate the fluid
flow and pressures in a pneumatic system. The controlled
oil is then circulated back to the power pack for reuse.
Note: Pneumatic motors exhaust the compressed air into
the atmosphere after cycling the pump.
