Graco Highlights Innovative Solutions for Efficient, Effective Vapor 
Abrasive Blasting and Mortar Pumping at World of Concrete

Graco Inc. is pleased to announce that the company will be displaying its lines of innovative blasting and mortar pumping equipment at booth #S11115 at the World of Concrete trade show. The show is being held Jan. 16-20, 2017 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Visitors to the company’s booth will learn how Graco’s EcoQuip 2™ Vapor Abrasive^® Blast Equipment significantly reduces dust, while the company’s ToughTek™ line of mortar pumps are helping contractors be more competitive in today’s market. 

“Job sites are getting more demanding, and the industry is shifting from mixing or applying mortar by hand to spraying stucco, EIFS, self-leveling underlayment and repair mortar,” said Tryg Waterhouse, Graco Product Manager for the ToughTek line of products. “Our solutions help contractors keep up with demand and stay ahead of the competition on big and small jobs alike, with more consistent application in less time.” 

In addition to the indoor booth, conference attendees can visit Graco at outdoor booth #O31070 to see live product demonstrations. Each day, product experts will demonstrate Graco equipment, including the ToughTek MP20 Mixing Pump, a compact, easy-to-use option for self-leveling underlayment; the EcoQuip 2 EQ400t, an elite vapor abrasive blasting machine designed to tackle the largest and most challenging blast projects; and the ToughTek S340e Stucco Pump, built with proprietary piston pump technology to easily handle everything from heavy, abrasive scratch and brown stucco base coats to EIFS base and finish coats. 

“There truly is no such thing as dustless blasting,” said Eric Rennerfeldt, Graco Product Manager for the EcoQuip® product line. “We look forward to demonstrating how our EcoQuip product lines reduce airborne dust by up to 92 percent as compared to dry blasting, while effectively and efficiently cleaning and preparing concrete for repair.” 

Also on display will be Graco’s line of Reactor^® equipment ideal for lifting concrete and filling joints and cracks in remodeling or flooring applications. Graco’s solutions help increase yield and performance in high-output spraying, allowing contractors to become more competitive with faster concrete application.
