Graco Reactor 3: The Next Generation
- Fully Connected System: Smart drum-to-gun connectivity and integrated Core Transfer Pumps minimize downtime, ensure automated ratio monitoring, and eliminate off-ratio spraying. The Katalyst system drives intelligent material management, with instant system shutoff if a drum runs low, preventing air and waste.
- Touchscreen and Remote Access: The Advanced Display Module (ADM) touchscreen lets users control all spray parameters from one screen, while the Reactor Connect app allows remote monitoring and troubleshooting from any location—ideal for managing crews and maintaining job quality.
- Automated Data Collection: All models store project data, spray logs, and up to 24 chemical recipes, while Elite models feature built-in Graco InSite remote reporting for complete transparency and compliance documentation. QR code troubleshooting speeds service and reduces downtime.
- Advanced Safety and Performance: Independent hose temperature controls resemble the best hydraulic performance and robust diagnostics protect against power spikes, boosting reliability, output, and lifespan.
PMC Premier Mach 2: Dual-Gun Excellence
- Unmatched Productivity: The Mach 2 allows two installers to spray simultaneously, doubling output and jobsite efficiency without needing two proportioners or rigs. That’s a game-changer for large commercial projects.
- Precision Monitoring: The digital management system continuously displays live metrics—pressure, temperature, and chemical ratios for both guns—guaranteeing optimal parameters and eliminating costly guesswork.
- Data, Flexibility, and Remote Management: Job data is instantly available; reports can be published, stored, or emailed. The system is compatible with any spray gun brand and features remote access from mobile devices or PCs to update parameters and monitor performance fleet-wide.
- Cost Efficiency: Running two guns on one machine conserves space and capital, reduces overhead from multiple rigs, and simplifies maintenance/training.

Adopting the Reactor 3 or PMC Mach 2 isn’t just an upgrade—it's an essential step if you want to stay competitive, win high-profile contracts, and deliver consistent, code-compliant results. Those who stick with the old generation will quickly fall behind as customers increasingly demand the benefits only this “wave of the future” can provide.
