There is also a package version that includes a 25 ft hose, a whip hose and an AR gun. Graco offers two different models, the Reactor IPH-25 and Reactor IPH-40. The shot controller works in combination with a linear transducer that is installed on the horizontal pump. The unit can be set to manual or automated mode. In automated mode, up to 25 pre-programmed shots and five sequences (a combination of up to 10 shots in a pre-defined order) can be entered into the unit.

When the gun is triggered, the pump starts the motion, and the system monitors the exact distance needed to move to achieve the pre-set amount. For example, if you set the equipment for a 210 cc shot, then after the gun is triggered, the system will start pouring the material until the desired amount is dispensed. The Reactor IP is available in two models:

• Reactor IPH-25 with flow rates of 25 lb/min (11.3 kg/min)
• Reactor IPH-40 with flow rates of 50 lb/min (22.6 kg/min)

Features & benefits The Reactor IP is a cost-effective solution to in-plant foam applications and offers the following features:

• Local control module – allows up to 25 programmable shot settings and five shot sequence.
• Accurately controls the amount of material to dispense.
• Easy clean-up – no gun purging, no solvent flush Easy start-up and shutdown.

This new system is spray applied polyurethane foam which is produced in such a way that the system contains no CFC’s, HCFC’s, Formaldehyde or any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), the foam also has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 4, making an excellent contribution to the building’s overall environmental impact. Polyurethane spray foam insulation has been used extensively in the U.K. for around 30 years and has proved an excellent addition to homes all over the country. Spray foam has many benefits for homeowners, including:

• Complete bonding of roofs
• Remove need for fixing nails – avoid nail fatigue
• No slipping slates/tiles
• Provide far greater resistance to storm and high wind damage
• Sealing of all gaps in roof structure • Much less costly and disruptive than a re-roof
• Twice as efficient as mineral wool for thermal insulation
• Easily applied to complex structures
• 25 YEAR Guarantee on roofs after installation
• More Eco-Friendly – No gases used

The spray foam system can be applied to stud walls, roofs, floors, ceilings and most solid surfaces, providing an easy way to insulate complex structures. The system can be used in new build projects and also in refurbishment projects where the designers wish to provide a comfortable internal environment for the occupants. The system can also contribute to a more environmentally friendly building because it contains no VOC’s and has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 4.
