RotoFlex II Pump

• A proven "single-piece" pump that always works! Graco's unique flow-through pump design means smooth material flow for consistent coverage and a consistent spray pattern – every time! Unmatched durability when working with abrasive materials.
• Easy flushing
• Easy maintenance, no rusting parts

Double piston air compressor

• Unmatched spray power! Up to 50% more air for demanding finishes
• Maintenance-free design
• Longer pump life thanks to lower operating speeds compared to the RTX 1500

MaxPower™ DC motor

• Proven performance and full enclosure
• Fan-cooled enclosure protects motor from dust, dirt and other contaminants.
• Brushless design means no brushes to replace.
• Operates at 16 amps (in high-efficiency mode) and 10 amps in limited power mode.

SmartStart™ system

• Automatic Start/Stop when the trigger is pulled saves time
• Reduces noise in the workplace
• Extends the life of the pump and compressor
• Reduces tank and material vibration

WideTex™ nozzle and reducer

• The fastest way to achieve perfect textured finishes.
• Generates a wide and consistent spray pattern, allowing you to complete tasks faster and more efficiently than ever before.
• Easy left-to-right spray pattern control eliminates the need for circular gun movements.

Features of the RTX 5500PI and RTX 5500PX models:

Extra-large capacity cup

• Up to 57 litres (15 gallons) capacity reduces the time spent refilling the cup.

MaxPower 240 V brushless DC motor

• Allows for the trouble-free use of longer extension cords, reducing the hassle of circuit breakers.
• Fully enclosed, fan-cooled design protects the motor from dust, debris and other contaminants.
• The brushless design eliminates the need for brush replacement.
• The device can operate in 16 A mode for high performance and in 10 A mode if there are power limitations.

SmartStart system

• The innovative system automatically starts the pump and compressor when the trigger is pulled and stops them when it is released.
• The smooth start-up eliminates material impact, which can impair the quality of the finish.
• Reduces noise and vibration.
• Extends the life of the pump and compressor.

WideTex tips and connector (hardened in the PX model)

• Enable consistent fan pattern spraying.
• Repeatable spray patterns can be achieved with less adjustment of material flow and pressure.
• Increases productivity by over 20%.

High-strength aluminium gun with built-in flood selector

• Durable aluminium construction
• Oversized fluid/air passages
• Allows the device to be set to flood mode using the gun.

RotoFlex HD pump

• Features an innovative braided sling for improved support of the RotoFlex pump tube.
• 21 l/min (5.5 gal/min) capacity for faster job completion — proven in real-world conditions!

High-performance twin-cylinder air compressor

• High-efficiency design delivers 33% more air for demanding finishes.
• Maintenance-free design.
• Material is ejected further.
• Lower operating speed ensures longer service life.
• Capacity of 0.26 m³/min (9.1 ft³/min) at 1.4 bar (20 PSI) pressure

Material/air hose attached to the bucket with a diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch) or 31.75 mm (1 ¼ inch) on the PX model

For ease of use, both hoses are permanently connected to each other.

• Provides greater flexibility.

FlexChange pump section

• Tool-free pump replacement system — now easier than ever!
• Replacing the RotoFlex pump with a spare takes seconds.
• This eliminates costly downtime on the job site.

Adjustable material flow control

• Increasing the setting allows thicker materials to be sprayed.
• Decreasing the setting reduces flow and provides maximum control.
• Easy-to-read indicator.
