Here is our pick of what not to miss in Chicago!
Graco
Booth 5161, South Building
Graco will be showcasing its SoloTech peristaltic pumps and new Quantm electric double diaphragm pumps at WEFTEC 2023. These pump technologies offer reliable solutions for chemical metering and dosing applications as well as chemical transfer in water treatment applications.
SoloTech electric powered hose pumps feature a unique design delivering precise, consistent doses of chemicals. The single-roller delivers only one hose compression per revolution for a long hose life, offering a durable and low maintenance solution to minimize downtime. The pumps are self-priming and can be used with a variety of fluids, including pH neutralizers, polymers and acids for all wastewater needs.
Graco’s new Quantm electric diaphragm pump eliminates the need for compressed air. And with no gearbox it offers a quieter, more cost-effective and energy-efficient option in the same compact size as pneumatic pumps. It is designed to be easy to operate and maintain, with built-in controls for flow and pressure at the pump, as well as shared fluid contact components with Graco pneumatic pumps.
Both SoloTech and Quantm pumps are available in a variety of sizes and flow rates to meet the needs of a wide range of applications.

Proco Products
Booth 1552, South Building
Proco Products Inc is excited to be exhibiting again at this year’s WEFTEC Conference and Exhibition, and is looking forward to connecting with water and wastewater professionals.
One of the products that Proco will be showcasing is its Style 711/731 flanged/slip-on slope bottom check valve.
The Proco Style 711/731 ProFlex check valve is engineered for installation on preexisting pipelines such as manholes, outfalls and vaults, where the outfall invert of the pipe is close to the floor of the manhole or outfall. When a new installation is being designed, the 711/731 valves can be engineered into the pipe layout with little concern for outfall clearance due to its “low slope” design.
So how does the valve work? The advantage to the Style 711/731 check valve is the sloping bottom which has been developed to offset the issues commonly affiliated with other flat bottom valves which often entrap solids and flows due to its design.
The 711/731 has been carefully designed to prevent this issue and has a minimal slope which allows complete drainage yet still ensures easy installs on minimal clearance areas. The Style 711/731 has been engineered to provide a full port which is important in dealing with headloss and jet velocities. The valve is manufactured with 100% algae and barnacle resistant rubber and is also 100% fire resistant.
For more information on this check valve, stop by booth 1552 at WEFTEC in Chicago. Proco Products can’t wait to meet you!

Hayward Gordon
Booth 1635, South Building
Hayward Gordon Group, proud manufacturer of Hayward Gordon and Sharpe Mixers equipment for water management, will be highlighting its ChopX Chopper pump and HydroMix hydraulic mixing system at WEFTEC this year.
Drop by Hayward Gordon‘s booth #1635, next to its sister company Ebara, to check out the Chopx Chopper solids handling pump and see the mixer in action.
The HydroMix system utilizes a Hayward Gordon solids handling or chemical processing pump to recirculate and discharge the contents of a tank through strategically installed nozzles within the same tank. HydroMix systems develop a mixing regime in the fluid volume consisting of circular and top-to-bottom fluid motion. The mixing regime promotes the uniform blending of the contents and solids suspension. These systems develop fluid velocities of greater than 90% of the tank, obtain complete mixing in less than 120 minutes, and reduce maintenance with no moving parts located inside the tank. All HydroMix projects are validated using computational fluid dynamics. Common mixing applications include anaerobic digesters, sludge storage tanks, equalization tanks and basins, crude oil storage tanks, and chemical blending tanks.
Hayward Gordon Group, part of Ebara Corporation, supplies a complete line of pumps and mixers, from large, low-speed, high-flow units to high-speed, high-shear mixers covering a broad array of industries and applications.
