Fillers for Grease Guns: Contamination-Free Refilling and Bleeding
Manually filling grease guns from open containers often leads to air pockets in the pump chamber and contamination of the lubricant by dust or debris. ABNOX fillers professionalize this process. They enable fast, clean, and fully bled filling of lever grease guns and one-hand grease pumps directly from the original container (5 kg to 25 kg). This ensures the immediate operational readiness of the lubricators and protects sensitive bearing points from dirt particles.
Operating Principle and Technical Added Value
By using a follower plate, the grease in the container is pressed down evenly. This not only prevents the formation of air pockets but also ensures that the container walls are wiped clean – reducing lubricant loss (residual amount in the bucket) to a minimum. The connection between the filler and the grease gun is made via a standardized filling valve, making the process drip-free and secure.
System Variants for Different Requirements:
- Manual Filler Pumps:
The ideal solution for workshops with moderate greasing requirements. Delivery is carried out via a robust hand pump. These devices are independent of external power sources and can be flexibly positioned at changing locations. - Compressed-air Filler Pumps:
Designed for high throughput and maximum time savings. The pneumatic drive handles the pumping work, which significantly improves ergonomics, especially with high-viscosity greases (NLGI 2 or 3) and large fleets of grease guns. Dispensing is precise and effortless at the touch of a button.
Technical Specifications and Advantages
- Follower Plate Technology:
Precision-fit follower plates for all common container sizes ensure vacuum-assisted suction without contact with air. - Dust Protection Design:
The closed system prevents the entry of ambient dirt into the lubrication circuit. - Robust Trolley (Optional):
Mobile units enable the transport of heavy grease containers directly to the machinery's location. - Compatibility:
Designed for filling ABNOX WANNER and MURALT grease guns, as well as third-party brands equipped with a corresponding filler nipple.
Economic Efficiency in Maintenance
The use of fillers pays for itself quickly by saving time during the filling process and preventing bearing damage caused by contaminated grease. When grease guns are worked empty, ABNOX fillers guarantee refilling in seconds – without the need for manual bleeding of the grease gun head.
