Core Function & Power Source:
Key Performance Characteristics:
High Pressure & Flow: Capable of overcoming resistance in long pipelines and injecting grease into heavily loaded fittings, enabling the grease pump to service complex lubrication points.
Robust & Reliable: Designed for demanding industrial environments (workshops, construction, mining), providing consistent power to the grease pump with minimal electrical components.
Portable & Versatile: Often features a portable design (cart/trolley), allowing it to be paired with a grease pump for flexible lubrication tasks anywhere compressed air is available.
Primary Purpose & Application:
Centralized Grease Delivery: Acts as the power unit for centralized lubrication systems, where the lubrication grease pump meters and distributes grease to multiple points via lines.
High-Volume Greasing: Essential for efficiently lubricating large machinery, vehicles (trucks, agricultural equipment), or numerous points using a bulk grease pump reservoir.
Handling Heavy Greases: Effectively pumps high-viscosity NLGI #2 or #2.5 greases from the pump reservoir into bearings, joints, and other critical components under extreme pressure.
Integration with Lubrication Grease Pump:
Essential Power Unit: The pneumatic grease machine provides the motive force, while the attached lubrication grease pump contains the grease reservoir, metering valves, and outlets, forming a complete lubrication delivery system.
System Efficiency: This combination allows for rapid, high-pressure greasing of multiple points directly from the pump's reservoir, significantly faster than manual methods.
In essence: A pneumatic grease machine is the high-pressure, air-driven power source specifically designed to operate lubrication grease pumps. Together, they form a robust system for efficiently delivering high-viscosity grease under significant pressure to multiple lubrication points in industrial and mobile equipment applications.
