Grease Pump
Grease pumps work together with the reservoir and filter to lubricate machinery. The pump moves the lubricant along the system and into areas that need lubrication. Grease pumps can be manual or automatic; while the manual pumps rely on physical labor, automatic pumps can use pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric power.
Grease is a non-liquid lubricant with higher viscosity than regular oil. Grease is applied to machinery under heavy pressure, specifically in points of heightened friction. A viscous combination of oil and soap, grease is preferred to other petrol-based lubricants in locations where oil drippings are undesirable.
Important specifications to consider when purchasing a grease pump are the viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the product being pumped; the volume dispensed; system pressure; and the size of the drum.
