5.1 PNEUMATIC GREASE PUMP WITH STANDARDIZED 400CC LUBRICANT CARTRIDGE LOADING SYSTEM The Pneumatic Pump with cartridge grease loading is a pump for general use in single line progressive divider lubrication systems such as SMX, SMO, SMP or SMPM. The pump is designed for all those applications where it is ideal to have grease supplied in readily available cartridges.
6.5 AIR CONNECTION ON PUMP Use an 1/8” BSP connection fitting. It also possible to use DropsA’s nut an cone fittings as the seating is already available. Remember to use a 3/2 valve that allows the air to vent to atmosphere and the internal spring within the pump to reset.
Use gloves and safety glasses as advised in the grease lubricant safety data sheet. DO NOT use aggressive lubricants on the NBR seals, if in doubt consult DropsA Spa technical office who can offer advice on lubricants and provide a pre-approved list of greases.
Ensure you have necessary personal protective equipment to avoid any contact with the grease. The pump undergoes severe factory testing therefore no maintenance is forecasted with the pump. DropsA recommends the use of lubricants that are free of any impurities as well as a regular cleaning of the pump’s components.
