Foot-operated grease gun limits contaminants
Fourth Quarter 2008
Other technologies
Anyone involved in the earthmoving, construction or engineering industries will know the importance of grease both in bearings and in mechanical shafts. Genflex has introduced an inexpensive foot-operated grease gun in which the tank is fitted with a permanently attached hinged lid.
Problems arise in every grease pump where there is contamination of grease. By incorporating a hinged lid this new design will curtail foreign particles coming into contact with the grease.
The foot-operated grease gun has a 2 metre long hose, a nozzle and an 8 litre grease tank. The machine is suitable for grades 1 and 2 pumpable grease and will fit inside the cab of any yellow metal machinery.
Selling for less than R1000 excluding VAT, delivery is ex stock and spares are available from Genflex in Alrode. The grease gun will also be available from all Genflex, Interlok and Singlehurst outlets and their distributors countrywide.
