Product Information

Full details

This 12-liter pneumatic grease injector by VidaXL is designed for professionals in the automotive, shipbuilding, engineering machinery, and chemical industries seeking efficient and mechanized lubrication. Its key benefit lies in its high working pressure and low energy consumption, enabling efficient greasing with minimal effort. A caveat to consider is the requirement for compressed air, making it unsuitable for environments without an air supply. Key features include a large 12-liter capacity, a maximum inlet pressure of 9 bar, and a 4.0-meter hose for extended reach, all housed in a portable design with wheels and a handle.

FAQs

What is the maximum recommended inlet pressure?

The maximum inlet pressure for this pneumatic grease injector is 9 bar.

What is the capacity of the grease tank?

The grease tank has a capacity of 12 liters.

Is this grease injector suitable for DIY use?

While functional, its design and power are geared towards professional and industrial applications. It requires a compressed air source, which may not be common in typical home DIY setups.

How long is the included hose?

The hose length is 4.0 meters, providing good reach for various applications.

What types of grease can be used with this injector?

It is designed for standard lubricating greases. Using grease of the correct viscosity for your operating temperature is recommended for optimal performance.

How do I transport the grease injector?

The unit is equipped with an inverted U-shaped handle and two rolling wheels, making it easy to transport by pushing or pulling it.

What are the overall dimensions of the unit?

The dimensions are 32 cm in width, 28 cm in depth, and 80 cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Grease is not being dispensed

Check if the air compressor is connected and providing sufficient pressure (at least 4 bar recommended). Ensure the grease level is adequate and the tank is properly sealed. Verify that the hose and nozzle are not blocked.

Low pressure or inconsistent output

Verify the inlet pressure from the compressor is set correctly (up to 9 bar max). Inspect the air hose and connections for leaks. Ensure the grease used is of the correct viscosity and not too thick for the ambient temperature.

Air leaks from the unit

Inspect all seals and connections for damage or wear. Tighten any loose fittings. If leaks persist, contact customer support for replacement parts.

Difficulty moving the unit

Ensure the rolling wheels are clear of debris and are functioning correctly. The unit's weight is 10.5 kg, so using the handle and wheels is recommended for transport.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient mechanized lubrication for professional use.
  • Large 12L capacity minimizes downtime for refills.
  • Portable design with wheels and handle for easy transport.
  • Reliable and safe operation suitable for industrial environments.
  • Cost-effective due to low energy consumption.

Cons

  • Requires a compressed air source to operate.
  • Not suitable for very small or DIY applications where air compressors are unavailable.
  • Weight (10.5 kg) may be a factor for some users, though mitigated by wheels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the grease injector is placed on a stable, level surface.
  2. Connect your air compressor hose to the inlet valve, ensuring a secure connection.
  3. Fill the 12-liter tank with appropriate grease, following the manufacturer's recommendations for grease type and consistency.
  4. Adjust the inlet pressure to a maximum of 9 bar, or as recommended for your specific application.

Compatibility:

This pneumatic grease injector is compatible with standard air compressors providing sufficient airflow and pressure (up to 9 bar). It is designed for use with most common types of lubricating grease used in industrial and automotive applications.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Ensure no grease or debris contaminates the air inlet. Periodically clean the hose and nozzle to prevent blockages.
  • Storage: Store the unit in a clean, dry place. Ensure the tank is not overfilled before storage and any residual pressure is released safely.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check all connections for leaks and wear. Refer to the manual for any specific maintenance schedules for seals or internal components.
