Grease Guns

Proper lubrication keeps everything in perfect working order!

Pistol grease OilSafe

Grease Guns are absolutely a necessity!

Human errors in maintenance do happen. The wrong grease is applied to equipment, leading to cross contamination and worse….. critical bearing and equipment failure. Maintenance errors can be very costly and time-consuming to correct. That's why:


"Keep colour-coded Grease Guns around, and use the right one for the job at hand!"

Which Grease Gun should be used when?


  • If it's a well-maintained machine that just needs a couple of shots of grease a day, or a fitting in a hard to reach spot, the Pistol Grip Grease Gun is the way to go. A hand (pistol) type gun can get into tighter places.
     
  • If the machine hasn't been greased in a while, sometimes you need the extra pressure of the Lever to get it moving. If it is going to take a lot of grease because it's dry, or the old grease is flushed out, the Lever Grease Gun is nice.

  • Battery-operated Grease Guns are the ideal choice to lubricate large bearings or manual centralised systems (used to lubricate multiple bearings from a single lubrication point).

Manual Grease Guns are the best choice for low-volume greasing!

The Pistol Gun only needs to be used with one hand, while the Lever option requires both hands. Overall, however, the Lever Gun delivers more grease per stroke.

Benefits of using Grease Guns

Thumbs up

Product longevity

Proper lubrication keeps your machinery running smoothly for longer. Also the Grease Gun will stand the test of time if properly maintained.
Thumbs up

Accuracy and Speed

Manual grease guns allow grease to be distributed at a more gradual, slower speed. This offers the user much control and precision over the lubricant.
Thumbs up

Waste Prevention

Any machine needs proper lubrication, and a Grease Gun is the efficient delivery system for the grease. You will prevent waste from overflowing product, because you can measure exactly how much is dispensed per stroke.
Thumbs up

Better saturation

Without a Grease Gun you run the risk to spray grease  into the general area of a component. A Grease Gun however, will allow you to deliver the grease with a lot more precision, saturating the part properly.
Thumbs up

Lightweight

Compared to battery and pneumatic operated options, the manual gun tends to be smaller and lightweight, so is able to get into tight, small spaces more easily.
Thumbs up

Money Saving

When parts are properly lubricated they will last longer than poorly-maintained ones, saving you lots of money on replacement costs.
                                                   

FAQ Grease Guns

Why do I need to know the output per stroke of a Grease Gun?

The reason why you should know the output per stroke is that you need to know how much grease is added each time you lubricate a piece of equipment. The OilSafe grease guns deliver 1 gm/stroke. However, the actual output can vary depending on the age of the gun.

Which factors should I consider when establishing grease guns for my company?

Consider the following:

- The loading of the Grease Gun: cartridge, suction fill or bulk.

- Common lubrication quantities, i.e. high- or low-volume Grease Guns.

- Easy or difficult to reach lubrication points, i.e. pistol and/or lever grease guns; rigid or flexibel extension.

- Examine each application to determine the correct fitting and which style of grease gun and coupler is needed.

- Applying grease fitting protectors, enabling you to dedicate a specific colour to a specific grease.


-

Can you give me some hints for using a grease gun?

- Grease guns should be stored unpressurised and in a horizontal position (to avoid bleeding out of the grease) in a clean, cool and dry area.

- Calibrate grease guns regularly to ensure proper delivery volume.

- To ensure that contaminants are not introduced, use extreme caution when loading grease into the grease gun.

- When using/replacing cartridges, take care when removing the metal lid that no slivers are introduced to the grease.

- Clearly mark the grease gun in order to identify the grease with which it should be charged.

- Always clean the dispensing nozzle of the gun before using.

- Wipe fittings clean before applying grease.

- Clearly identify lubrication points with which grease it is to be used.

Why is priming required?

All grease guns require priming on first operation. It rids the grease gun of air, which can cause suction issues and prevent the grease gun from operating properly. It only takes a few seconds but ensures proper operation. Not priming a grease gun is usually the leading cause of issues with operation.

Can the electric grease gun be bulk filled with a grease cartridge, from a drum or with a pump?

Yes, all Oil Safe grease guns can be filled with grease cartridges, bulk filled from a pail/drum or with the use of a grease pump. The written instructions packaged with each electric grease gun illustrate these filling options.

Does the quick coupling work on metric grease zerks?

Yes. It automatically adjusts to grease zerk sizes, making connections quick and simple. When connected to a grease zerk, there is 6 points of engagement, so connections are secure and allow for hands free operation.

What to do when grease zerks get stuck or plugged?

Occasionally a grease zerk could get plugged or prohibits the flow of grease from a grease gun. OilSafe has many grease accessories for unplugging grease zerks, installing them, colour identification options and various sized grease zerks available in our catalogue.
