Lube Drive - so that pumping doesn’t feel like hard work

Equipment

Handling lubricating grease can be a physically demanding task for maintenance engineers. This is especially true when thick grease has to be delivered using ergonomically unfavourable hand pumps. The Lutz Lube Drive filling tool, which can be powered by a cordless screwdriver, provides relief.

To use the pump simply place the eccentric screw pump tube in a lubricating grease container and attach a cordless screwdriver with a bit holder. This drives a metal stator, which evenly pumps the lubricating grease through a hose. “Thanks to this energy-saving mode of operation, workplaces can be made significantly more ergonomic,” says Klaus Wadel, Sales Manager at Lutz Pumpen. “Whether maintaining vehicles in forestry, machinery in agriculture, or equipment in industrial plants, inappropriate physical strain often leads to health issues and costly employee absences.” The system's delivery rate is up to 2 kg/min. It is suitable for all commercially available lubricating greases up to NLGI-2.
