Grease guns are essential to keep manufacturing operations moving, but for a relatively simple bit of kit, they do come with some challenges! As any maintenance and repair worker knows, building up sufficient pressure with manual grease guns can be problematic. A lack of pressure can result in blocked grease nipples and clogged lines.
If greasing tasks become too difficult, machinery may not be kept adequately lubricated, leading to greater friction and wear and tear, and increasing the risks of breakdown and unplanned downtime. Macnaught’s AutoSwitch™ dual-piston grease gun helps overcome these challenges through an automatic mode-switching function.
This feature makes it much easier to gain maximum pressure with less effort, making the greasing process faster and more efficient. Here’s how it works.
The AutoSwitch™ dual-piston grease gun is designed for demanding industrial applications. It’s an industry first, having been engineered to overcome the pressure problems that tend to occur in standard manual grease guns. The gun works by automatically and seamlessly shifting from low pressure/high flow to high pressure once it detects line-back pressure, eliminating the need for manual switching. This makes it far easier to achieve the pressure required to get the job done.
Other features include:
The AutoSwitch™ grease gun offers a range of benefits for manufacturing sites, including:
Geoff Manley, National Key Account Manager at Macnaught, describes the AutoSwitch™ as a “game changer” for the manufacturing industry. Manley says the way the AutoSwitch™ helps to reduce the number of interactions between people and machinery is a major benefit.
“This is an important goal for many industrial corporations today, to improve both efficiency of operations and safety of people,” he says.
