Description

Drum Cover & Follower Plate with Clamp System

Brief Overview

This dual-function drum cover and follower plate is engineered for professional grease-handling operations where contamination control and consistent pump performance are non-negotiable. The system combines dust protection with mechanical reliability, ensuring your lubrication equipment operates at peak efficiency from the first application to the last. Whether you're managing standard greases or working with heavy-viscosity formulations, this plate delivers the foundation for reliable pump operation. For operations requiring enhanced sealing, consider pairing this with a follower plate featuring rubber gasket seals to maximize contamination resistance.

Key Features

  • Dust & Contamination Protection: Sealed design prevents airborne particles and moisture from compromising grease integrity during storage and application
  • Pump Positioning: Central hub design maintains vertical pump alignment, critical for consistent pressure and flow regulation
  • Heavy Grease Compatibility: Integrated follower plate mechanism responds to pump-generated vacuum, ensuring complete grease extraction even with high-viscosity formulations
  • Dual-Handle Design: Large carrying handles on opposing sides enable safe transport and positioning of loaded drums
  • Wing-Nut Clamp System: Quick-release perimeter clamps (minimum three clamp points) provide secure, tool-free attachment to standard industrial drums—no bolts or wrenches required
  • Central Port Access: Threaded hub accommodates pump connections and vent openings for safe pressure relief

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Repeatability: Standardized design fits across multiple drum sizes and grease grades, reducing SKU complexity
  • Low Maintenance: Durable metal construction with mechanical clamps requires minimal servicing; customers often repurchase as replacement units for aging systems
  • Cross-Sell Potential: Pairs naturally with pump packages, grease cartridges, and storage accessories—ideal for upselling complete lubrication solutions
  • Margin-Friendly: Low-cost manufacturing base with consistent demand from automotive shops, industrial maintenance departments, and equipment rental operations
  • Extended Product Lifespan: Protects high-value grease inventory, reducing waste and improving customer retention
