Description

Drum Cover & Follower Plate with Wing-Nut Clamps

Brief Overview

This drum cover and follower plate assembly is an essential component for any shop operating grease pump systems. Designed to prevent dust, debris, and moisture from entering your grease supply while maintaining proper vertical pump alignment, it delivers both protection and operational efficiency. If you're working with heavier grease formulations, this unit handles the demands effectively—and if you need enhanced sealing performance, rubber gasket-sealed alternatives are available to complement your setup.

Key Features

  • Dual-Function Design: Acts as both drum cover and follower plate in a single assembly
  • Contamination Prevention: Sealed top design keeps dust, dirt, and impurities out of grease drums
  • Vacuum-Assisted Operation: Follower plate is drawn toward the drum bottom by pump vacuum, ensuring consistent material flow and minimal waste
  • Heavy Grease Capable: Purpose-built to handle thicker, more viscous grease formulations without jamming or stalling
  • Secure Mounting: Three wing-nut clamp screws provide fast, tool-free attachment and removal
  • Dual Lift Handles: Welded tubular metal side handles enable safe, two-handed transport and positioning
  • Bright Blue Metal Construction: Durable painted finish resists corrosion and simplifies drum identification

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Low Carrying Cost: Compact, stackable design maximizes warehouse efficiency
  • Margin-Friendly: Solid markup opportunity on a commodity product with steady demand
  • Upsell Potential: Pair with industrial-grade clamp systems for shops managing multiple drum stations
