Industrial Drum Cover & Follower Plate with Wing-Nut Clamps

Brief Overview

This drum cover and follower plate assembly is engineered to protect lubricant integrity during pump operation while maintaining consistent product delivery from heavy-viscosity greases. The system features a vacuum-actuated follower design that automatically descends as material is dispensed, eliminating air pockets and ensuring complete drum utilization. Pair this with compatible follower plates for alternative drum sizes to standardize your equipment across multiple grease grades and applications.

Key Features

• Dust & Contamination Barrier – Sealed blue metal construction prevents airborne particles from compromising grease quality
• Vacuum-Actuated Follower Plate – Automatically follows material level, reducing oxidation and product waste
• Vertical Pump Positioning – Center boss alignment maintains pump verticality for optimal suction and pressure consistency
• Heavy-Grease Optimized – Specifically designed for thick-viscosity lubricants that require positive pressure engagement
• Dual Wire Loop Handles – Ergonomic grip points for safe drum installation and removal
• Three Wing-Nut Clamp System – Quick-release fastening for tool-free assembly and maintenance
• Industrial-Grade Finish – Durable glossy blue enamel coating resists corrosion and chemical splatter

Business Advantages

For Your Shop Floor:

• Extends grease drum life by preventing contamination and oxidation
• Reduces material waste from incomplete dispensing
• Eliminates downtime caused by air-lock failures in pump systems
• One assembly handles both sealing and material delivery—no secondary equipment needed

For Your Resale Portfolio:

• High-margin item with low inventory footprint
• Fits bulk orders across fleet maintenance, industrial maintenance, and OEM assembly operations
• Consumable replacement cycle ensures repeat business (recommend stocking additional plate configurations for different grease specifications)
• Professional appearance and reliable performance build customer loyalty

Why This Matters

Heavy grease pumping demands precision equipment. Air infiltration collapses pump efficiency and contaminates product—both costly problems. This follower plate system solves both by sealing the drum while actively maintaining material contact with the pump intake. The result: consistent pressure, complete product utilization, and zero guesswork about drum emptying.

Stock this assembly as a standard maintenance item for any shop running centralized lubrication or bulk-grease dispensing operations.
