1. Application
The SKF LAGG 50A and LAGG 180A are air operated grease pumps
suitable for 50 or 180 kg drums with any greases of an NLGI class
0, 1 or 2.

2. Description
The pneumatically operated grease pump is fully automatic. By
operating the grease gun handle the grease will automatically be
discharged. As soon as the handle is released the grease discharge is
automatically stopped.
Note: It is recommended to include a pressure valve in the air inlet. This
will increase the working life of the grease pump mechanism.
