The familiar cartridge system ensures that manual grease pumps are always ready to use, also in the field. As the video shows, the cartridges of ABNOX grease pumps are easy to replace in less than a minute with just a few steps. Gerold Appert confirms this: “We consistently focus on ease of use and product quality in our development process.” There is in fact more know-how behind this system, which may appear mundane at first glance, than one might expect.
The handy MURALT hand lever pumps and WANNER one-hand pumps were designed for mobile applications on construction sites, ski lifts or in machine maintenance. They are manageable in size and withstand harsh conditions, making them the ideal solution for the lubrication of bearings, guides and all other moveable components for small consumers who need flexibility. The user simply takes along the required number of cartridges as needed. “Aside from simplified logistics, the benefit is that one opens the cartridge only when it will be used. This ensures that dirt can never get into the grease pump,” Gerold Appert continues. The cartridges can be emptied with virtually no remainder, which avoids wasting costly lubricants.
ABNOX recommends using a stronger spring at low working temperatures or with high-viscosity grease. The higher spring pressure ensures that the lubricating grease is properly suctioned for convenient operation, even under such circumstances. Thanks to the sophisticated chain pull, the user does not have to expend any additional tensile force even though the spring force is doubled. “This is a remarkable unique selling proposition for ABNOX,” Gerold Appert adds.
Optimisation of construction cycles
In addition to the conceptual design of larger lubricating systems, adapting standard products to specific customer needs is another ABNOX strength. Gerold Appert: “We record all customer requests and integrate them into a controlled optimisation process.” Requests for improvements are therefore evaluated in the design of subsequent product generations. This ensures that product quality is consistently kept at the highest level.
ABNOX teams assist customers with their lubricating, dosing and conveying applications in various industries from the initial request to commissioning (and maintenance). “I enjoy creating something new, time after time, and following the respective implementation,” the passionate developer says in conclusion.
