Alemite 338923 Drum Follower for Grease Gun

Product Description

The ALEMITE 338923 is a drum follower designed for use with grease guns. A drum follower plate seats inside an open grease drum and uses atmospheric pressure or pump suction to feed grease consistently into the gun, reducing air entrainment and minimizing waste. It is a service-bay and shop accessory used wherever bulk grease drums are the primary lubrication supply. Lube technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance personnel install this type of follower to keep high-volume grease guns fed without frequent interruption or manual repacking.

This drum follower is suited for shop environments where bulk grease drums replace standard grease cartridges. It is a practical solution for high-frequency greasing applications in automotive, fleet, agricultural, and industrial maintenance settings. The follower allows a compatible grease gun to draw directly from a drum, supporting continuous operation during extended service work.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for use with compatible grease guns
• Enables direct bulk-drum feeding to reduce downtime from cartridge changes
• Minimizes air pockets and grease waste common with manual repacking

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by lubrication technicians or general maintenance personnel and requires no special tools in most cases. Before attaching the drum follower, ensure the grease gun is depressurized and the drum is properly seated on a stable surface. Follow the grease gun manufacturer's instructions for connecting the follower plate to confirm a proper seal before loading. Consult the equipment manufacturer's documentation for drum size compatibility before use.
