Alemite AL9979 Lubricant Ram Pump 50:1

Product Description

The ALEMITE AL9979 is a 50:1 ratio ram pump designed for dispensing lubricants in demanding shop and field service environments. Built around a high-ratio pneumatic or manual ram drive, it delivers consistent, controlled grease or oil output from standard 400-pound drums. At 25.7 pounds, the unit is substantial enough for stationary shop use while remaining manageable for service bay installation. This type of pump is typically installed by lubrication technicians, fleet maintenance professionals, or industrial service teams that require a reliable bulk-dispensing solution.

The AL9979 is suited for commercial and industrial lubrication programs where high-volume grease or oil dispensing from drum-size containers is required. The 50:1 mechanical advantage allows the pump to move heavy-bodied lubricants without excessive input pressure, making it appropriate for centralized lube systems in truck fleets, heavy equipment shops, and manufacturing facilities. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 50:1 pump ratio delivers high output force for moving heavy-bodied lubricants
• Designed for use with 400-pound drum containers
• Substantial 25.7-pound construction supports durable stationary installation
• Sold individually, suitable for single-point or centralized lube system integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install ram pump for use with standard 400-pound lubricant drums in commercial and industrial lubrication systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified lubrication or mechanical technician familiar with pneumatic or hydraulic pump systems. Relieve all line pressure and depressurize the drum follower plate before removing or installing the pump. Ensure all fittings and hose connections are rated for the system operating pressure before startup. Follow applicable facility safety protocols and equipment manufacturer guidelines during mounting and commissioning.
