Manufacturers deliver greases and lubricants in the most different containers and tanks. There is no standarized dimension or norm of the containers.
While pumping with pneumatic or electric pumps, the dimensions or the form of the container have a certain importance for the right dimensions of the piston follower plate.
Conical containers or containers with large grooves can extremely influence the pumping. Only special grease supply systems (Drum Pumps) should pump high viscositiy lubricants out of such containers.
The lubricant should only be poured into another container in exceptional cases. While doing so, special criterions have to be followed. Air inlets and dirt can influence the quality of the
pumping (consultation with the lubricant manufacturer).
