Protective Containers for 14–25 kg bunch

In industrial lubricant delivery, original containers (pails/hobbocks) are often used directly as storage reservoirs for delivery pumps. Protective containers serve as an external support structure for pails in the 14 to 25 kg weight class. Their primary task is to protect the container against external mechanical impacts and to ensure dimensional stability during the delivery process. This is particularly critical when using follower plates, which can create a vacuum inside the container.

Thin-walled sheet metal or plastic containers tend to deform under the suction power and mechanical pressure of the follower plate during emptying by high-pressure pumps. A deformed container leads to tilting of the follower plate, which interrupts the seal and allows air to enter the system. The protective container acts as a rigid matrix, holding the pail in its exact cylindrical shape. This ensures seamless media extraction and protects the tribological chain from cavitation and process interruptions.
 

Product Specification

Manufactured from solidly welded sheet steel, specifically dimensioned for common container sizes from 14 to 25 kg. The robust construction is designed for high mechanical loads and provides a stable base for the mounted delivery pump. Equipped with sturdy toggle latches or cover fixings, the protective container allows for the hermetic integration of the pump periphery. The surface coating ensures resistance to aggressive workshop conditions and chemical influences from lubricant residues.

• Stability Factor: 
  Solid wall thicknesses prevent the original container from denting or collapsing under high suction vacuum or mechanical loading from lifting systems.
• Interface Compatibility: 
  The geometry is optimized to accommodate ABNOX pump covers and follower plates, ensuring centric guidance of the suction tube.
• Safety Locking Mechanism: 
  Integrated clamping mechanisms secure the container within the shroud, preventing rotation or slipping during delivery operations.
• Mobility Options: 
  Depending on the version, the design allows for mounting on trolleys or fixed anchoring within stationary dispensing systems.

The use of ABNOX protective containers minimizes the risk of system downtime caused by damaged or collapsed pails. By maintaining the container geometry, maximum residual emptying is supported, as the follower plate can cleanly scrape down to the bottom of the pail. This reduces material waste and increases the cost-effectiveness of the dispensing system. Furthermore, the protective container shields the original pail from damage caused by industrial trucks or mechanical impacts in the harsh daily production environment. Consequently, this component forms an indispensable safety barrier for a stable and clean lubricant supply.
