Pail Pump with Ram and Lift


Yamada Grease Pump, 35lb. Pail
G. P. Reeves GPY series grease pail pumps include ram, lift, and castors. Automatic empty shut-off is available.


Are you sick and tired of:

  • hearing your grease pump cycle rapidly without it pumping grease and kicking and shaking your pump to get it to pump?
  • manually lifting your pump out of the pail for pail changes?
  • having contaminated grease because the pump suction was placed on the floor during pail change?
  • not knowing how much grease remains in the pail without manually lifting the pump from the pail?
  • being disappointed every day by a grease pump that was purchased based on its low price?


Wouldn’t you rather:

  • have dependable grease pump operation even with heavy thick grease?
  • flip a valve handle and have an air operated lift raise your pump straight up and out of the pail?
  • know that your pump suction can not be placed on the floor, ever?
  • know how much grease remains in the pail just by looking at the position of the visible ram?
  • be pleased every day with your purchase of a high-quality, reliable grease pump?

Air Detection and Removal in a Grease Dispenser!

Many products must be greased properly during assembly to prevent defects, returns, and warranty charges.  How can you be sure that the right amount of grease is applied?  Can a single air bubble in the grease line cause a part to get no grease at all?

Today’s manufacturing and quality environment simply requires that these question be answered properly.  The AAPGD grease dispenser uses G.P. Reeves’ patented process for air detection and removal.

Find air in the grease and remove it BEFORE it goes to the nozzle, Before it goes in your product, BEFORE costly defects and recalls.

Snuff-back Device Keeps Nozzles Clean

Grease dispensing nozzles often have a tendency to ooze some grease after dispensing.  This can be caused by air trapped in the delivery line, expansion of the delivery line, and even compressibility in the grease itself.  While these root causes should be addressed, a snuff-back device mounted near the nozzle tip can be used to draw back a small amount of grease after each dispense cycle. Now, the decompressing grease is contained within the snuffback device and the nozzle until the next dispense cycle. This compact, easy to mount device minimizes or eliminates oozing or drooling of grease from a nozzle tip.

Confirm Grease Flow by Pressure

pressure sensor
EPS1001 - This compact new pressure sensor makes it possible. When mounted near a dispense nozzle, the sensor will read the back pressure at that point. Pressure too high indicates a clogged nozzle. Pressure too low indicates a broken hose or dispenser (metering valve) failure upstream. When grease is flowing properly through the nozzle, the pressure will be somewhere between these extremes. Once the normal operating pressure is determined, high and low limits can be set to reject parts where the grease flow is suspect.

EPS1001 Pressure Sensor Wiring Diagram

The EPS1001 requires a PLC with an analog input (0 - 10 Volts). A sample program is provided (Allen Bradley RSLogix) to collect pressure data during dispense time and test several pressure samples against preset limits.
