The SKF LAGG is an air-operated pump that pulls grease out of a drum and pushes it under pressure to a single point or to a centralized lubrication line. Because it sits on a trolley, it can be rolled from one area of the plant to another and keeps the drum standing upright while it works. We supply this SKF line and can help you match the unit to your drum size and to the amount of grease your operation goes through.

Reading the code tells you most of what you need. LAGG is the pneumatic drum grease pump family. The figure right after it is the drum capacity in kilograms for that version. The letters at the end, AE or AF, show how the unit is mounted and which follower it carries. The codes given as examples are simply different setups inside the same family, all built around 18 kg drums. Sending the complete code is the safest way to get the exact variant quoted.

You will find these pumps in production plants, maintenance shops, mining and cement operations, oilseed processing and food facilities, anywhere bearings, chains, guides and other equipment are greased on a routine. Packaging lines, flour mills, aggregate plants and truck fleets are typical users. Moving the unit on its trolley between work areas is straightforward, and the drum stays vertical during pumping. Where several points have to be fed from one drum, the pump can also be tied into a centralized lubrication system.

Selection starts with two numbers: the capacity of the drum you actually use and how much grease each lubrication point consumes. Inlet air pressure sets the outlet pressure through the pressure ratio, so a higher line pressure gives you more flow at the far end. Make sure the follower suits the consistency of your lubricant, with NLGI 2 being the usual choice. When you mount the pump, lock the drum onto the trolley, prime the unit before the hose goes on, and let out any trapped air. A follower that is properly lined up avoids channeling and loss of suction.

SKF LAGG pumps can stand in for pneumatic drum pumps from other makers when the capacity matches. What matters is the working air pressure, the drum diameter and the outlet connection type. Replacing an existing pump means comparing pressure ratio and flow so distant points still receive grease. Followers, gaskets and valves from SKF keep everything compatible inside the same series. If you are unsure about an equivalent from another brand, ask us.

We supply the SKF LAGG line and help you settle on the model that fits your drum and your air network. Send the full code by WhatsApp, for instance LAGG 18AE-5, and you will receive a quote for the configuration you need. If the variant is unclear, just tell us which drum you use and how many points you grease.
