50:1 Pneumatic Grease Pump for 16-Gallon Drum Applications

Running a busy shop means greasing fittings fast, not fighting your equipment. The American Forge & Foundry AFF 8620A is a 50:1 air-operated grease pump built for standard 16-gallon (120 lb.) drums. It delivers grease where you need it without the hand fatigue that stacks up across a shift when you're relying on a hand grease pump or a smaller bucket grease pump. Hook it to your shop air, drop in the follower plate, and you're working.

At a 50:1 ratio, this pneumatic grease pump generates serious output pressure from a modest air supply. Running at 70-100 PSI inlet pressure, it pushes up to 1.76 lbs. of grease per minute - enough throughput for a fleet maintenance bay or a full-service garage running back-to-back lube jobs without stopping to pump by hand. If you're still pulling from a pail grease pump on a high-volume schedule, this 16-gallon grease pump changes the pace.

The 13-foot delivery hose gives you real reach without dragging the drum across the floor. The follower plate maintains consistent pressure as the drum empties, so you're not digging through a half-full container to pull grease. This is a high pressure grease pump set up the way a production shop actually needs it - complete and ready to connect right out of the box.

It ships free to the lower 48. Parts are available, and direct phone support is a call away if you ever need it. You're not on your own after the sale.

Installation & Setup

This is an air-powered grease pump - no electrical connection, no wiring. You'll need a shop air supply delivering 70-100 PSI. Connect your air line to the pump inlet, set the follower plate into the drum, secure the drum cover, and the unit is ready to run. The built-in control valve lets you manage grease flow directly without going back to the compressor between uses.

Container Compatibility: This unit is matched to 16-gallon (120 lb.) drums only. It is not a grease pump bucket or 5-gallon setup - the follower plate and cover are sized for the 16-gallon drum diameter. Confirm your drum size before ordering.

Air Supply: Keep your inlet pressure within the 70-100 PSI operating range. Running outside that window affects pump performance and can accelerate component wear.

Air Operated Grease Pump Applications

Commercial Auto and Lube Shops

Back-to-back lube jobs demand consistent grease delivery. The 50:1 ratio and 1.76 lb./min output keeps pace with a full bay schedule - no stopping to refill, no hand-pumping between vehicles.

Fleet Maintenance Facilities

Trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment all need regular greasing at multiple points. An air grease pump at this output rate cuts service time per unit and keeps your techs moving through the schedule.

Industrial and Manufacturing Maintenance

Scheduled lubrication in production environments calls for a pneumatic grease pump that doesn't slow the line. The AFF 8620A runs at 82 dB - relatively quiet for a shop environment.

Agricultural and Heavy Equipment Service

Farm equipment, loaders, and construction machinery have high grease-point counts. Where an automatic grease pump cartridge setup can't keep up with drum-volume demand, this unit fills the gap cleanly.

Shipping

Free Shipping to the Lower 48 states. No freight surprises at checkout.
