Grease gun is a commonly used lubrication tool, but it often has blockage problems during use, affecting work efficiency. The following are the main causes of grease gun blockage and quick elimination methods:
Causes of blockage
Grease quality problems
Impurities mixed in
Grease mixed with impurities such as dust or foreign matter during storage or filling, which can easily cause blockage.
Long-term cleaning
After long-term use of the grease gun, the old grease remaining inside oxidizes and hardens, resulting in poor fluidity.
Improper operation
If the grease gun is not operated as required, it may cause air to enter or insufficient pressure, which will affect the normal output of grease.
Quick elimination method
Cleaning the grease gun
Disassemble the grease gun and thoroughly clean the internal pipeline and pump body with a cleaning agent to ensure that there is no old grease residue.
Replace high-quality grease
Use high-quality grease that meets the specifications and avoid using expired or hardened grease in low-temperature environments.
Check and clean the nozzle
Use a fine needle or compressed air to clear the nozzle to ensure that the grease channel is unobstructed.
Expel air
If there is air in the grease gun, repeatedly press the pump to exhaust until the grease flows out.
Replace seals
If the seals inside the grease gun are aged or damaged, replace them with new ones in time to avoid leakage and blockage.
Preventive measures
Regularly clean and maintain the grease gun to reduce the accumulation of grease residue.
