Follower Plate ø400mm, Drums: 50-60kg, Shank ø30mm

The 400mm Follower Plate Ø30mm Shank is designed to improve grease extraction in drum-mounted pumping systems using 30 mm shank pumps. It ensures consistent product delivery by maintaining contact with the grease surface inside the drum.

The follower plate fits drums with an internal diameter range of 360–400 mm and is suitable for 50–60 kg drum applications. It moves downward as product is dispensed, using atmospheric pressure created by the pump to maintain contact with the grease. This action helps push grease into the pump intake, reducing air pockets and improving flow consistency.

The design also helps scrape residual grease from the drum walls, improving product usage and reducing waste. It is especially effective in low-temperature conditions or when handling high-viscosity greases where product flow can become restricted.
