operators who intend to consult it. 

 

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

 

The pneumatic pump “LOCOPUMP S3” uses compressed air to control the grease quantity which is delivered from the pump. 
Hence, it should be used on machines where compressed air is readily available. 
It's a grease single effect pneumatic pump generally used in systems with single-line progressive dividers as SMX, SMO, SMP or 
SMPM

 

filling filter 

 
In the standard version the pump is fitted of a 2kg reservoir spring loaded, whereby the pump can easily provide grease NLGI 2. 
The transparent reservoir allows to see clearly the amount of remaining grease moreover there is a minimum level sensor. This 
pump is designed to have a maximum level sensor and an adjustable delivery kit. 
 
Loading connection is completed of a filter guaranteeing the input of clean lubricant into the reservoir. 
It’s possible to use a filtered clean grease return in the reservoir. 
The maximum level is available only on request, for more information contact Dropsa sales department. 

 

3. IDENTIFICATION OF THE MACHINE 

 

On  the  front  part  of  the  pump  tank  there  is  a  plate  which  indicates  the  product  code,  the  supply  voltage  and  the  basic 
characteristics.
