KAJO Greasing System
It is without a doubt that the introduction of the KAJO 500g screw-in cartridge has changed the game when it comes to machine lubrication in Australia. The existing 450g pull top cartridges are outdated and make greasing messy, dirty and time-consuming job while in contrast, the KAJO screw-in cartridges provide faster, cleaner & more efficient greasing. Pairing this grease with an OxRock adapter means you can use the screw in grease range with your battery grease gun; we will discuss the process of adapting your gun in this blog. With the KAJO system, you can see what grease you are using and exactly how much grease is left at any time. You can switch between different grease types if necessary and the 50g more product means less frequent cartridge changes – although it only takes less than 15 seconds now!!
Say goodbye to messy greasing routines!
I don’t think any of us will miss using the problematic metal plunger and the mess that comes with tirelessly peeling back tops of cartridges and switching out messy old tubes.

Using KAJOs greasing system ultimately means more time for what really matters – machines in operation with less down-time!
Acquire, Adapt & Accelerate!
Once you have purchased your OxRock adapter compatible with your battery grease gun and KAJO grease suited to your applications, you’re ready to adapt your battery grease gun! Start by removing the old metal plunger from your greaser and give the black seal on the inside a thorough clean, we recommend using brake cleaner or degreaser to ensure no residue remains. Then, using the 24mm socket tool you want to insert your adapter and torque to 25nm or until adapter is fully secured into position. That’s your grease gun adapted for use the KAJO 500g cartridges!
The OxRock adapter will remain as a fixture within the gun, and you can bin your old metal plunger! 
Prepare, Prime & Pump!
Once your grease gun is adapted, take the screw cap off your KAJO grease cartridge and push the bottom of the plunger up until 5-10ml of grease protrudes from the top, this is an important step to eliminate risk of potential air pockets entering the system, ensuring it works smoothly with every use. Then insert the grease into your newly adapted gun, give the plunger another push so that some grease can enter the grease chamber manually. Continue pushing the plunger while simultaneously pressing your guns bleeder button to release any air from the grease chamber. Keep pushing until air is released and grease exits from the bleeder hole with a steady flow.
Did you know - The KAJO grease cartridges work on a vacuum system, as the white plunger pulls up through the cartridge when the grease gun is in use. You will be able to see exactly when the cartridge is fully empty as the white plunger will be at the top of the cartridge. With every used cartridge, there will be 100% use of the 500g grease product inside the cartridge – NO WASTE!
Ready to go!
Now that your gun is adapted & primed you can enjoy all the benefits of the KAJO greasing system to save time, effort and mess during machine maintenance.
You can now grease in your Sunday best gear!
