An air base located in Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid) required lubrication equipment in some of their maintenance hangars dedicated to servicing forest fire fighting and SAR (Search and Rescue) aircraft.
The existing aircraft greasing system used manual grease guns, which led to slow and complicated servicing processes, especially for seaplanes. For maintenance purposes they used a special airplane grease, supplied in small 5 kg pails. These grease pails and the grease supplying method proved to be inefficient and time-consuming, highlighting that using small pails is not a practical and time-efficient approach.
