BULK DELIVERY OF LUBRICATING GREASE

THE transportation of material in bulk containers over the past few years has increased until the variety of loads carried is infinite, indeed even the casual road user cannot have failed to notice the increasing numbers of tank carrying vehicles ; everything from concrete to flour is now accepted as normal. Labour is one of the heaviest charges in industry today and here perhaps is the main reason for the change ; handling any material by hand carries with it a premium in labour costs with loading and unloading and often double and treble handling. As is often the case when economic reasons cause readjustment of industrial methods other advantages also come to light, e.g. delivery of flour in bulk is cleaner and less wasteful than carrying in sacks. The same can be said for most other materials.
