Exhibits
Named ALBA offerings include the Slimline Quick Release Grease Coupler Set and Mini Grease Gun Professional Kit, alongside manual and pneumatic grease guns, lubrication accessories and specialty fastening tools. The ATOM range includes KC-401-ECO-ATOM-N30 14oz/400g Automatic Air Spray-Coating Grease Gun and KC-401-ECO-ATOM-XL-N30 with an extended extension, both described as ECO versions with a diffusion-type nozzle powered by αtom™ technology. KC-401FC Fiber Composite Continuous Shot Air Grease Gun uses a lightweight heavy-duty fiber-composite body, a continuous pressurization system, three-way loading by bulk, filler pump or 14oz grease cartridge, an air-vent valve and a four-jaw coupler. KC-401FC is specified for an operating-temperature range of -10˚ to 40˚C, a grease rate of 288 ml/min, viscosity up to NLGI#2, air consumption of 1.19 CFM, a 1/4-inch air inlet and a 3/8-inch I.D. hose. Its listed configuration includes an 18-inch flexible hose with spring guard and a 360° inbuilt kink-free slimline quick-release grease coupler, with a product weight of 1 kg, bulk capacity of 450g and cartridge capacity of 14oz/400g. KC-401FC uses 90 PSI (6 Bar) input pressure and 3,600 PSI (248 Bar) output pressure, and its application list covers industry, mining, aviation, automotive, motorcycle, truck, agriculture, machinery and marine industry. Related air-grease-gun models on the same page include KC-400FC fiber-composite single-shot, KC-400 single-shot, KC-401 continuous-shot and KC-400K air grease-gun set. GA-016 LeverLite™ Slimline Quick Release Grease Coupler uses a 13.5mm O.D. nozzle, an inbuilt hose-swivel connector, integrated one-piece jaws and an extra-long LeverLite™ lever. GA-016 is available in 1/8-inch PT, 1/8-inch NPT and M10x1 threads, is specified for all SAE or Metric grease fittings, and has a listed working pressure of 10,000 PSI (690 Bar). The coupler is specified at 90mm in length, 37mm in height, a valid nose length of 26.4mm and a weight of 113g including the connector, and it is listed for hand, battery-powered or air-operated grease guns and pumps. ALBA also describes GA-016 as disconnecting without grease splash and as maintaining its seal through repeated use, while its applications include mining, aviation, automotive, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, agriculture, machinery and marine work. KCG-481LN is a 16oz/450g variable-stroke pistol-grip grease gun with a 12-inch flexible extension, pistol-grip lever action, cast-aluminum body, ergonomic handle, bleeder valve and four-jaw coupler. KCG-481LN supports bulk, filler-nipple and 16oz/450g cartridge loading, is rated to a maximum working pressure of 8,000 PSI, handles viscosity up to NLGI#3 and dispenses 0.8g per stroke. Its listed weight is 1.44 kg, bulk capacity is 18oz/500g and cartridge capacity is 16oz/450g, with applications in aviation, automotive, motorcycle, truck, agriculture, machinery and marine industry. KC-401 Continuous Shot Air Grease Gun uses a heavy-duty cast-aluminum body, continuous pressurization, three-way loading, a bleeder valve and a 6-inch curved pipe with a standard coupler. KC-401 is listed at a grease rate of 288 ml/min, air consumption of 1.19 CFM, viscosity up to NLGI#3, weight of 1.6 kg, 450g bulk capacity and 14oz/400g cartridge capacity. The KC-401 specification uses 90 PSI (6 Bar) input pressure and 3,600 PSI (248 Bar) output pressure and lists industry, mining, aviation, automotive, motorcycle, truck, agriculture, machinery and marine applications. KCG-481LN-20ES16 combines a 16oz/450g variable-stroke pistol-grip grease gun with the EcoSmart® System, a LeverLite™ slimline quick-release grease coupler and a 20-inch/508mm flexible grease hose with protective spring. Its three-way loading supports bulk grease, refill through the EcoSmart® screw using a filler pump, or a 16oz/450g standard cartridge, while the pistol-grip lever, cast-aluminum body, ergonomic handle and knurled grip form the manual-gun platform. KCG-481LN-20ES16 is specified for a maximum working pressure of 8,000 PSI and viscosity up to NLGI#3, with a listed weight of 1.63 kg, 18oz/500g bulk capacity and 16oz/450g cartridge capacity. The EcoSmart® System incorporates an international grease filler intended to avoid country-specific refill adaptors, an automatic air releaser that prioritizes expelling unwanted air pockets, and a heat-treated grease-coupler holder that protects the coupler and recycles back-pressure grease into the barrel. Applications listed for KCG-481LN-20ES16 include industry, mining, aviation, automotive, forklifts and aerial lifts, mobile cranes, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, agriculture, machinery and marine industry. Related 16oz/450g products include KCG-500 lever grease gun, KCG-481N grip-type grease gun, KCG-481LN-20ES15 with EcoSmart® and quick-release coupler, KC-500 single-shot air grease gun and KC-505FC-20ES16 fiber-composite continuous-shot air grease gun with EcoSmart® and slimline quick-release coupler. KCT-D22 is a 14/15 GA pneumatic piston-returned D-ringer compatible with BOSTITCH TR315, using 3/4-inch BOSTITCH RINGS R15, KHF K15D50 and ENCORE HARTCO RD1001 collated rings. The KCT-D22 uses a pneumatic piston-return system and a loss-free rotatable magazine that can pivot in 90-degree increments for reloading, with a 125-nail magazine capacity and an operating pressure of 50 to 70 PSI (3.5 to 4.8 Bar). Its application list spans sofa work, oil-absorption socks, sea farming, bungee cord, rope and cable, insulation, car seats, bedding mattresses, agriculture, bagging, meshing, netting, fencing, caging, landscaping, gabions, horticulture, tagging, nursery and fruit tying.
