Follower plates are always recommended but they become indispensable when using particularly hard greases. The follower plate is pulled towards the bottom of the drum by the vacuum created by the pump and always ensures the following advantages:
Compresses the grease, preventing air pockets from forming and possible cavitation of the pump
Keeps the grease clean, as well as preserving its characteristics
Enables collection of all the grease from the bottom of the drum, that would otherwise remain stuck to the sides.
