Loobtoob Basics - How To Fill

These are basic written instructions on how to fill loobtoob with semi-solid materials.

For the most updated and detailed instructions please see our shared google doc this link!

  1. When working with certain materials gloves are recommended.
  2. Remove all Applicators, Adapters and Hoses.
  3. Loosen the backing nut completely.
  4. Pull the plunger out of the syringe.
  5. Clean components with a shop rag .
  6. The Syringe is ready to accept material.

Materials are stored in many ways which results in the following instructions.


Tube with Nozzle / Satchets / other self-dispensing storage

This is the best way to move material into a loobtoob because it is convenient and clean.


    1. Clip the nozzle so there is a 5-10mm opening depending on loobtoob size.
    2. Insert the nozzle from the tube of material directly into the syringe.
  • Fill only the rear 50-70% of the syringe leaving an air gap at the nozzle end.
    •
      1. There should be no air at the open end of the syringe.
      2. Install the plunger leaving no air between the plunger and the material.
      3. Clean with a shop rag and isopropyl alcohol if needed.
      4. Depress the plunger to purge the air from the nozzle end.
  • Re-Install the applicator and return to service. 

    • Tub / Vat / Tube w/o Nozzle

    There are many ways to approach moving material like grease out of a tub, vat, or tube that has no nozzle. I have detailed the icing bag method below; you will need a spoon and plastic bag.


      1. Roll the sides of a plastic bag down so that you can access one of the corners.
  • Use a plastic spoon to move the material from the tub into the corner of the bag.
    •
      1. Unroll the sides of the plastic back and spin to force the material into the corner.
      2. You have now made an icing bag, this could be used over multiple refillings.
      3. Clip the end of the bag so there is a 5-10mm opening depending on loobtoob size.
      4. Insert the nozzle from the icing bag directly into the syringe.
  • Fill only the rear 50-70% of the syringe leaving an air gap at the nozzle end.
    •
      1. There should be no air at the open end of the syringe.
      2. Install the plunger leaving no air between the plunger and the material.
      3. Clean with a shop rag and isopropyl alcohol if needed.
      4. Depress the plunger to purge the air from the nozzle end.
  • Re-Install the applicator and return to service. 

    • This should cover most loobtoob filing questions in a written only format. There are better more detailed video instructions with tips on the way. Please read these and let me know if it helps!
