Reduce Costs and get More Control over your Plant

With an annual turnover of €750 billion and more than 25,000 companies employing 25 million people in the European Union alone, the food and beverage industry is the dominating sector in nearly every country and clearly amongst the largest industry sectors in the world.

Nowadays, most food producers are working strongly in the set-up or the improvement of best practice management systems and condition based maintenance approaches. They derive in the reduction of manufacturing and maintenance cost, energy and water consumption.

Food Grade Lubricants reduce costs

With upgrades to Interflon lubrication technology, important improvements can be achieved without compromises in product quality, even in the event of incidental contact. For instance:
 

• Upgrading to dry-film conveyor lubrication leads to lower costs for the water consumed and lowers the costs for the effluent treatment on site (or discharge) at the same time. >> More …

In parallel, the application of best lubrication practices together with Interflon Food Grade approved products has economic benefits too. The reduction in unexpected breakdown, engineering downtime and repair and maintenance cost is quite variable, though savings of three to four percent in R&M/Kg are not uncommon.

NSF Listed, Food Grade Lubricants that save costs

• Besides, an energy minimization strategy is the most often overlooked way of saving costs. They can be quite common to all production processes. Main minimization options include upgrading lubricants in gearboxes, compressors, hydraulic systems and on chains and conveyors. >> Here's what can be achieved ...

For a rapidly growing number of food and beverage manufacturers, Interflon lubricants is the way forward. They keep their machines running longer, aid performance and reduce costs whilst giving more control over their plants. Why not perform a trial upgrade to establish the benefits at your site?
